The Wheels on the Bus: Go Round and Round (Classic Board Books with Holes)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
from: Child's Play (International) Ltd

2001-09
My son is only 5 months, but he loves looking at this book even if he doesn't understand the "story" yet - there are lots of bright colours and things to see in the pictures. I can see him enjoying it more and more as he gets older as we discuss the content of the pictures (people, animals, clowns, magicians...) My only problem is to stop my son from eating the book! The CD is a great bonus.

Jolly Phonics Word Book (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
by: Susan M. Lloyd, Sara Wernham

I have been very keen to teach my son the letters of the alphabet but wanted to do it the right way. Having visited his school he will be attending next year, they do follow the Jolly phonics scheme and therefore these books have been great along with the work books. It's given me the confidence to teach and he has enjoyed the colourful pictures and tracing with his finger the letters. We are now moving on to book three after he has managed to read and write the letters in books one and two. Being a working parent and mum to a one year old aswell we are only able to do learning for an hour on a friday so these short to the point books are great. My husband also helps by going over a book for 5 mins at bedtime before reading a short story. It ... Read More:

Jolly Phonics Letter Sound Poster (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
by: Sue Lloyd

2002-01
My son age 4 is learning his phonics sounds at home and this poster is in the living room and also his bedroom. We spend about 10mins sounding out the letter that he has learnt. The pictures along with the letter reminds your child (and you) the correct sound for each letter. Well worth the small price for this poster.

Jolly Phonics Wall Frieze (Jolly Phonics)

I love this product, BUT I had to send it back 3 times before I actually got a complete package with all the sounds. So the product gets 5 starts, the quality control for the packing gets 1 star.

Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Classic Board Books with Holes)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
from: Child's Play (International) Ltd

Not our best buy really. Pictures are ok but very busy and not easy for small children. The holes don't work with this story. There are better buys out there so perhaps take another look before committing to this one.

That's Not My Bear (Touchy-Feely Board Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
by: Fiona Watt

January 31, 2003
Simple touchy feely book, with big thick board pages and a different texture on each double page and the cover. Each page has a different bear on it (2 pandas, a koala on the cover, a polar bear, honey bear and grizzly) as well as the little mouse to look for every time. The text reads, for example "That's not my bear!.... Its tongue is too scratchy!" until the last page, when you finally find your own bear!!

My 1 year old enthusiastically feels each texture and turns the pages, and wants to read this one over and over again. His first word? "Bear"........

When you get bored of this one (which will happen way way before your baby does), try one of the others in the series. We also have "That's not my dinosaur" and "That's ... Read More:

Learn to Write Your Letters (Wipe Clean Write and Learn)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
from: Priddy Books

February 01, 2004
I bought this book for my daughter who has just started nursery school. I am very pleased with the product. It has plenty of bright colourful photos that she loves, and lots of room on each page to practice writing each letter. The wipe-clean style means that she can use it over and over again.I was going to keep it til Christmas as it would make a lovely present but I couldn't wait to give it to her. Highly recommended.

Times Tables: Learn the Tables with Songs and Games

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
by: CRS Records

August 07, 2006
This is a super CD and both my daughters (9 and 7) have found it really useful. We listen to a different multiplication table each morning on the long and rather tedious car journey to school and it has worked wonders in terms of their times tables. I can thoroughly recommend it (although adults will probably find it increasingly annoying and irritating with each listening!!).

Tricky Word Wall Flowers (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Early Learning
by: Sara Wernham, Sue Lloyd

January 31, 2002
I purchased these as my child is learning tricky words at school. These have so far been excellent as any words that he is struggling with have been stuck up on the wall at home to aid with recognition. As the previous reviewer mentioned these are large but for us that has been of benefit as he can see them from some distance. He's also had great fun and satisfaction removing them as he has learnt the words. We also used the hat to put in any words which he may need a refresher or is finding particularly hard to remember. For us these have been of huge benefit.
