Hop, Skip, Jump: A Very First Picture Book by Nicola Tuxworth:
This book has photos of young children (up to about 5 years old) moving. There’s marching, skipping, jumping, throwing and other styles of movement. What Ezri likes best about this book is pointing to body parts. She loves to say “knee” lately as it is one of her more accurately pronounced words. This means pointing out the knees in these photos is particularly fun. She also points to the hair, eyes, bellies and toes of the children in the photos. The photographs are great for this game where I ask her to “point to an ear.” She points to an ear. Then I ask her to “point to a mouth.” The game goes on until she is bored and onto other things. The children photographed in the book are racially diverse. The backgrounds have been edited out of the photos so the children stand against a white background which makes it easy to focus on the children and leaves an uncluttered page. This clean design seems easier for Ezri. There are other titles in the series we will have to check out including Food, Funny Faces, Baby Animals, Splish Splash, Wild Animals, Kittens, Machines at Work, and Farm Animals.
Ezri realizes sound comes out of the earbuds which she had previously supposed were for chewing.
