Helen Oxenbury has created a charming book for
babies that introduces concepts for awakening minds and early learning. Cognitive
development through the use of the senses and motor skills through movement,
are concentrated on throughout the book.
Exquisitely illustrated, Clap Hands presents baby’s first venture into learning. There are a
lot of firsts to be found in the fun-filled activity and play which adorns
every page.
A group of cute babies are seen enjoying themselves as they
practice eating and drinking, clapping, tapping and drumming during their
sensorimotor stage. By watching each other and copying what they see, waving
and using their arms, they improve their motor skills and discover their sense
of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound.
The limited rhyming verse full of rhythm welcomes
repetition that will engage any squiggling and wriggling youngster’s
concentration. So will the brilliant colours that are used to visually
stimulate young minds and add another branch of learning.
These pages full of energetic babies enjoying
spontaneous play form the ideal first book for babies. Sized to fit the grip of
tiny hands, the sturdy board will withstand constant turning and taste testing.
