As you might have noticed, The Book Blog is on hiatus.
If you are interested in stopping here for book suggestions, please send an email to:
kelseyjane@hotmail.com
Include "Book Blog" in the subject and tell me you are interested in visiting the blog on a semi-regular basis.
If I receive a significant amount of requests (more than 10) I will get things rolling again. It just takes too much time to keep it up if no one is reading!!!

Can You?
Can You Peck Like a Hen?-by Jez Alborough
Can You Jump Like a Kangaroo?-by Jez Alborough
These fun Alborough titles invite your child to move like various animals and have the added bonus of being pop-up books. What's not to like? Have fun mimicking the animals over and over again.
Pair these books with a trip to the zoo. You could snap some digital photos of the animals and place them alongside photos of your child impersonating the animals to make your own animal action book.

From Head to Toe
From Head to Toe -by Eric Carle
On each page of this book you'll find a different animal performing a different action. Each page also features a child performing the same action. Children reading along will want to hop right up and act like gorillas, flamingos, and more. From Head to Toe is a great book for building awareness/naming different body parts, as well as learning animals.
