How A Coral Tree Inspired A Mango Tree
Last week, we did a reading of The Coral Tree across MOP sites. I personally read the book with the kids at Taleigao. We particularly enjoyed this book because it brought in components of nonfiction to the book. And though we did not have a Coral Tree near us, we had a number of trees […]
The Balloon
Written by Melcom Braganza ‘The Balloon’ published by NBT, a wordless book is one of the books that I have personally enjoyed while reading to the MOP junior Kids at our MOP sites in St Inez, Chimbel and Taleigao. Though it is a wordless book but it is a book that demands words from the […]
