Caldecott Honor artist David Shannon is back with a third original
board book that features the star of the bestselling No, David
books as a troublemaking toddler and introduces the five senses.
Hey What's that smell? Join David as he discovers the five senses:
touch, hear, see, smell, and taste. From petting the dog to banging
on a drum, David knows how to have a good time. But he also knows
that there's nothing better than playing a game with Mama at the
end of a busy and exciting day. With the same irresistible humor
and vibrant style as his award-winning No, David books, David
Shannon takes us back to the "early years" of his most beloved
character. Perfect for beginning readers as well as for the
youngest children
Explore the wild and wonderful world of animal senses with a
dynamic work of children's nonfiction. Humans experience the world
through sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But what if you
had the compound eyes of a fly, the whiskers of a cat, or a whale's
ability to sense magnetic north? There's a whole world of
surprising senses out there, and fascinating adaptations that have
allowed animals to make use of them. We can't interpret the faint
vibration of an elephant's faraway stomp, but learning how they
keep in touch with family across the wide savannah helps us
understand that we are more alike than different. Featuring
accessible text from Emmanuelle Grundmann, inviting art from
Clemence Dupont, and informational sidebars, a glossary, an index
of animals, and a standard index, When Elephants Listen with their
Feet is a lively nonfiction book that encourages curiosity
about-and respect for-the animals with which we share our planet.
In this brand new lift-the-flap adventure, it's Spot's first day at
nursery - and he can't wait! There are lots of fun activities to
try and games to play with his friends... but when it gets to snack
time, Spot has disappeared! Where has he gone? Toddlers will love
searching for Spot and exploring all the fun of nursery along the
way! This new story is full of the unexpected surprises and gentle
humour that makes the original Where's Spot? a children's classic.
With interactive flaps to train fine motor skills and an adventure
that sparks curiosity and imagination, Find Spot at Nursery is
perfect for early learning and play. Eric Hill's Where's Spot? was
the first ever lift-the-flap book - and his ground-breaking
innovation continues to delight and surprise readers with
interactive fun. Spot has now been a trusted character in early
learning for over 40 years, selling over 65 million books
worldwide. Loved this? Try these: Where's Spot? Find Spot at the

of silliness, and the result is the perfect book for the
toilet-training set (and their parents). Potty Palooza is a fun and
informative step-by-step guide that kids will love to hear read
aloud as they sit on the potty.

successful trip to the bathroom with a potty palooza and stars an
endearing and quirky cast of characters: potty hippos, who gather
when you use too much toilet paper; space aliens, who zoom in to
try to use your potty; a wild elephant; and the Poop Police, who
issue Mom or Dad a ticket for sounding too silly when singing the
Potty Song.
Toddlers will giggle as they learn the answers to all their
questions: Will I fall in? (No, you re way too big.) How often will
I be using the potty? (As often as you feel like you need to poop
or pee.) Is it true that everyone poops, even the president of the
United States? (Yes, everyone poops )
The book also includes fun poop and pee facts, a parents guide
written by a board-certified pediatrician, and a potty chart with
stickers to track progress. It s for every child ready to make a
real bathroom breakthrough."
