The Turtle Went for a Swim: Poems

Nina Pikuleva's book "The Turtle Went for a Swim" is a perfect fit for the "A Reader is Born!" series. It is a helpful resource for mothers, fathers, grandparents, nannies, and preschool teachers. Each poem can serve as the basis for a fun and engaging activity with a toddler. And here's the most unusual part! The book contains not only nursery rhymes, but also tips for adults on how to involve the child in reading and play. For example, when reading the poem "The Drum," you can tap timidly "Bam!" and loudly "Boom!" and softly, like raindrops—"Tap, tap!". You can also find alternatives (and not just one!) to the well-known "Along the Straight Path." The book features large, colorful illustrations by Diana Lapshina. For reading aloud to children by adults.
