Colours (Early Learning Fun) Roger Priddy … Great book for teaching little ones about colours. 10 colours are featured - yellow, green, blue, pink, orange, purple, brown, red, black and white. Baby Peekaboo! Publisher: DK This book will help to teach your little one the concept of 'peek-aboo!‘ Teddy, Ducky, Builder, Owl, Mouse and Octopus are the stars in the book and your little one will find them hiding behind a pretty present, a bath tub, a colourful ball, a yellow digger, a sailing boat and a holey yellow cheese. Each colour is illustrated by between 3 to 4 real world objects and animals, which help to drive home the concept of the colour. So, little ones see the colour 'yellow' for instance illustrated by a yellow banana, yellow duckling, yellow truck and yellow sonflower. It’s an effective book on many different levels. Be warned though, the strawberries in the book look so real, you may need to buy some before you read the book with your toddler! Your little one will learn new words and strengthen his existing vocabulary as the book progresses. With easy to lift sturdy flaps and bright focused illustrations, it is perfect for young children. Peek - a - boo!! JASMINE'S PLACE 23
