Why read Silly Hoot's Hilarious Hooves with your child

Read it with big silly voices, and let your child act out the mishaps. Hoot dances, spins, trips, and flops, and every fall ends with friends laughing, not scolding. Pause and ask which of Hoot's moves was the silliest, and what your child does when something goes wrong. The lesson lands softly: true friends accept you just the way you are, even when you are silly.
