Board Book : MOO, BAA, LA, LA, LA!


This book is absolutely adorable and so perfect for all young children (6 months to even two year's old). The inside consists of rhyming words like “A cow says moo, a sheep says BAA, three singing pigs say LA LA LA!" and the colors utilized are eye catching. This board book helps children to learn the sounds that animals make and who doesn’t love the cheerful versus inside! it is catchy so this will allow young children to pick up on certain words like “Moo”,  “BAA”, "RUFF" and of course “Oink!” The book itself makes me think about the child’s reaction and I could hear them repeating the rhymes and having so much fun with providing the sounds. The more you read it to the young child the more they will grasp the concept. It’s a great teachable and durable book consisting of the thick board pages and overall it causes such great reactions.

I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It’s appropriate for a broad age range of children, it’s fun and there’s bouncy rhymes to help introduce animals and their signature sounds. There’s even some comedy throughout which is a bonus for adults. What I personally like is the animals are whimsically drawn and all the animals are just merry and charming! this book helps to build those pre-academic skills which is also crucial for those young minds. Children as young as six months will have a reaction to the book through the reader's voice and the vivid art.

    Sandra Boynton combines lyrical, rythmic text with fun illustrations to engage the youngest readers. I personally loved reading these to my sons when they were babies because they are fun and silly!

    I was a huge fan of her books as bedtime stories. I think her illustration is super whimsical and I love the silliness of her stories. I noticed a lot of repetition in the board book that I read too and I think it can be super effective in helping kids match words with sounds and images.

Informational Text #1 : Sea Shapes

Image
Sea Shapes by Suse Macdonald is an engaging book which allows young readers to identify basic shapes that are then transformed into these beautiful under the sea creatures! (which is great to hold the readers interest.) This allows the young kiddos to see how shapes can be hidden within our environment and how we are always around them! It has a good introduction of all different types of shapes like star = starfish, circle= the eyes of the whale, semicircle= the jellyfish’s head, square, heart, triangle= the shark’s fin, hexagon etc. Young readers will definitely view the sea differently after reading this and hopefully be able to point out different shapes for different animals that they see! The book also comes with an informative glossary that includes sea facts! it’s a great combination of geometry, science, art and reading.  The illustration is super fun, super colorful (Bright and vibrant colors of the ocean and who doesn't love the ocean!?) and the book is super simple....

Picture Book #1 A classic : The Lorax

Image
The Lorax written by Dr. Seuss is a such a classic! (One of my favorite picture books) The book consists of rhyming verses, beautifully illustrated pictures and the message of how important it is to take care of your environment. The Lorax is the keeper of the beautifully colored Truffula trees. the Once-ler (entrepreneur) then begins to produce thneeds (which have multiple use's) out of these Truffula trees and once he sees he is making profit he becomes greedy. The once-ler begins chopping a small number of trees down, but when he realizes that more and more people are buying the thneeds he expands the business by building a factory and producing a machine that will chop down huge number of trees. The Lorax who speaks on behalf of the trees warns the Once-ler that this will cause serious harm. A variety of creatures start to leave the area because there is now a lack of resources (food : the tree once provided food) and there is pollution in the air ...
