There are so many things to love about this book. It rhymes, it gives children the opportunity to count backwards, it has a lot of repetition which is great for children’s participation which is wonderful for pre-readers and early readers and it has animal sounds. This book will appeal to children of many different age levels because it has so much to offer.
Duck has lost the key to his car. He doesn’t know where it is, but there is a mischievous frog that knows exactly where his car key is. In this rhyming lift-the-flap-book, your child will love that they know where the key is, but Duck doesn’t. Duck does eventually find his car keys, of course, but he ends of forgetting something else. Silly Duck. 🙂
Since we just got back from the beach…luckily our trip to the beach went a little more smoothly than the family in this story. This is a cute story of a family who just can’t seem to remember all of their beach gear and they have to keep turning back. They turn back again and again and again and then it starts to rain. They make lemons out of lemonade though and enjoy the beach in their own way.
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. 🙂
The man and his wife are quiet people; they don’t make a peep and neither does their pet cat or their pet parrot. One day, however, a mouse sneaks into their house and this mouse snores SOOOOO loudly that not only does it wake them up, but it shakes their house. Will the quiet couple kick the mouse out? Will they teach the mouse to be quiet or will they just learn to live with his noisy ways? Such a cute story about getting along, acceptance and making the best out of a situation. Oh, and it rhymes and you know how much I love a good story that rhymes. 🙂
Such a neat book to explore some of the interesting creatures that live in the sea and work on counting all at the same time. This book is great for discussing new words (sea dragons, coral polyps, tide) and it has collage illustrations which are something to discuss with your child as well. How do these pictures look different than typical book illustrations?
A roaring rhyming counting romp through the African savanna with a cute little lion cub and all of his friends.
An adorable rhyming cumulative tale of a bunch of critters boarding the bus on the way to school…a goat in his coat, a pig in a wig, a sly fox wearing socks…Very cute and may help take the edge off the nerves any little ones getting ready to ride the bus for the first time this year may have.
These kids are tossing and turning, but they have visions of school supplies dancing in their heads.
This story follows the children through their first day of kindergarten with the familiar rhythm of a favorite Christmas story. There are tears, but you might be surprised who ends up crying…and it’s not the children. 🙂
This book follows Lucy as she counts down the days to kindy by practicing her ABC’s, counting and writing her name until finally it is the night before kindy and she drifts off to sleep counting kindergarten sheep. A cute rhyming countdown to kindergarten that focuses on all of the fun things that kindergarten can bring.
