It's no secret that around here we love books. Especially adorable little board books with fun cutouts. The Silver Dolphin Amazing Baby books are no exception.
I was fortunate enough to be asked to review Five Little Ducks!
and Rainbow Fun!
Both of which have become instant favorites in our home.
Five Little Ducks! is a cute little story that every mom can relate to on some level. A mama calls and her little ducks don't always come back. Each page one more duck goes missing. Of course at the end they all come back, safe and sound, much to everyone's delight.
This book is great for budding little counters. Each page represents a number and multiple opportunities to count it - flowers, ducks, cutouts! The last page features all the little ducklings and a fuzzy worried mama that toddlers can pat for comfort.
Budding readers will appreciate the simple text and the fact that the relevant numbers are bolded for easy spotting.
Rainbow Fun! focuses on teaching children the colors of the rainbow. (OK, if we're going to be picky, the book explores primary and secondary colors rather than the actual colors of the rainbow since it uses the words blue and purple instead of indigo and violet, but whatever.) Each page features a different color and sweet little characters that will keep your child entertained. The last page rewards you with a sparkling rainbow and all the friends that you've made along the way.
Once again, budding readers will be able to easily spot the bolded names of the colors.
Amazing Baby Books Pros:
- Bright, colorful, chunky little board books that are sure to find a welcome home on your shelf.
- At $5.95 per book these are more affordable than many board books on the market.
- Educational books that will grow with your child and entertain toddlers and preschoolers both.
Amazing Baby Books Cons:
-Five Little Ducks! brought out the panicky mommy in me. Why are these duckies disappearing without anyone going out after them? In the end everything is fine, but it does make you wonder who cared for them while they were gone. (I might need to get out more. That's entirely possible.)
-Rainbow Fun! doesn't have a running story, each page can stand alone, so it's not a given that your child will sit through the whole book. But, then again, what ever guarantees that a toddler will listen to the end of a story?
In conclusion, next time you're looking for a sweet little board book as a gift or for your own little one you should definitely snap these guys up!

I think that the Hello Baby book looks great, not only do you get to play peek-a-boo, but there are other babies incorporated into the book, what a fun way to learn!

My son would LOVE the Amazing Baby Peekaboo Puppy book by Beth Harwood & Emma Dodd. It looks so cute and he just loves "dog-dogs." They have a LOT of really cute books!

101 Things to Make and Do with Jewels by Samantha Chagollan is great. Chloe likes to decorate her clothes and I think it will be great for her to learn how to spark her stuff with jewels.

This week DD-2.5's favorite book is Little Hoot by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Jen Corace. Little Hoot just wants to go to bed like all his friends, but must stay up late to become a wise owl. Gotta love reverse psychology!
ReplyDeleteMy toddler loves anything with a baby in it these days, but my boys would go crazy over "Journal of Invention: Leonardo da Vinci"!
ReplyDeleteGoognight Moon is the weekly favorite pretty much every week!

My 2 year old has been obsessed with The Very Hungry Caterpillar book lately! All 3 of my boys at one point adored it!
ReplyDeleteOur all-time favorite is Goodnight Moon, but lately we've also been thrilled with Sandra Boynton's "But Not the Hippopotamus" :)
ReplyDeleteRight now my daughter's favorite book is Moo Baa La La La (boynton).

None of my kids have a favorite book...they all LOVE to be read to and the ones that can read (the 5 and 7 yr old) love to read.
ReplyDeleteThose books are great. Perfect for your babies.
