Little Goat. Playing at the Farm cover

A many-sided board book providing toddlers with a lot of fun. For little nature researchers ages 30 months and up, with a focus on language development. Little Goat is out having adventures on the farm. Now she’s lost and Mommy Goat has to find her. Also, there are new animals coming to the farm. And can Little Goat and friends help Little Cat to get out of the tree? With each of those three farm stories comes a large picture-puzzle and a funny puzzle you can solve together.

"The images are bright and eye-catching and there are endless opportunities for interaction between the reader and the child. This would make a great book to begin a transition to independent reading as well since kids will be able to repeat the activities on their own after several repetitions with a reader. Animal and color identification are covered, as well as comprehension/"what happened" questions and imaginative/"what if?" prompts. There are also multi-sensory exercises (tracing a path with a finger, etc.) that could be useful to kids with divergent language processing methods. Aside from being a great read-with-me book, this would be a great addition to a classroom bookshelf or a reading specialist's collection. " - BookWorks "Using photo icons interspersed throughout each sentence, this book is designed like an app and is designed like a literacy game. It’s a fun interactive story. The photo icons will help emerging readers engage in the story independently or with help. They’ll have fun finding the goat in each scene while also learning vocabulary." - Farmville Public Library "Little goat by Marja Baeten helps little ones read along with pictures tucked into the text. Throughout, we also have pages of puzzles and games to play with Annemiek Borsboom's bright, crisp illustrations. A wonderful busy book to add to our bag when going out." - Riverina Regional Library
