Listen to the Seaside

Press a button on the page and the sound of breaking waves or a calling gull answers, which is how Listen to the Seaside works. Marion Billet illustrates a series of coastal scenes, each carrying its own sound button, so a toddler can match a picture to the noise that belongs with it. The buttons sit inside thick board pages, positioned where small fingers naturally land. Linking an image to a sound is early classification work, and it holds attention far longer than a silent page does. Nosy Crow produces the title within a sound-book series aimed at babies and preschoolers, and the coastal subject suits families heading for a holiday near water. What to expect on the page: • Coastal scenes each paired with its own sound button • Audio keyed directly to what appears on the page • Buttons positioned within easy reach of a toddler's grip • Board pages solid enough for daily repeat use A good pick for toddlers, preschoolers and families preparing for a trip to the coast, this Nosy Crow sound book is available at Boipoka.
