MY TIDBITS
My daughter flipped when she saw these two books, although she is older than the suggested age group, immediately laid claim to both. And they are cute.
Created for the youngest reader, these books add a fun embellishment to the usual story-telling fun. The books themselves are sturdy with thick pages to suit small hands. The finger puppet is so soft and cuddly and invites to touch and play. I was happy to see that the puppets' necks are quite long and poke through with enough room to easily move the head around in all directions on every page. The head is fastened nicely to the back page, ensuring hours of fun without fear of instant breakage. And the hole as well as the puppet are spacious for even thicker fingers. In other words, it's practically made/
The book itself is cute. Each page is bright and colorful, which fits to the huge smile on the puppets' faces. While the illustrations are relatively simple, there's still enough details to make it clear what's going on...and they create a lovely background for the puppets to 'play'. The purpose of these books is to also let young listeners learn just a little bit more about the animals presented. These aren't tough facts but simply a light, general glimpse at things such as what the animals eats or where they sleep. Each 'fact' is presented in a very simple sentence, perfect for the intended age group. I found the combination sweet and loved how a tiny, itsy bit of knowledge is delivered in such a fun, playful way.
These two are definitely getting big thumbs up from us.
