Concept books meet classic chalkboards in this innovative new way for kids to learn and play. Chalkboard Books promote learning through action, rather than passive observation, utilizing a familiar classroom feature that allows children to erase mistakes or repeat the exercise. By drawing pictures that relate to fun-to-read rhymes, forming letters, and vocally answering questions, kids come to understand the relationship of written numbers, words, and letters to the sounds they make. Designed for ages 36, these books "grow" with the child, providing many ways to expand on each story. A parents' guide on the back cover explains how to get the most from these innovative books.
