Customer Reviews

great for language development

I'm a speech-language pathologist and find this book very useful with kids from 3 years of age to 8 or 9 years. It's a great resource to practise using attributes, using critical thinking skills to answer questions, developing vocabulary, and using categorization skills. The 24 animal pictures are also great to use without the book - as stimulus cards for a boardgame activity or a sorting task etc. Even really young children can practise matching skills by putting each animal with its matching pair on the large fold-out back page.

great for toddlers

This is a fun book for toddlers who are in the put in take things out stage. Our two-year-old loves this book. It is one of the best books we have ever gotten for her. She loves to take the animals out of there holds and place them in the different pockets. The only problem with the book is that it is not too durable, but that might be because my daughter is constantly playing with it.
