You’re a Helper!: Beginning Baby

The Mommies Reviews

This is a review for You’re A Helper!: Beginning Baby children’s book I received in exchange for this review.

During our Homeschool Reading and Art Class this morning I asked Charlie to read You’re A Helper!: Beginning Baby which is full of Animals we can study when we begin our studies on Animals. As well as reminding Charlie anyone can and should be a helper both inside and outside the home.

We’ve just planted our Garden and showing Charlie the Animals watering the plants inspired Charlie to get up and water our plants allowing Charlie to get Exercise for our PE Class. Charlie let me know he would like a Watering Can which will take us on a Field Trip to a plant store.

To keep Charlie’s attention when reading You’re A Helper!: Beginning Baby I put together a Scavenger Hunt and hide his Purple Crayon and just like the Llama Charlie had to find the missing crayon. Allowing Charlie to use his imagination.

When we finished reading, You’re A Helper!: Beginning Baby I reminded Charlie how Monkey put all of his toys away. Then I asked Charlie if he had stuff that needed put away and before I knew what was happening both David and Charlie were picking up the living room and kitchen. Thank the LORD.

Charlie loved learning anyone can be a helped it they put their minds to it. As I discussed the book and who it should be for both Charlie said children and adults would enjoy the story and should read the book with their families and the book should be in all classrooms.

About:

The perfect gift for just the right moment in a baby and parent’s life.

Welcome to Beginning Baby, a line of novelty board books and gifts designed to give little ones a bright start! Vetted by early childhood experts and thoughtfully created with input from parents and caregivers, each Beginning Baby book explores educational concepts tied to early learning milestones, building a foundation for a strong beginning. An adorable and energetic cast of Animal characters guide babies through early learning concepts in a playful way that reinforces ideas through rhythm and repetition and engages eyes and hands with flaps, moving parts, mirrors, or tabs. With its irresistible interactive elements, colorful and decorative designs, and strong educational framework, Beginning Baby makes growing and learning for babies as easy as playing and dreaming—and also makes the perfect gift for new families.

It’s a busy day for the Beginning Baby Animal friends, and they could use some help! In YOU’RE A HELPER, baby can push the embedded slides to help Paisley the Octopus water plants, Layla the Llama find a crayon, Mia the Monkey put away toys, and other characters with their activities around the house. It all ends with a hug for Mateo the red Panda, who needs one after getting an ouchie.

TARGETS DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES: Every book is conceived and written to address milestones in a baby’s life, from fine motor skills to shape recognition and emotional awareness.

MOVABLE DURABLE SLIDES: Each slide mechanism is carefully embedded into the book for maximum ease of movement. Baby will love playing with the durable slides.

ENCOURAGES HELPING AND EMPATHY: Each character in the book is trying to do something, and baby is asked to help and then rewarded with the words, “Good job! You’re a helper!”

CUTE CHARACTERS: Evoking Richard Scarry’s characters, but for much younger readers, these adorable characters—from an artistic Llama to a musical Elephant and a gardener Octopus—teach toddler concepts while promoting Socialization and community.
