I remember the days when my boys were little…they would have LOVED this book. This is perfect for those kiddos who are learning where their eyes, nose, legs, tummies, etc. are. It also gets both parents and kids involved with the book and each other…very interactive and so much fun. This would make a great gift for new parents, too.
Duck and Goose decide they want a pumpkin after they see that a friend has one. They look in a log, in a leaf pile, up in a tree, in a pond and on top of a stump and they still can’t find one. That’s when their friend suggests they look in the pumpkin patch. A very cute first book about Halloween or fall.
A book that is a good reminder that even a day that starts out bad can turn around to be a good day. Little yellow bird loses his favorite tail feather, but later on forgets about it and ends up flying higher than he has ever flown before. Little white dog gets tangled up in his leash, but works himself free and runs through the dandelions. Little brown squirrel drops an acorn, but later on finds the biggest acorn ever. The illustrations are charming and the text is simple and sweet.
If you have a child who likes to play peek-a-boo and/or who is really into animal sounds, they WILL love this book. Not only does it have flaps, but it has pets playing peek-a-boo, it rhymes and it’s also about animal sounds. This is one of those books that you end up reading so much the flaps fall off. 🙂
This is a beautifully illustrated board book that is perfect for babies and toddlers. When my guys were that age they loved this book and it got read again and again and again. Each page asks “Whose baby am I?” and when your child turns the page they will see the baby animals with its mother. Little ones love baby animals and it’s fun to see how the baby animals look the same or different from their moms. This book features giraffes, seals, pandas, zebras, penguins and more.
This classic counting book has children thinking outside the box and seeing that they may look like black dots, but three black dots can made a snowman’s face or eight black dots can make the wheels on a train, for example. This would also be a great lead-in to a fun art project. The children could make their own project with a certain number of dots and turn it into their own creation. Fun times!
I can’t even tell you how many times I have read this book to both of my boys, but the answer is somewhere around A LOT. Little ones LOVE flap books and they also love being able to point to and name their body parts and this book has both!
A beautiful story about several little babies all born at about the same time in very different places, but they all have ten little fingers and ten little toes. A perfect match for your little one who likes to explore their fingers and toes or for your toddler who is obsessed with babies. This would make a great baby gift as well.
This is a FANTASTIC book for toddlers and early preschoolers. Not only does it have animals in it, but it talks about different body parts AND invites the children to do the actions along with the animals. For example: I am a monkey and I wave my arms. Can you do it? So much fun!
In this tale, an Inuit girl asks her mother a lot of “what if” questions to see if there is anything she could do that would make her mother stop loving her. What if she threw water on the candle and made it go out…what is she put salmon in her mama’s parka…what if she put an ermine in her mama’s mukluks…what if she dropped the ptarmigan eggs…what if she turned into a mean polar bear with sharp teeth…no matter what she says her mother reassures her that the love she has for her is unconditional. Not only is this a sweet story of the love a mother has for her daughter, the book also has beautiful illustrations.
