duck

Joel has been saying Duck Duck Duck... He took the duck jigsaw and throws it onto the "duck page". Then he takes a duck finger puppet and throws it onto the page too.

Joel has this set of Lola & Binky books and i find it really good. Joel likes the books every much, especially the Zoo book. I've read it so many times to him that i can memorize all of it.

On each page, there's a touch-n-feel jigsaw. A few days ago, i placed all the 16 jigsaws (from 4 books) on the floor and Joel was able to put the correct jigsaw onto every page although he hasnt mastered fitting them correctly. The down side is that Joel likes to chew on the jigsaws and it always makes me very angry. Almost the entire title on the Zoo book has been eaten up.

There's 4 jigsaws in every book:
Fun on the Beach (sand castle, kite, starfish, car)
Fun at the Zoo (bus, tiger, koala, elephant)
Fun on the Farm (pig, lamb, cow, tractor)
Fun at the Park (dog, butterfly, bee, duck)

Yes, it's a very good book (i feel). We bought it from a Bangkok bookstore last Dec. I'm sure Spore will have too. It was cheap, maybe about S$5-8 each. And it's very good quality too! I like the touch-&-feel part. Eg. for elephant, a small section is rubbery leather; for dog it's soft fur.
