Book Review Tuesday!

For today's book review I wanted to scale back a bit and focus on the babies. I feel that since Thomas has grown up so much lately we have entered a different tier of books. Every once and awhile we break out one of his baby books but he usually shakes his head "NO" when I pull an "immature" book off of his shelf! Sheesh! ;)

In this summer's theme of KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE, I decided to go with .....

This is one of my favorite books and authors for my really little ones!! Sandra Boynton does a wonderful job in her writing and rhyming. This is such a simple board book. The illustrations are colorful, fun and a great size! Always enough to capture the attention of your baby! There is a great connection to the six early literacy skills. Phonological awareness, narrative skills and vocabulary to name a few. The rhyming is SO MUCH FUN! "A cow says, MOOOOO!, a sheep says, BAAAAA!, three little pigs say, LA LA LAAA!" This book is just filled with serious amounts of silliness! The animals are all whimsical. If you choose to introduce this book to your baby they will know all of their farm animals very quickly! I know this is what helped Thomas to learn at a fast pace!

As mentioned above, I HIGHLY recommend this book for its phonological awareness! Its ability to help your child start and build up their vocabulary skills and help to develop some interpersonal skills as well! 

Please feel free to share some of your favorite board books and reading moments below! Whether you are a Mommy, Daddy, Caregiver, Teacher or friend we love to hear from you!
