Wipe Clean: Letters (Wipe Clean Learning Books)
Wipe Clean: Letters (Wipe Clean Learning Books)

Review:This has been a great distraction and practice tool for my 3 year old who has been fascinated by trying to write his name ever since he learned how to spell it. Pages clean up well (no marker residue) and the marker is a good thickness for him to hold onto. I only wish the marker was a little shorter to make it even easier for him, but this is still a great product. Read more

Read-Aloud Rhymes for the Very Young

The relevance of all this to a collection of poetry is demonstrated by the fact that the first sound a child hears is actually a poem--the rhythmic, rhyming beat-beat-beat of a mother's heart. . . . Unlike the toys we buy our children, poems cannot break."

This is a book of rhymes for younger children, by a w... Read more

Steam Train, Dream Train

Review:My boys love Goodnight, Goodnight, construction site. After seeing Stream Train, Dream Train on Amazon they asked for this too. I don't think they will ever love it as much as the first book which has a special place in their heart but they like it enough to ask for it to be read at night. I also took it to the Kindergarten class and the whole class loved the book. Read more

Review:My daughter got this book "for Daddy" on Father's Day. She loves the pictures and, I believe, the constant mention of "daddy." At 18 months old, she is starting to pay attention to the numbers as well as the pictures and story. Read more

The Tiny Seed (The World of Eric Carle)

Review:Buyers, beware of the dimensions. This book is tiny. It is hardcover, but at a TINY 5"x4" you cannot read this book to a whole classroom. Very disappointed when I received it to find out it was not full size. I love the story, though. Read more

A Is for Apple (Trace-and-Flip Fun!) (Smart Kids Trace-And-Flip)
A Is for Apple (Trace-and-Flip Fun!) (Smart Kids Trace-And-Flip)

Review:Kicking myself for not looking at the photos, since I'm normally pretty thorough with reviews. This unfortunately lives up to the saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover." The quality of the book is great, love the large letters, and that it's great for kinesthetic learning. However, I bought this thinking you could trace both the upper and lower case letters as the cover leads you to believe. Only the upper are traceable. Read more
