About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they want to transform a quiet reading moment into an energetic, sensory-rich experience. It is perfect for those wiggly afternoons when a child needs to burn off a bit of mental energy through vocalization and physical interaction. This delightful board book introduces toddlers to the inhabitants of the polar regions, using clever pull-tabs to bring the animals to life. Beyond the adorable illustrations, the book focuses on building early phonological awareness through onomatopoeia. As you move the tabs together, your child will learn to mimic the 'snap' of a polar bear or the 'quack' of a penguin. It is an ideal choice for building a child's confidence in their own voice while introducing basic concepts of animal behavior and diverse climates in a way that feels like a game.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and entirely focused on nature and play.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is beginning to master verbal imitation and enjoys tactile, cause-and-effect toys. It is perfect for a child who loves 'performing' for their caregiver.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents should be prepared to be silly and dramatic with the animal sounds to get the most out of the experience. A parent might notice their toddler is becoming frustrated with static books or is currently in a 'making noises' phase and needs a constructive outlet for that vocal energy.
