Original Book on Book Dash: Tikky! Boom! Tish! (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at each instrument for a child to guess or make its sound, then read the combined patterns together. Let them set the pace and invent variations.
- Themes
- Making music together: The book invites readers to make sounds for pictured instruments and join them into rhythmic sequences. The invitation and images of the child participating present music-making as something readers can join, rather than something reserved for experts.
- Worth knowing
- The book centres on sound-making and repeated musical words. If a child prefers quieter reading, you can enjoy the patterns by speaking softly or pointing instead.
