First Picture Action Rhymes Board Book

One of my favorite First Picture Action Books is the First Picture Action Rhymes Book. I highly recommend it to the parents of my preschool students.

I also recently just purchased a copy for my one-year-old niece. It's a great book for story time because it's so highly interactive. Children always remember rhymes better when connected to actions.

This book shows pictures of the actions that go with each popular rhyme or song. And again, the pictures are awesome!

First Picture Nursery Rhymes Board Book

After reading a page from First Picture Nursery Rhymes to my preschool class, I use the book by putting it in my dramatic play area. The preschoolers in my classroom will then go to that center at first choice time and refer to the page read.

They will act out the nursery rhyme learned that day. They find the page easy enough because the pictures are so vibrant and easy to remember!

I would highly recommend this whole series of picture books.
