Books with title I Can

Every parent knows how much their little kidlets love to do and help. Unfortunately, the timing isn’t always ideal for the activities they crave, or they aren’t always ready for the big jobs they want to try. This book is a story of such a little boy. His intentions are good and his heart is big, but his little self is not quite ready, so it is up to his mom to direct him to things that he can do. This book is written to encourage the reader and child to interact. It is recommended that you ask the child what is going on in the pictures and allow them to think about each alternative activity. Why is the first activity not allowed? What is the new activity? Why is that better? It is our hope that this book will be a bonding experience between reader and child and a treasured memory for years to come. You can view an inside preview at barnardbooks.com
