Toddlers love looking at pictures of animals, and they will find plenty of them in here! This soft-to-touch board book encourages small children to talk and to learn about the wide variety of wild animals that live in Canada. Canada is a huge country, covering a range of different habitats - from the frozen north, home to the blubbery walrus, the cute Arctic fox and the fearsome polar bear, to lush woodland, where the antlered moose, the mighty grizzly bear and the agile bobcat can be found. The book's strong, dramatic pictures, and informative and entertaining point-and-say style encourage word skills and recognition. It is specially designed for youngsters and adults to enjoy together, with a wipe-clean cover and sturdy board pages. Visually interesting, enjoyable to use and built to last, this is a wonderful introduction to the worlds of words and wildlife. Experts agree that preschool children respond more immediately to photographs than to illustrations. This book is visually appealing, designed for preschoolers to enjoy and to learn from. They can see a mountain lion looking for prey, a massive humpback whale rearing up out of the ocean, a Canada goose flying through the air, and two fluffy Arctic hares in the ice and snow. Meanwhile, the parent, guardian or teacher can point to and repeat the simple captions. Explore the diversity of Canadian creatures with this special padded boardbook.
