Bring social-emotional learning, color recognition, and early math into your preschool classroom with this engaging read-aloud companion to Blue Badger by Huw Lewis Jones & Ben Sanders.

This Preschool / PreK resource is designed to be used alongside a teacher read-aloud. Activities are developmentally appropriate, highly visual, and require little to no independent reading or writing.
