Pretty parrots, green and blue. Talking, squawking...we count two. | At the Zoo: 1 Black Bear, 10 Hairy Wart Hogs
As a curious boy and his equally eager grandfather walk through the gates of the zoo, the reader is introduced to numbers, animals and their habits, and a rich array of rhymes and action words. A book that is both fun to read aloud and packed with so many opportunities to learn, Two at the Zoo, is the kind of book we love to offer in the program.
Learn more about the growling, prowling, toddling and waddling to be found in this great board book. Raising Readers is now distributing this book at the 18 month well child visit. |
