Encourages participation & teaches children animal names 
Some very young children may associate the words with the sounds that animals make Great for pre-readers as limited text. Not ideal for those who like text in a book. Great information book for young children None Entertaining, great illustrations, appeals to children for a number of years Seasonal, so loses appeal outwith the festive season Nice story Interactive without the need for batteries. A little heavy for small hands.Bobbsey Twins: The Bobbsey Twins' Adventure in the Country - Laura Lee Hope
traditional childhood values reinforced, engaging characters and storylines some poor quality reprints so be wary of the version you buy
