5.0 out of 5 stars Reading combined with play, April 14, 2003

This review is from: In the Forest: A Nature Trail Book (Maurice Pledger Nature Trails) (Hardcover)

Our 16 month old loves the Pledger books. While we read, she lifts the flaps and touches the variety of rough/smooth/furry surfaces. She probably has 50 other books, but she knows what she likes and at bedtime, points to the Pledger books on the shelf and begs us to read them (in "toddler-ese"). While the book description identifies this as a book for 4-8 year olds, I think much younger kids can benefit from this series. One note: we never leave these books alone with our daughter, her enthusiasm for them has resulted in a few torn flaps and pages!

4.0 out of 5 stars In the Forest, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Forest: A Nature Trail Book (Maurice Pledger Nature Trails) (Hardcover)

In the Forest is a good educational book for a wide age span of children. In addition to tactile stimulation, one can learn about animals, colors, numbers and counting, and seek and find. My 15-month-old daughter has been enjoying this book since age 6 months, developing from learning to touch and feel, to finding hidden creatures, and learning animal names and sounds. She now loves to lift the flaps, too. I highly recommend this book for children of any age. While the written content of the book is geared more towards a pre-school age, there are definitely things for younger children to learn and enjoy as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars My baby loves these books!, January 10, 2006

This review is from: In the Forest: A Nature Trail Book (Maurice Pledger Nature Trails) (Hardcover)

We have three of these books. The other two we have are "In the Ocean", and "In the Rain Forest". The rain forest and forest ones are her favorite and she isn't even one year old yet. I give a lot of credit to these books because they are the only things that can keep her still for a long period of time. They have been life savers on airplane rides. I believe they have also encouraged her early love of books.
