Page-by-Page Story Description:
Page 1:
Parent: Look, honey! Here are some super colorful blocks. Each block is a different shape and color. There are red squares, blue rectangles, and yellow triangles. Just imagine all the amazing things we can build with them. Do you think we can build a rocket or maybe a big ship?
Child: Blocks!
Parent: Exactly! These blocks are like magic building bricks. We can create anything our minds can think up.
Page 2:
Parent: Oh, look at this! The blocks are starting to move all by themselves. It's like they have a life of their own. They're stacking up higher and higher. Can you count how many blocks are in the tower as it grows?
Child: One, two, three...
Parent: Great job counting! Now, what do you think this tall tower could be? Maybe it's a tower for a brave knight to stand on and keep watch.
Child: A tall tower!
Page 3:
Parent: Oh no! The tower fell down with a big crash. But don't be sad, because the blocks are already on the move again. It's like a block adventure! Now, let's see what they're making this time. Can you guess?
Child: Maybe a... a robot?
Parent: That's a great guess! But look closely, it's taking a different shape. It's getting walls and a roof.
Child: A house!
Parent: You're so smart! It is a little house. Just like the cozy home where we live.
Page 4:
Parent: Yes, it’s a lovely little house. Do you see the door and the windows? The door is where we can go in and out, and the windows let the light shine inside. Let’s knock on the door! Knock, knock! Maybe there's a friendly little monster living inside.
Child: Knock, knock!
Parent: Wonder if anyone will answer. Maybe we'll hear a funny little voice from inside.

Parent: Now the blocks are up to something new again. They're moving around and forming a long shape. And look, there are wheels appearing! What could it be?
Child: A train!
Parent: You're right! It's a super cool train. This train could take us on a trip to a far - away land full of fun and surprises.
Page 6:
Parent: Choo-choo! The train is moving. It's chugging along on its tracks. Let's use our arms to pretend we're the wheels turning. Where do you think the train is going? Maybe it's going to the North Pole to see Santa.
Child: Choo-choo!
Parent: Let's make the sound a bit louder, like a real train going through a big tunnel. Choo - choo!

Parent: The blocks are changing once more. They're coming together to form an animal shape. It has four legs and a tail. Take a close look and tell me what animal you think it is.
Child: A dog!
Parent: That's spot on! It's a friendly - looking dog. Just like the dogs we see at the park.
Page 8:
Parent: Yes, it’s a happy dog! Dogs are so much fun. They love to play and run around. Can you bark like a dog? Let's see who can bark the loudest.
Child: Woof, woof!
Parent: Wow, that's a really good bark! Maybe the dog wants to play fetch with us.
Page 9:
Parent: The blocks are on the move one more time. They're building something big and round. It's like a big, bouncy object. What could it be?
Child: A ball!
Parent: You guessed it! It's a wonderful ball. We can play all sorts of games with a ball, like catch or basketball.
Page 10:
Parent: Great job! The blocks made a ball. Let's pretend to bounce it. Bounce, bounce! Up and down, just like we would with a real ball. Can you bounce it higher?
Child: Bounce, bounce!
Parent: Higher and higher! It's like the ball is flying up to the sky.
Page 11:
Parent: Now the blocks are back in the box. They're all resting, waiting for our next adventure. We can build something new tomorrow. What should we build next time? You had a great idea about a castle before. Do you still want to build a castle? Maybe we can build a castle with a moat and drawbridge.
Child: A castle!
Parent: That will be so much fun. We can use the blocks to make the tall towers and thick walls of the castle. And we can even make some little knights to protect it.
Tips for Reading Together:
? Use gestures and sounds (e.g., “knock knock,” “choo-choo,” “woof woof”) to make the story interactive. For example, when making the train sound, you can also walk around the room in a train - like motion, with your child following behind.
? Ask your child questions to encourage participation and imagination. You could ask things like "If the house was real, who would you want to live in it with you?" or "What would the dog's name be?"
? After reading, play with real blocks and try building the shapes from the book together! You can also challenge your child to build their own unique creation and then tell a story about it. This helps to boost their creativity and language skills. You could start by saying, "Let's build the train first. How many blocks do you think we'll need for the engine?"
