My First Book of Farm Animals. Montessori: A World of Achievements

* Part of the Montessori: Touch and Feel board book series * Children are encouraged to interact independently with the book * Suitable for ages 3 years and up The idea behind the board book collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 3 years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text, since touching and picture reading are the primary means of interpretation.
