Toddlers romp through the pages of this wonderful big picture book that covers everything they need to learn and experience. It is divided into sections such as: I Want to Wear a Rainbow (about colours); Monster Recipe (count the ingredients); No! (tantrums); Splish, Splash (about water); and Zzzz (going to sleep). The catchy verses teach essential pre-reading skills, helping children to listen, concentrate, think for themselves, memorize and predict. The colourful pictures will encourage them to run and jump, dance and sing like the toddlers in the book. Unique in bringing together all the key first concepts in one book, "Calling All Toddlers" is full of energy, fun and a keen understanding of what 1- to 3-year-olds like to look at and hear.
