For toddlers two and up, there are two sets that have more pages, more concepts and more Duplos. Play with Dan and Lucy's Birthday reveal concepts of colors, shapes and numbers through interactive fun. Duplo comes to story in Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The books unfold out to tell the stories and toddlers literally build a story. When Jack comes to a bridge, for example, it is the toddler who builds the simple block bridge illustrated in the book.
Books give both a sense of accomplishment and being a genuine part of the story.
Take Care of Brown Bear, illustrated by Susan Baum has bright, bold pictures with familiar scenes from home. Toddlers can use the 18 reusable stickers to help Brown Bear get bathed, bandaged, entertained or nurtured with drinks, stories and bedtime routine. Not only does Little Bunny count objects common to young experience, but the book and stickers can also encourage early experiences with addition and subtraction. The durability of stickers will survive rough handling. Suddenly there are numbers of books with cleverly designed holes that become openings for puppetry fun.
