" ONE BOY
ALL ALONE
TWO SEALS
AT THE SEA"
This small treasure is such a perfect book to share with young children; but especially with those who are just learning to read. Laura Seeger has created one of her trademark books that encourage discovery of language and delight in the way that it works. She begins with one boy, and as the page is flipped, reader and listener discover the cutout feature reveals words which include a word from the previous entry. If you look closely as the quotation above, you will see what I mean.
The colors are bright, the images familiar and the interactive nature of the text is just right for getting kids excited about learning to read, and recognizing that we often find familiar words within new ones. The added bonus is that she has made it a 1-10 counting book.
Brilliantly engineered and an exceptional addition to her growing list of books that I so admire, this lively book provides surefire entertainment and learning for its fans. If you haven't seen other books by this wise author, ask at your school or public library...or check with your local children's bookstore to see what they have in stock. You will not be disappointed...I guarantee it.
