Finny Finds Friends in the Forest

Are you looking for a linguistically charming, interactive picture book that helps children learn early reading skills such as phonemic awareness and reading comprehension?

Finny Finds Friends in the Forest, winner of a Graphics Excellence Award and two Dr. Toy Awards (100 Best Products, 10 Best Audio Products), is a story about a fish who thinks the grass is greener and eventually discovers there's no place like home.

Children, ages three to eight, love to listen to the rhythm, rhyme and repetition of sounds in this award-winning picture book. Written by a certified reading specialist and an elementary school principal, the book was created with a dual purpose, to work as both a stand-alone, read-aloud picture book and an interactive, educational tool.

The book provides many learning opportunities that parents, teachers and librarians will find helpful. These include a guide for parents to help children become better readers, factual information about fish, retelling pictures and fun surprises including ghosted letters and words in the backgrounds, illustrations loaded with letter-sound pictures, and seek-and-find characters found on every page.

To top it all off, the book also comes with a 15-minute, richly produced audio CD. The zesty dramatization along with toe-tapping, sing-along songs, bring to life yet another dimension to this story.

This book, with its subtle educational concepts and audio CD combo, has it all! An invaluable resource for parents, teachers and librarians. Ages 3 and up.
