Great Learning Tool

I have a home daycare. The children clap and dance around when I take this book out to read to them. They have so much fun singing along & doing all the actions. It has helped them with counting & following directions. They always yell "Read it again, read it again". I would recommend this to everyone that has toddlers in their home or for daycare centers.

This is the best for 2-3 year olds!

My daughter LOVES this book. It's become our night time favorite. Fun songs with hand/body actions to go along with each one. Some she already knew, but many are new to us. Since we started reading this, she sings out loud throughout the day some of the new songs she has learned. I've recommended this to family and friends and purchase it for birthday gifts - much better than the toys that already fill our homes.
