Board books are a delightful way to introduce the youngest audiences to the joys of reading. In her new series, “Poems for Little Creatures from the Very Big Wood,” Anne Marie Brown does a splendid job of introducing us to the animals that inhabit the Very Big Wood. In this series, Brown uses rhyme and rhythm to entertain. The books’ messages and the author’s lyrical phrasing help young listeners learn about the sounds of the language, which encourages phonemic awareness. There are three books to the series and each story focuses on situations that are very relatable to the toddler crowd.

Farrah Fox is a lovable little kit who has many ideas bouncing around between her ears. However, her fear of failure makes her insecure until Mama Fox reassures her that everyone fails sometimes and success often comes after learning from failures.
