Having
raised two children of our own and now baby-sitting a one year old grandson my
wife and I pride ourselves on knowing what it takes to raise children.
By
far one of the most important things to teach children involve books.
When
dealing with small tykes it is important to select books that contain large and
colorful illustrations and minimal text.
Kids
0 to 3 years old are developing their cognitive skills during this time period
and it is imperative that books challenge both the visual and auditory skills
of children.
Author/artist Hilary Leung and Scholastic Books recognize how
critical it is to teach children beginning at an early age.
Leung recently released two books that fill
the criteria mentioned above.
Both books are small, hardbound volumes with
thick pages making it easy for young children to hold and turn pages.
Both books are durable, easily cleaned and
perfect for small kids.
Will Bear
Share?
and Will Sheep Sleep? contain
delightful and colorful illustrations accompanied by short, direct text that
make it possible for children to follow along.
Ask any parent and they’ll tell you children
tend to have short attention spans. Both
books address this issue by offering concise, to-the-point, simplified text and
primary and secondary colorful illustrations that immediately draw young
children’s attention.
Sleep and sharing are subjects young kids
easily identify with and the books make both concepts easy to understand.
