Why this book

Language is the foundation for reading, and reading comprehension depends heavily on knowledge. Young children learn language and gain knowledge through loving interactions with the adults in their life. 

Reptiles was created to make those moments easy.

• Real-world photographs (not illustrations)
• Lots of concepts to talk about on every page
• A Grown-Up Guide to support the conversation.

No pressure. Just learning together.

And so much more. Each page invites conversations that grow with your baby.
