I really enjoyed reading this book and although I live in California, I learned a few things that I didn’t know! I highly recommend this one!
Introduce toddlers to farms and school with Spencer the Cat in adorable new board books
Meet Spencer, a sweet kitten friend who will familiarize babies and toddlers with lots of early vocabulary words! In Spencer on the Farm and Spencer Goes to School (Workman Publishing; on sale; ages 0 to 4; $6.95 each), Spencer embarks on exciting new adventures exploring a farm with his family and attending his very first day of preschool. In an adorable die-cut board book shaped just like him, bright, bold illustrations, simple text, and vocabulary labeled on each page help young readers with language acquisition and reinforcement. In read-along fun as little readers learn along with their new friend.
It’s Spencer’s first day of preschool in Spencer Goes to School, and readers will follow along as he:
· Packs his backpack!
· Meets his teacher.
· Makes new friends.
· Plays on the playground!
Spencer on the Farm introduces readers to Farmer Maddie, a floppy-eared bunny, and her colorful farm. On his trip to the farm, Spencer and his family learn:
· What kinds of animals live on a farm (Pigs! Sheep! Cows!)
· The sounds they make (Oink! Baa! Moo!)
· What kinds of fruits and veggies farmers grow!
As a part-time Preschool Teacher, I highly recommend these books! They will make learning fun!
