Ideal Reader
A toddler (12-30 months) who is in the midst of their language explosion. This child loves pointing, mimicking sounds, and is beginning to show a strong interest in animals. It's also perfect for a younger infant who will respond to the soothing, rhythmic text and the parent's enthusiastic vocalizations.
Parent Prep

However, the experience is greatly enhanced when the parent is prepared to read with enthusiasm and perform all the animal sounds with gusto. The book is a vehicle for interaction. The parent has noticed their toddler pointing at a dog and saying "woof" or is trying to make animal sounds for the first time. The parent is looking for a simple, engaging book to encourage this new skill and build vocabulary in a playful way.
