About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a restless or impatient mood, or when you want to ground them in the quiet wonders of the natural world. It is a perfect tool for slowing down and practicing focus through the joy of a hidden-picture search. Katy wants to find a robin, but her journey leads her to discover many other backyard birds first, teaching the valuable lesson that the journey is just as exciting as the destination. This interactive flap book encourages toddlers and preschoolers to look closely and appreciate the diversity of nature. It builds foundational science vocabulary and observation skills while modeling a sense of wonder. Parents will find it especially helpful for transition times, such as preparing for a walk outside or winding down after a busy day by channeling energy into a purposeful search.
