Let's Go Visiting

Summary: A Visit at the Farm
Review: "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.

Summary: "I Went Walking Fans" won't be disappointed
Review: 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 can't get enough of the rhyming story and all the different animals'this time, they are baby animals. Her favorites are the little black kittens. The bad thing about the hardcover version is that it doesn't stand up as well to all her 'love' as the board book pages in "I Went Walking" do. The pages are taped and she can't teeth on it (though not for lack of trying.) So maybe soon they'll come out with the board book edition'until then, we'll keep buying another book when she's loved the older one to bits'and keep on attempting to show her how to take care of her books.
