My Very Own Norman

Description

Danny’s friend, Norman, wears a blue bandana with his embroidered name. My Very Own Norman, at 9³/4″, tall is a great addition to your classroom and family.

Welcome the stuffed versions of Danny and his friends into the classroom and put them to work as reading and writing tools. Studies have demonstrated that stuffed animals can make great “book hooks.” The favorite stuffed character can also be a patient audience for a student practicing fluency by reading aloud. For younger students, stuffed animals can offer social and emotional support, as well as celebrate character traits.
