Have you ever been to a zoo? Did you notice that the animals come from all over the world? In Roller Skating Ralph Goes to Italy, Tracy Blom builds on that theme. Her delightful story of Ralph, the skating giraffe, will entertain children as they follow him on his journeys outside the zoo. A new resident arrives and Ralph informs the new animal - an ibex - that he will soon be going on another adventure. The ibex invites Ralph to visit Rome. As Ralph and his traveling companions explore Rome, children will be thrilled by the sights and sounds of that great city. Traveling with Ralph is a terrific way for children to explore the world. This is an adorable and creative story that children of all ages will enjoy.
A roller-skating giraffe, animals that travel on a plane, and touring foreign cities all come together to make a most delightful book for children. The Alpine Ibex arrives at the zoo, then goes with Ralph, the roller-skating giraffe, and other zoo animals on a whirlwind tour of Rome. The city comes to life as the child reads Roller Skating Ralph Goes to Italy. While children are having fun reading about Ralph and his adventures, they also learn about a different culture and geography. Tracy Blom knows how to make learning enjoyable. Studies have shown that what children learn while having fun stays with them much longer than what they learn when bored. Read this book with your child and discuss different types of animals, where they are from, and the cultures they represent. Help your child look up information about the geography of the cities they discover.
