Did you know that friendships help children to develop social and emotional skills? As these friendships grow, they are further taught skills such as cooperation, sharing, and empathy, among others. A must-have book for 0-3-year-olds, this baby board book is a lovely and simple introduction to friendships, forests, and the array of interesting animals that live there. The charming and captivating illustrations by Sue Downing truly bring these adorable forest animals to life, which is a crucial feature that sets this book apart from its competitors.
The simple text will help encourage a child’s language and vocabulary development, even prompting their first words! Furthermore, understanding the world is one of the seven areas of learning of the EYFS framework, and an understanding of the world develops as children are introduced to places and all the things within them such as trees and animals in the natural environment, so this book can help to support a child’s early learning development. Helping children connect with nature creates future generations who are conscious of the need to protect our trees and forests too.
The perfect storybook for children aged 0-3 with an interest in forest animals, or adults who are looking for an adorable first baby book to share with their children, and teach their little ones about kindness and friendships.
