Elmer's First Counting Book David McKee Help your child learn how to count with this delightful book. Be advised though, if you would like to do the actions necessary to really enjoy this book, you'll need to do a little exercise! We say this because the book features tigers dancing, monkeys swinging, frogs jumping and rabbits running! However, all that exercise is tempered with periods when you can just laugh with the crocodiles, smile with Elmer and even dream with the lions! So, the author has certainly thought it all through! Lovely book! Go Wild With Noises Neil Layton Mooo...oooo, Miaow...www, Buz...zzz, Roaaarr....rrrr – The author says we should go wild with noises and that's exactly what we're doing! Filled with bright comical illustrations, this book is sure to give you and your little ones a laugh or two. Of course, it's also great for stimulating two-way communication with your child. And if your neighbours give you some funny looks the day after you've read this to your little ones, just tell them you were only doing what Mr Layton said you should do! Oink! Oink! Mooo...ooooOOO!!! JASMINE'S PLACE 24
