I Went Walking by Sue Williams

This classic has been on our shelf since our oldest was a baby.

Like most books for young children, the lyrical words, "I went walking. What did you see? I saw a  [color] [animal] looking at me" allow children to learn colors and pre-reading skills as they fill what comes next. "I saw a brown cow looking at me."

Julie Vivas uses bold, bright colors to introduce us to each new animal as we take a walk with the narrator.







This book is very similar to, and therefore I recommend Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, as well.
