Who’s Next?

Blog, See Inside the Books - Titles Beginning with W, ,
This delightful and engaging book asks toddlers to guess which animal will appear next based on a tiny glimpse or hint of tail in the right-hand corner of each double-page spread. Once they’ve turned the page to see if they’ve reasoned correctly, it’s then up to the child to discover who’s left the page.
Observational skills, basic deduction and reasoning, as well as concepts such as colors and familiarity with adjectives and adverbs, are all reinforced in Who’s Next? A game, an opportunity for discussion and learning, laughter and hours of fun are all inside.

A Year In My Life

See Inside the Books - Titles Beginning with A, , ,

A kids’ journal quite unlike any other, this beautifully illustrated book invites children to record a year of their life by filling in the 365 quirky drawing and writing activities—one for every day of the year. Activities are fun, quick—so no excuse to miss any days!—and imaginatively offbeat, so journalers might be invited to “Draw a scene that happened today, but give the people animal heads” or “Write down every feeling you remember feeling today” or simply just “Sum up today in a single word.”

At the end of the 365 days, children will end up with an amusing, creative, and offbeat record of a year in their life to treasure in years to come.

Ages: 9-13
