Parents' Corner
Reading Level: Pre-A1 On every page Lina greets a new flower by name and color, and the moment a butterfly lands on her shoulder and she giggles is a favorite with little listeners. Reinforce colors with simple questions like 'What color was the tulip?' On the hyacinth page, take a big pretend sniff together just like Lina. On your next spring walk, try to spot one flower from the book. At ages 0 to 3, choosing one color and hunting for it all day makes learning stick.
