This story teaches young childern about friendship and caring.
"Los Pollitos Dicen," or "Little Chickies Squeal" is one of the
most popular songs in the Spanish speaking world, akin to "Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star" in English. This English adaptation of the
song is as catchy and lyrical as the Spanish version and sure to
engage new audiences not familiar with the original song. The song
is an homage to the demanding nature of babies and the
unconditional love, care, and warmth given to them by their
mommies.
Sing-Along Play and Learn - Ideal for encouraging babies, toddlers and young children to join in with activities, and to introduce them to the joy of rhyme, these classic favourites will be sure to delight your child and ignite a love of sing-along songs. Age 1 - 3
This playful collection of poems--peppered with an astounding
variety of animal sounds--is meant to be read aloud together. These
poems for two or more voices explore the myriad sounds animals
make--from a frog's jug-o-rum to a fish's boom! to an elephant's
bark. Laced with humor, the poems are a delight to read aloud and
cover all major classes of animals: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles,
amphibians, insects, even a crustacean! Readers will learn how to
estimate the temperature by counting a cricket's chirps and see how
creatures make sounds at specific pitches and frequencies, so that
they can be heard despite other noise around them. Extensive end
notes provide more information on the animals and how and why they
make the sounds they do. Written by noted children's poet Georgia
Heard, this is an ideal collection for parents and children to
share, or for a fun, interactive classroom read-aloud.

Soothe little ones to sleep with this beautiful board book featuring a
sweetly illustrated and tender lullaby first composed by Holocaust
survivor, Dr. Lena Allen-Shore for her son, Jacques, and then adapted
further by them for this children’s book.
Sleep, my baby, my lovely baby
I wish you good night.
The stars are smiling
they say to you
be happy all your life.
Author, teacher, and poet, Dr. Lena Allen-Shore made her mark on the
world in innumerable ways, but she made the most endearing and enduring
mark on her sons by singing “Sleep, My Baby” to them as they drifted
off to bed each night. This extended version of the original, written
by both Dr. Shore and her son Jacques, celebrates mothers all over the
world and shares the universal messaging of hope, peace, and love as
children are gently lulled to sleep knowing they are safe, sound, and
protected from harm.

A delightfully fun, fact-filled planetary tale from the creator of
the Baby University series! Travel around the solar system and
celebrate what makes each planet unique! From Neptune to Mercury
and all the planets in between, each one is different and each one
is happy to be what they are. Old slow Neptune looks a bit behind.
Orbiting the Sun takes an awful long time. But the 8th little
planet doesn't need to worry. It spins on its axis in a really big
hurry! Vibrant, joyful art, playful verse, and a fun die-cut shape
are sure to have astronomers of all ages celebrating their own
uniqueness while they party with the planets.
This charming series has been specifically designed for babies. A
great introduction to books through well-known nursery rhymes and
interactive text. Singing songs and rhymes is the perfect way to
bond with your baby and share quality time. It also aids language
development by introducing them to the natural sounds and patterns
of speech. Combining these with actions also stimulates the brain
and helps muscle development.
This beautifully illustrated book for children tells the story of a
child and a dog going for a walk, told from the dog's point of view
in an easy-reading rhythmical style. As explained by Worzel, an
enormous Lurcher with `issues,' new experiences can be very scary
for him, although he really, really does want to go on exciting
walks. The original and engaging illustrations will delight
children and adults, as well as educate, showing them the secret
language of dogs, and will help children learn how to walk dogs in
a safe and responsible way. The information presented in this book
is endorsed by dog trainers, parents and teachers alike, and would
be an essential addition to every classroom, library and children's
bookshelf.
Roll over and give mouse more room! The classic counting rhyme is
brought to life by a bedful of charming animals, as they snuggle
down to sleep. Once they've all rolled over, who'll be left with
the bed to themselves?
Reading Time is a high-contrast fold-out book that offers parents
the opportunity to exercise their baby's body and brain while
enjoying some special together time. Like Tummy Time (BookTrust's
Book Start Pick for 2021), the book opens out and stands up in
front of newborns during the all-important tummy time, a practice
encouraged by healthcare professionals because it prevents flat
spots on the back of a baby's head, and encourages them to use
muscles needed for rolling, sitting and crawling. However, these
early months are also when a baby's brain is developing faster than
at any other time in their lives. Reading together is proven to
accelerate language and literacy, giving children a head start in
life. The book has bold black-and-white images with splashes of
colour for a baby's developing vision. The images are some of the
first words children learn to say, such as cat, car, book and
teddy, so it serves as a first words book, but it also has a
soothing, rhythmical nursery rhyme based on "I see the moon, the
moon sees me" which babies will love to hear their loved ones read.
And there is mirror at the end to personalise the shared reading
experience - "I see Mummy/Daddy/Grandpa" - as they look in the
mirror together. So go on. Read to your newborn. It's good for
them! 0 to 9 months, printed on FSC board
In this version of the classic song, the wheels go round, the wipers go swish, the driver says "Tickets Please!" and so on, all around the town. Features die-cut pages.
