"Let's Go Visiting" is the delightful to sequel to "I Went Walking". Even though they are both simple stories, the story in "Let's Go Visiting" differs from "I Went Walking". Having both books won't leave children or their parents bored with the same story from these repetitive sentence books. "Let's go visiting. What do you say?" brings in baby farm animals, ready to play! This book utilizes counting to six and teaches the names for the baby farm animals (kittens, piglets, calves). The wonderful illustrations are active and create their own story, complimenting the simplicity of the text. Although this book is recommended as a read aloud for babies through toddlers, I would also include it as an independent reader for kindergarten and first grades.

My daughter cut her front teeth on her board book edition of I Went Walking. It was the book that had to go everywhere with us, the book that I had to buy twice. So it was a natural when Lets Go Visiting came out that we had to get a copy. The good thing with the hardcover edition is that it's very large and my daughter, now two, has a great time counting all the brightly colored animals. She cant get enough of the rhyming story and all the different animalsthis time, they are baby animals. Her favorites are the little black kittens. The bad thing about the hardcover version is that it doesnt stand up as well to all her love as the board book pages in "I Went Walking" do. The pages are taped and she cant teeth on it (though not for lack of trying.) So maybe soon theyll come out with the board book editionuntil then, well keep buying another book when shes loved the older one to bitsand keep on attempting to show her how to take care of her books.

Book was bought for granddaughter's birthday present to her daycare. Every 2 year old there was excited to recieve books.
