What Game Shall We Play?

I loved the book and my students enjoyed it too. Towards the end my students chimed in the reading.

Fun (and Educational...don't tell the kids)

This is a good educational book for toddlers and preschoolers. Older children will be more likely to 'get' the humor, but for younger children it provides lots of practice with positional concepts such as: over, under, near, on top of, around, behind, etc. An example from the book: "So off they went to look for Rabbit. Duck looked near his hole, Frog looked on top of the hole, Fox looked around the hole, and Mouse looked into the hole..." These types of descriptions are just the sort of thing that toddlers preschoolers need to know to succeed in school--which is probably why this book is on my entering-K's summer reading list. Five Stars. [A-] A Fun book with cute artwork. Best I think for toddlers and preschoolers.

Finding Friends!

This wonderful children's book excites the young reader by playing an age old game of hide and seek with beautifully illustrated animals. They want to play but don't know what. They take turns finding their friends and asking their opinion, all under Owl's watchful eye. The book teaches relative position, logical thinking and elicits participation in the story. My three children LOVE this book-Even though we have read it repeatedly, they now try to "tell" the animals where to search! A must-have for every child's library.
