My First Fun Animals Book

Rhyme does the teaching here, with animals turning up in situations odd enough to make a toddler laugh. Suvi Naidoo keeps the text short and rhythmic, which makes it easy to read aloud and easy for a child to join in on the repeated lines. Playful illustrations put familiar creatures into unexpected poses, giving an adult something to point at and talk about on every spread. The board format holds up to the handling a favourite book receives, and the rhymes build listening skills and early vocabulary. Page by page: • Simple rhyming text written to be read aloud • Animals shown in amusing, imaginative situations • Repetition that encourages toddlers to join in • Sturdy board pages for frequent handling For toddlers, parents reading aloud and anyone choosing a first animal book as a gift, written by Suvi Naidoo and stocked by Boipoka.
