Baby Bloomers- Tigers

Today it finally feels like summer, it is probably to hot to actually plan a trip to the zoo with the little ones, so instead we brought the zoo to them.  I wanted a Zoo Theme and ended with books with tigers or about tigers finding their way.  The illustrations and colors are ideal for this group, the text a bit on the long side but not horrible long.  They loved Nose to Toes You Are Yummy! the end page has a nice soft fur kids loved to touch. 


We read



Leo the Late Bloomer by Robert Krauss
Nose to Toes You Are Yummy! by Tim Harrington
Ten Playful Tigers by Betty Schwartz

We ended with



1,2,3 To The Zoo by Eric Carle
