Episode: Wheezie's Last Laugh

Challenge: Distinguishing sounds

View: While searching for their soccer ball in the tall grass, the kids and dragons are startled to discover a dragon frog crowing like a rooster. Who is behind this? An elfin wiseguy named Mr. Pop, who is collecting unique sounds with his "sound sucker-outer" gizmo and then switching them with other sounds.

Do: Read a picture book with your child that contains animals and ask your child to try to imitate the sound each animal makes. Take turns playing a game where one makes a sound while the other guesses who or what might make that sound. You can also ask what sounds different objects make, such as a clock, a dog, or a car.

Read: In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming or City Sounds by Craig Brown
