Does A Kangaroo Have A Mother Too

Description

"Yes! A kangaroo has a mother. Just like me and you. Does a lion have a mother, too?" This hardcover edition is written and illustrated by Eric Carle. Do animals have mothers, too? Of course they do, just like me and you! Meet the little joey, whose kangaroo mother carries him in her pouch. See the cygnet riding on the back of the mother swan. Colorful collages of animal babies with their caring and affectionate mothers offer small readers visual delight as well as comforting reassurance. This book is a great book to read as a goodnight book - to soothe your baby to bed.

Why we love it

We love this toddler book because the playful question and answer text invites children and adults to read aloud together. Repetition of key phrases helps preschoolers take the first step toward reading readiness. And the game like format makes it easy and fun to discover more about the world of nature and to learn the common names of some familiar (and some not so familiar) animals. A bonus page at the back of the book lists the correct but sometimes surprising names of animal babies, their parents, and groups. Eric Carle is the creator of many beloved picture books for very small children. Here he offers a beautiful way for parents and children to share the knowledge that love crosses all boundaries and ties all creatures on this earth together. Obviously this toddler book makes a great gift...collect all of his classics!

Product Features

• A great way to spend quality time with your child is reading to them and this should begin when they are infants.
• Exposing children to books at this young age is the first step to peaking their future interest in reading.
• Rhyming, recognizing first sounds in words, and syllable awareness are all phonemic awareness skills your child has before they are ready to start reading.
• We do not often think of reading when it comes to our toddlers, but they start hearing about the ABCs in songs and begin gaining letter recognition starting at around 2 years of age.
• Most children will begin to read between the ages of 5-6 years. But before they can read they need to gain the foundation of pre-reading skills.
