Noisy ABC: A noisy introduction to first words (My First)
by Beth Hamilton, Tiger Tales (Compiler)

5 out of 5 stars

This ABC board book has sound buttons to push for a recording of a woman’s voice saying, “B is for Ball” or “Z is for Zipper”. Each page is full of colorful photos of animals and objects that begin with the letters of the alphabet.

This is such a cute book! I think that little kids will be excited that they can learn their ABCs and enjoy this book on their own. Kids will be delighted to be “reading” a book by themselves without help!

Our Incredible Library Book [and the wonderful journeys it took]
by Caroline Crowe, John Joseph (Illustrated by)

5 of 5 stars

A library book takes a journey from reader to reader as different children check it out from the library. Some children read it when they are sick in bed. Some children spill their hot chocolate on it a little. The book gets wet from being splashed in the rain or in the bathtub. Children read it with their grandparents, parents, friends, and siblings. They even read it out loud to their pets. One child reads the book backwards! Through all of the different children who borrow the book, they share their love of reading.
