Book Reviews of What Your Preschooler Needs to Know: Get Ready for Kindergarten (Core Knowledge)
Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
When this book arrived in the mail, I sat down to thumb through it. My 3 1/2 year old noticed the kids on the cover and came over to see what I was looking at. I read her one of the poems and she was immediately drawn in. She kept asking for more and more. We spent an hour with the book on that first sitting and return to the book with great frequency.
There are illustrations, photographs, paintings, something visual on every page. I've been speaking the rhyming poems to my toddler who enjoys them as well. I am very impressed with this book, will be purchasing the two workbooks and look forward to the books for for each progressing age.
This is exactly what I needed to fill in the gaps of convenient cultural resources.
Summary of What Your Preschooler Needs to Know: Get Ready for Kindergarten (Core Knowledge)
Prepare your child for a lifetime of learning and wonder.Designed for parents to enjoy with children, filled with opportunities for reading aloud and fostering curiosity, this beautifully illustrated read-aloud anthology offers preschoolers the fundamentals they need to prepare for a happy, productive time in school-and for the rest of their lives.
