Today I get to review a fun new series for kids. The I Say, You Say series is written for toddlers and preschoolers. I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and both of them love this series. They have been in our car and usually I can catch the 5 year old "reading" it to the 3 year old while we are waiting for Hailey (age 7) to get out of school.

What I really like about this series is the large 2 page spread with a portion of each page that either lifts up or out. I'm not talking just flaps - but flaps that are actually part of the page. They won't tear off easily and since the paper is a heavier paper (although not a board book page) the pages are sturdy enough for older toddlers. 

I Say You Say Animal Sounds encourages kids to read through repetition, they learn the sounds each animal makes and their names also. I Say You Say Opposites teaches visually sizes, the meaning of opposites and children learn to "predict" what is going to happen next.

This would be a great series to give for birthday gifts, christmas stockings, to keep in the diaper bag - shoot do like I do and keep it in the car. Just train your kids to use their indoor voice. =b
