The Big Steps books are a great way of introducing children to
different life skills and building their confidence and familiarity
with doing them. Watching characters their own age experience
different things goes a long way in letting children know that they
are normal, healthy and not scary. The children enjoyed pointing to
the different pictures, opening flaps and naming objects, which is
fantastic for helping to build their vocabulary and prepare them
for learning to read. The book is also sturdy enough for
enthusiastic hands. Our testers found the little tips at the bottom
of the page useful and in one case, they helped to transform a
reluctant dresser into someone who is happy to get dressed most
mornings!
