Book review:”C’est un petit livre”

In French, from 1yo. Board book.

What is this object? What is a book? Do we wear it on the head? Is it edible? Is it a roof? Can we sit on it?

Little Donkey has no idea what a book is for. His friend the Monkey will tell him everything about books.

Very sweet and funny story in a perfect format to be handled by little readers’ hands.

Book review:’A dormir!’

In Spanish, from 6m. Board book.

This colorful and tactile book helps dispel any apprehensions toddlers may have about bedtime by familiarizing them with the nightly routine. Sturdy pages feature finger trails that children can follow, flaps to lift, and different textures they can feel as they learn about standard bedtime routines such as putting on pajamas, brushing teeth, and reading a bedtime story. This is a perfect resource to help kids wind down at the end of a busy day.
