Seven Hungry Babies by Candace Fleming and illustrated by Eugene Yelchin, is a hit in our house. Its a fun summer read as baby birds hatch from their eggs, and are of course VERY HUNGRY. Lucky for them Mamma Bird is ready and waiting to feed them, one by one by one by one...Until exhausted Mamma Bird has seven full sleeping chicks and ready to relax herself. But of course there's no chance of that as the babies awake, ready for more food. But don't worry this is one smart Mamma Bird!
This book had us giggling and counting up the sleeping chicks versus the chicks still needing fed. It's a great read to introduce early math concepts of counting, adding and subtracting. Cartoon illustrations accompany the text and are vibrant and fun. They will definitly will hold your little one's attention.
Looks like a good book! I'm hopping in from iFellowship btw! :D

ReplyDeleteI love your review of children's books. Last year at my calligraphy guild's last mtg of the year, I inadvertently picked up an art book that had been written for adults (really) in children's format--anyway, they loved the book so much that I was asked to read them another book this year. So tomorrow I will be reading, "Love You Forever"--one of my all-time favorites. I can never get enough of children's books--I guess I am a child at heart! Thanks for sharing all of these.
