My Up & Down & All Around Book
This engaging, colorful board book is designed to help young children learn prepositions. It's 'illustrated' with wonderful photographs of children, many with Down syndrome. The facing pages are color coded show children engaged in various, fun 'before' and 'after' activities. For example, a child is up on the slide on the left hand page, and down on the facing page; behind a tree and then in front of a tree. The last page, written by a speech and language pathologist, has suggestions to help children combine words into phrases. In addition, the Woodbine House website has a companion page with additional ideas for teaching children to use prepositions. Regardless of how you use this delightful book, it s one you and your children will want to read over and over again. --Newsline, Summer 2008 (Federation for Children with Special Needs)From the author ofI Can, Can You?, Marjorie W.
