Jasmine's Place Issue No. 3 - January/February 2013 | Page 22

REVIEWS Children’s Book Club Books introduce children to vocabulary, help them speak, introduce them to concepts that they might never come into direct contact with in their early years. It’s very unlikely your child will meet a lion walking along the road as you go to your local shops , but lions, zebras, monkeys, bears and more abound in children’s books! Your child may have been to a zoo or the rain forest, travelled to far flung places, ridden in a train or flown in a plane long before he/she may experience those concepts/places in real life. Books stretch their imagination and that’s what we want, isn’t it? On the following few pages, you will find reviews of some great early learning board books, which are sturdy books made with hard paper card that are perfect for little inquisitive hands or teeth as the case may be! Enjoy! JASMINE'S PLACE 22
