Leo and
I both love a good book, one with bright images and plenty to keep Leo
stimulated and interested.
He will
bring up books of his choosing these days and hop up on the sofa so we can have
a little bit of quiet time and to read a book together. Leo is still at an age
where they can’t be too wordy as he loses interest and starts flipping the
pages backward and forward so that I cannot carry on reading to him.
Leo much
prefers to flick through the book himself and study the images intently. That
is why I am a big fan of cardboard books with big chunky pages, as Leo is not
the most gentle toddler when it comes to turning over a page at 100mph. I have
witnessed a few casualties when it comes to paper back books and Leo, I try my
hardest to keep those kind of books out of his reach until we can sit down
together and read them.
Leo has
been sent a lovely selection of Little Learners books, each that has their own
unique quality that keeps Leo by my side and taking every little bit in. His
favourite out of the 3 books we have been looking at is ‘Twinkle Twinkle’.
Twinkle
Twinkle is unique in the sense that is has both light and sound aspects that
you can activate by pressing the buttons along the top. The buttons are easy
for Leo to press and reward him with twinkling sounds and of course the tune of
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. As the sounds play there is a red light that
flashes around the buttons.
Another
book out of our lovely selection is the Little Learners Hickory Dickory Dock
Finger Puppet book. It is a lovely sized book with a little mouse coming right
out of the front, a mouse that you can bring to life by merely wiggling your
finger through the back of the book to make him move. Leo loved how the mouse
was coming to get him and loved the simple story.
When we
read this book Leo always says ‘tick, tock, tick, tock’ as we very regularly
sing this nursery rhyme together.
The
final book is called My Day and is a touch and fee book. It has a great range of different sensations from the soft baby's blanket to the bumpy ball. It takes you through your daily routine with simple text and lovely bright illustrations.
Each of the Little Learner books has lovely thick cardboard pages which are perfect for little hands who are still learning to be gentle. The textures, lights, sounds and puppetry each bring the books to life in their own special way and shows what a wide selection of different books that they have available.
Leo and I both give the Little Learners range a big thumbs up and our pleased to have them on our book shelf.
Here is a little clip of Leo and Daddy having a read through the My Day book, Leo is a big fan of the little Yellow duck in the bath tub!
