This week JDaniel had read Animals Talk and Animals Go by Emily Bolam. These beautiful board books don’t contain a lot of print. Each animal has a single word they would say in Animals Talk. The Animals Go book contains a single word for what each animal would do. They don’t actually show the animal moving or talking. These leaves open the avenue for you to talk about the words and act them out for them or with them. The page opposite each animal has a great textured page that displays the animals covering. JDaniel loves to feel those pages.
I modeled for JDaniel how to make a crayon rubbing on the peacock page.
JDaniel and I worked on the snail and lizard page together. This was so much fun.

I think my son would really like these…Happy SITS day!
Very fun – our 3 year old would love this activity; he’s so cute saying he’s learned how to “read.”
Following from Mom Loop.

I already follow, but I popped over from Mom Loop. I love textured books. Even the twins, who are just 1, love to feel the textures of the pages.

I have 20 month old twin girls, they love to scribble, these books would be right on time for them. Visiting from the Mom Loop! 😉
Hello again,
I’m stopping by from the Mom Loop Comment Follow Friday… That is long. LOL!
Those single word board books are excellent language learning tools; I used them for my twins who were speech delayed because of an early delivery… and they learned a lot faster because the focus was easier. I already follow you. Do follow back.
Best,
Eliz
Those look like great books- love that they are integrating tactile sensation into the story! How fun!
