Pat-A-Cake and Other First Baby Games (Sesame Beginnings)
As they approach their second birthday, many children begin to enjoy  playing classic baby games such as This Little Piggy, Pat-a-Cake, and Head,  Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. And who better to teach these rhymes and games than  theSesame Streetgang? Throughout this big square board book, baby Bert  and Ernie, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird help toddlers learn the hand gestures  and words to a dozen familiar games. Parents or teachers can guide their  charges, using the smaller print under each verse. ("Gently clap baby's hands  together. Roll baby's hands, pat them, then trace a large B on baby's front.  Point at baby, then at yourself.") The Sesame Beginnings series (Cookie See! Cookie Do!, etc.)  is a cute, fun way to help children from birth to 36 months attain important  developmental milestones, such as hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills.
