Stage(s): Infant, Toddler, Preschool

Why We Love It:

Hippos-Go-Berserk

Good luck finding a funnier, rhyming counting book than this Sandra Boynton classic. The rich visual detail combined with the consistent rhyming pattern will keep your child’s interest and attention for every reading of this short, colorful board book. A great early concept book for teaching counting, number sense and rhyme..

Title: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Author: Bill Martin Jr.

Illustrator: Eric Carle

Stage(s): Infant, Toddler, Preschool

Why We Love It:

Brown-Bear

Repetitive lines help children remember and become active participants during read-aloud time. And when the simple line,” …what do you see? I see a …looking at me.” is repeated on every page, it won’t take long before your child is chiming in. First published in 1967, this classic concept book features a bouncy rhyming repetition that has sparked three similarly popular concept books. Eric Carle’s colorful tissue-paper collage allows children to focus on the animal and its color.
