Preschoolers love baby animals, and they love to move. Celebrate both
with a hard-wearing Toddler Tough picture book perfect for an active
read-aloud.
Calves swim, / Hatchlings bounce, / Porcupettes nibble, / Kittens
pounce. Story time is on the move with this multilayered concept book.
Preschoolers will enjoy learning fun baby animal names from echidna
"puggles" to whale "calves," and they'll revel in using their bodies to
mimic the movements each animal makes. Bright photographs give a
close-up look at every kitten, cygnet, and foal, as well as young
children who are pouncing, snuggling, and racing alongside them. The
rhyming text teaches young minds pattern recognition for language
learning and reading readiness, and a closing spread of enriching,
age-appropriate activities keeps the learning going.
A new addition to the Big, Little Concepts series by author and
children's librarian Jane Whittingham, Animals Move will have
everybody wiggling and giggling through story time. Later, little ones
can explore the book on their own with its padded cover, rounded
corners, and extra-heavy pages that are easy to turn and hard to tear.
