Friday Notables - John Deere: Harvest

The John Deere: Fun Flaps: Harvest board book is a great book to check out from your local library especially with Thanksgiving so close. The book features quality real life pictures of some basic fruits and vegetables, such as apples, corn, and pumpkins and pairs them with a basic question such as - "Where does corn grow?" Your child can then lift the flap and see one of John Deere's combines harvesting some corn. The book is simple, interactive, and repetitive and although the John Deere product placement is very obvious to adults, children are more interested in identifying the different fruits and vegetables and looking at the giant combines and I would much rather let them have the opportunity to look at pictures of real machinery than illustrations of tractors. Children who are learning to talk really enjoy trying to say the word "combine" and as they become more familiar with the book, can begin to tell you that wheat grows in a wheat field before lifting the flap. Overall, a great book to share with your child. If you want to look more at this book now or other great toddler books, check out my amazon store at the bottom of my blog.Thanks for reading and here is the full info on the book:
