What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward and neutral exploration of sounds.
Ideal Reader
A 2-year-old in the midst of a language explosion who loves to mimic sounds and point at pictures. It is also perfect for a 3-year-old who enjoys interactive reading and is beginning to categorize things in their environment. This book is for the sensory-focused, pre-narrative learner.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; this book can be read cold. The only prep for a parent is to be ready to be silly, make the sounds with enthusiasm, and encourage their child to join in. The experience is enhanced by the parent's active participation. The parent's toddler has started pointing at things and making their sounds, for example, saying 'woof' at a dog or 'choo choo' at a train. The parent is looking for a book to support and expand on this budding linguistic and observational skill.
