Book Description

Age Level: 2 and up | Series: First Discovery

This innovative new FIRST DISCOVERY LOOK-IT-UP board book about how animals move features a "pictorial tab index" that allows even the youngest child to "look up" the subject of interest to them.

Animals, one of the most popular topics in early childhood curriculum, comes to life in this sturdy board book that allows even the youngest child to "look it up". With die-cut tabs running down the right-hand margin, toddlers can point to the picture of an animal that appeals to them, then turn to that spread and find out interesting facts through easy-to-understand captions and photo-realistic paintings. Ingenious formats are the hallmark of First Discovery, and First Discovery Look-It-Up: ANIMALS ON THE MOVE is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent beginner book, June 10, 2002

This review is from: Look-it-up: Animals On The Move (First Discovery) (Board book)

This sturdy and attractive board book bills itself as "a first reference book for toddlers and preschoolers." Although most people don't think of board books as a format for reference, this is exactly what Scholastic has done here. The book is divided into flaps that depict images of animals. A child can easily choose a picture and turn directly to that particular entry. Each section lists a verb, such as "crawl", "run", "swim", etc., and gives examples of three animals that the verb is applied to. The lifelike illustrations match the text beautifully. Recommended for ages 2-6.

This review is from: Look-it-up: Animals On The Move (First Discovery) (Board book)

My daughter, who is almost two, loves this book and asks me to read it to her every night. The repetitious text, the wonderful illustrations, and the tabs on the side that lead to each kind of animal movement fascinate her. This is a great way to introduce your child to the idea that books can contain fun information about our world.
