Opposites are the first pairs a toddler can hold in their head at once, and this board book gives them something to do with their hands while they work it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach spread carries a printed trail. A child follows the arrow or traces the shape of the object with a fingertip, which turns an abstract idea into a movement they can repeat. It is the same principle behind a Montessori sandpaper letter, applied to a board book a two year old can operate alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe artwork comes from the We're Going on a Bear Hunt animated film, so the horse, the owl, the earthworm, the bulrushes and the bear himself all arrive already familiar to a child who has watched it. Recognition is what gets a toddler to open a book without prompting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve thick board pages, a square trim, rounded corners. It is small enough for the pushchair and short enough to finish in one sitting, which is exactly the length a two year old is willing to give you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48186740244710,"sku":"605234Z","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/3862\/3462\/files\/r12-hero-4x5_2e6e6d7c-4638-424f-8ac2-8abb48c15867.jpg?v=1786588569","url":"https:\/\/shop.stellarluxe.com\/products\/were-going-on-a-bear-hunt-my-first-opposites","provider":"Stellar Luxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
