“Human Wanted” by Olivia Orr.
I’ve always wanted to see one. Stay bigger, and I got… what a funny nose! We have so many things we want to learn about humans. Can we ask you? What do you think, reading friends? Do you want to answer their questions with me?
I say sure! What do you eat? Answer out loud so we can hear before you turn the page.
Okay, reading friends, so every time we see a red stop sign, it’s our turn to answer the question. If you need more time, make sure to pause the video.
I like to eat sushi. What about you?
Interesting! That sounds dangerous. You must need big teeth!
Okay, this one: What do you like to play? Hmm, there are so many things I like to play. One of my favorite things is board games. How about you?
You must be very talented! That sounds like it has a lot of rules. Do you do any work?
I have lots of chores I do around the house, but my favorite job is reading books to you. Alright, reading friends, do you do any work?
That’s what we thought! What do you love the most?
I just love my family, and I love my reading family too. How about you?
Oh, we love that too! What is your biggest dream?
I’ve got a really big dream. I’d like to fly all over the world and meet each one of my reading friends. Okay, reading friends, your turn!
So admirable! That’s a great dream; we’re cheering for you! And lastly, what do you think is the cutest animal?
I think that one’s obvious! That was rhetorical. That was the first time I’ve ever read a book with all of my grandkids at the same time, and I loved every minute of it! Didn’t they do a great job?
Alright, let’s do some shout-outs today! They’re going out to Rosalie in Georgia, Winnie in Vancouver, Washington, Olivia and Kaia in Katy, Texas, Kayla and Reagan in New York, Kate, Ally, and Maddie in Mississippi, Kristoff in Oroville, California, Luke and Finn in Columbus, Ohio, Conrad in Rhode Island, Kyla in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as well as Delilah in Houston, Texas.
