Giddy-up! Let's Go!

By Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz

Part of the Babsy B Board Book Series, Giddy-up! Let's Go! is designed to suit the interests and cognitive development of children ages 3+ (Toddler 3s). Toddler 3s are adventure seekers, eager to dress up, go places, and do things. The attire of the character in this story adds to and encourages imagination and suspense for both the reader and the stuffed animal. Toddler 3s like a sense of being "in charge," and Giddy-up! Let's Go! provides just that: The story's character takes charge in knowing where they're going while also being in charge of a mysterious quiz presented to a stuffed toy--and to the reader! Toddler 3s who feel emerging independence may also notice how the character appears in charge of the adult! Readers can identify with the character's impatience while waiting. Toddler 3s' developed appreciation for details will help children point out picture clues that help to answer questions posed by the character. This book's pictures and text suggest additional topics of conversation, inviting the reader to talk about his or her own experiences about being in charge; animals he or she has seen; the fun and purpose of clowns and where one might see a clown; what a rodeo is and where one might visit a rodeo; how to give directions; or kinds of vehicles and modes of transportation people use to go places. Whether read aloud or sung to an original tune, Giddy-up! Let's Go! offers three-year-olds all sorts of opportunities to interact with others, both real and imaginary. The Babsy B Board Book Series includes eight books, two titles for each age category. Each book has its own catchy tune along with suggested additional book-related, engaging activities--all designed to appeal to the particular developmental milestones of children ages 0-3+. Other books in the Babsy B Board Book Series include: SO BIG!; Where Is Monkey?; I Can! Can You?; Who Chews?; VROOM! Honk-a! BOOM!; Whose Shoes?; and I'm 3!
