Who doesn’t love Spot the puppy? He is on an adventure with his mother
to the grocery store and what fun it is to watch them shop! The different groceries
are easily discernable and the text lends itself to really expand a child’s
vocabulary about different things bought in a supermarket. A great example is
when Spot’s mother holds orange juice and asks Spot if he would like to buy it
and he holds oranges and says “Can we make our own?” The oranges are next to
lemons and grapes and when I read this to my three year old I asked him what
would be made if Spot held the grapes and my son deduced it would make grape
juice and the lemons would make lemon juice. The only thing better than the
bright pictures and Spot’s enthusiasm is the opportunity this book creates for
a child and their parent to create a shopping list of their own and go on their
own shopping expedition!
Who's My Baby - Sassy
I am always on the lookout for great board books for babies and
toddlers. My criteria is that the book must be engaging for both the child and
the reader, educational and worth reading over and over again. Who’s My Baby is exactly this kind of
book. It has vibrant pictures, large, sturdy lift the flaps and a mirror in the
back for the child to get excited to see themselves. The book has few words but
gives the reader the opportunity to say things like “These are cats, their
babies are called kittens”. It is a great book to teach the names of animals
and their young and you will always find the cutest baby at the end!
Baby's ABC - Sassy
With sturdy pages, vibrant illustrations and excellent depictions of words, this is a really fun way to learn the alphabet. I love that the book shows both the capital and lowercase letter on each page and it is an easy engaging board book to jumpstart baby's vocabulary!
