A three or four-year-old who is currently in a 'mine' phase or a preschooler who is beginning to explore basic counting and the concept of 'half' or 'equal' parts.
Parent Prep
No prep required. The book can be read cold. The repetitive nature makes it an excellent candidate for child participation during the read-aloud.
