This Valentine's Day book is filled with rhymes and pictures of various objects. The pictures of various objects go together with the rhymes. You read the rhyme on one page and then you find the objects mentioned in it on the next page. There is so much that can be learned by reading through these books.
There is so much to be learned with this books. The various objects in the pictures are helpful in teaching children word association. After you are through finding the objects in the rhymes you can look through the pictures and point out other objects that you may want your child to find. Hopefully your child will repeat the objects back to you and help work on increasing their vocabulary.
I recommend this book for any parent looking for a fun book/activity for their child to share with them. There is so much to be learned by reading these books with your child.
