Overview
Learning and playing form a perfect match in this innovative book featuring four animal habitats, sixteen magnetized animal pieces, and dozens of ways to discover interesting things about animals and their environments. The magnetized pieces are grouped according to habitat, species type (bugs, reptiles, mammals, birds), and color. Pre-readers can use color and picture clues to help them complete each scene by placing a particular animal onto a magnetized spot. Slightly older youngsters can also employ counting, reading, and deductive reasoning skills, as well as basic science knowledge - and play at the same time!Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
Kids will discover the magic of the animal kingdom with this inventive book package that includes a colorful book with four vibrant habitats (forest, desert, savanna, and jungle) and magnetized playing pieces to complete each scene. Colored stars offer hints for matchups, and simple questions about each animal appear around the border of each scene to help preschoolers and toddlers learn about the monkeys in the jungle or the fox in the forest. Basic concepts such as counting, colors, and shapes are also addressed, making this fun-filled activity book a sure hit with parents.Children's Literature
Summer reading for adults means finding a beach novel you devour when you arrive at your destination. Once children arrive at a vacation spot, they are so active they may never pick up a book. While some children may lose themselves in a good novel en route, for the majority, an activity book will occupy them better than any other. Activity-inspired books help endure long plane and car travel, restaurant waits, or enjoy hotel down time. The magnetism of this new kit makes it attractive for travel. Animal Match has sixteen colorful, magnetized animals that children attach to different habitats with the help of questions and color matching. The format leaves room for both learning and creating. 2001, Dial, $14.99. Ages 2 to 6. Reviewer: Susie WildeBook Details
