My Very First Book of Animal Homes

2007

Here are two new split-page board books in the popular series from Eric Carle. In the brilliantly colorful My Very First Book of Animal Homes, children can match each animal with the home it lives in. Where do the bees live? Where does the bird live? In My Very First Book of Animal Sounds, children can match each animal with the sound it makes. Which animal barks? Which animal roars? Only you can match them. Full of vibrant animals, these books are loads of fun for young children.

My Very First Book of Animal Sounds

1800

Der Hund bellt, die Katze miaut, die Kuh muht. Und das Schwein? Eric Carle hat sich in diesem Klappbilderbuch den Tierlauten gewidmet, einem Lieblingsthema für Kinder, das ganz am Anfang des Spracherwerbs steht. Bevor die Tiere mit Namen benannt werden, kennen die Kinder bereits die Laute, die die Tiere machen. Diese gilt es den entsprechenden Tieren auf den geteilten Klappseiten zuzuordnen. Ein interaktives Spielbuch, bei dem viel gebrüllt, gepiept und gelacht werden darf.
