My middle son loved The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge when he was younger. We would read this book over and over again. So, I was so excited to introduce my nephew to this story last year.

This sweet picture book has many teaching points in it. Little ones can learn about New York or about rivers. They’ll enjoy learning more about bridges and lighthouses. You can talk to your learners about being proud and boastful.

Best of all, you can remind them that great things come in small packages.

Discover a great collection of go-alongs, printables, and resources for The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge.
