Mix and match the front and back of wild animals to produce silly and magnificent new species!
What do you call a cross between a tiger and a zebra? How about an elephant and a hippopotamus? Find out as you flip the pages and create incredible critters and silly animal names. Sturdy board-book pages open to the left and the right for easy manipulation by little hands, and bright, bold animals wait to be mixed up again and again.
This board book is so much fun! Formatted so that pages flip to mix-and-match animal heads and bottoms, little ones will love exploring new combinations.
Hello, World! Weather
Ages 0=3, Available Now
Goodreads
Weather takes children through the seasonal changes in a backyard, allowing them to see how the yard changes throughout the year: on a summer day the flowers are bright and a puppy plays on the green lawn; on a snowy day we see the same yard blanketed with snow; on a windy day the clothesline flaps in the breeze. Children can also have fun pointing to pictures of the different clothing we wear in each type of weather: mittens, hats, rain boots, and more. It’s a perfect way to bring natural science into the busy world of a toddler, where learning never stops.
An introductory look at how weather changes depending on the season. Also explored is the different accessories (clothing, umbrellas, etc) that different seasons might require.
