In the Forest (Nature Trail Books)

Summary: In the Forest
Review: In the Forest is a good educational book for a wide age span of children. In addition to tactile stimulation, one can learn about animals, colors, numbers and counting, and seek and find. My 15-month-old daughter has been enjoying this book since age 6 months, developing from learning to touch and feel, to finding hidden creatures, and learning animal names and sounds. She now loves to lift the flaps, too. I highly recommend this book for children of any age. While the written content of the book is geared more towards a pre-school age, there are definitely things for younger children to learn and enjoy as well.

Summary: Reading combined with play
Review: Our 16 month old loves the Pledger books. While we read, she lifts the flaps and touches the variety of rough/smooth/furry surfaces. She probably has 50 other books, but she knows what she likes and at bedtime, points to the Pledger books on the shelf and begs us to read them (in "toddler-ese"). While the book description identifies this as a book for 4-8 year olds, I think much younger kids can benefit from this series. One note: we never leave these books alone with our daughter, her enthusiasm for them has resulted in a few torn flaps and pages!
