Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Down on the farm there are many colorful and noisy animals to spy and we see most of them in Edward Gibb’s picture\u00a0book, I Spy on the Farm<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>A peep hole with a glimpse into a farm animal along with a teeny, tiny clue\u00a0helps us guess which animal will appear on the next page!\u00a0This book is boldly illustrated with simple text and delights with the element of surprise.\u00a0 It makes a great read aloud or lap read and can easily be shortened to fit an infant’s\u00a0attention span.<\/p>\n

Charlie Chick<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> is one of the few popup books we have in our collection.\u00a0 It’s premise is simple – Charlie the chick loves to eat and we see what that does for his tummy, beak and feet!\u00a0 But of course, if Charlie is big, his mommy is even bigger!\u00a0 A fun, interactive read that appeals to infants and toddlers with it’s three-dimensional moving parts and it’s big pull out surprise at the end.<\/p>\n

This Little Cow<\/strong><\/p>\n
