Yawning Is Catching (English)

By Beverley Burkett, Denise Manning, Lungi Radasi

Baby Busi is lying near the river while her mother is working in the fields. All of a sudden Baby Busi is swallowed by a frog, which is swallowed by many other animals. But the animals start to yawn, giving the animals they have swallowed a chance to escape. Baby Busi is escapes and ends up on the blanket where she was in the beginning. The main concepts that are carried throughout the telling and teaching of the story include phonological awareness (beginning sounds and rhyming), high frequency words, wild animals, personal pronouns and sequencing.
