Beat Rainy Day Blues with Kids Books from Silver Dolphin Kids {A Giveaway Hop Event}



Welcome to the Life's a Beach Giveaway Hop Event hosted by The Kids Did It http://thekidsdidit.com/ & The Mommy Island http://themommyisland.blogspot.com We're celebrating the warmer weather with an open theme giveaway! Once you enter MY giveaway, be sure to hop along for more chances to win. ***************************** **Books received for review. All thoughts are 100% my own. When we think spring, we often think of the warmer weather... but let's be honest, spring also brings a lot of rain. If the weather where you are is anything like where I am--- it's a WHOLE lot of rain! So, what do we do to keep the kids occupied on those days when summer sun and fun are just not an option? For us, we like to keep our kids' book selection well stocked with great entertaining and interactive books. Today, I'm excited to share with you some new books from Silver Dolphin Books that are perfect for those rainy days...


Push-Pull-Turn: Dump Truck Gets to Work!, Fire Truck to the Rescue!, and Up in the Air! ($15.99; Ages 4 and up) introduce young children to a construction site, emergency vehicles, and flying machines in each interactive, oversized book. Each title features a lively story with flaps to open and tabs to pull to engage busy kids on the go! Lift the loader’s bucket, pull the fire truck’s ladder, and make the stunt plane do loop-de-loops, all while learning the basic parts and functions of each vehicle. Includes interactive flaps, wheels, and tabs. Join Squirrel as he climbs higher and higher up a tree in his quest for one big surprise in Up, Up, Up in the Tree ($9.99; Ages 3 and up)! With flaps to lift and peek-through holes, there’s lots to spot, count, and discover along the way in this beautifully illustrated and fun storybook. Includes flaps to lift and peek-through holes for extra fun and learning. Follow the trail for an exciting adventure with a rocket ship, a train, a boat, and more things that go in Trace Race: Things That Go ($9.99; Ages 3 and up)! This storybook includes unique cutout paths for toddlers to follow with their fingers as they encounter vehicles in fun settings. With adorable illustrations and rhyming text, this on-the-go book is perfect for interactive story time. Includes a die-cut path for finger tracing! Now, these might be what most would look at and think 'boy', especially the transportation themed books, but I have to tell you, my daughter loved them! She loved having the opportunity to lift the flap, pull and more to bring the book to life. Up, Up, Up in the Tree also provided that same fun entertainment with a cute little character that kids are sure to love. Of all of the books, my daughter's favorite had to be Trace Race. This fun book allowed her to trace her finger on each page for a fun, kind of sensory experience even. Such a simple idea, but she loved it! What I love about this books as a mom is that while these are fun to read together too, they are also great for my daughter to experience on her own. At three years old, she is not able to read yet, but if I need to clean or get work done, she can entertain herself with these interactive features of each of these books! All of these books are available to purchase now at your favorite book retailers. See more great selections from Silver Dolphin Books and connect at the links below.
