Leo is ready to hike. He and Daddy head out on the trail, observing all the wildlife along the way. They see tall trees, tiny flowers, and even some crawling bugs. Soon Leo is determined to explore on his own, following a busy bee and lingering to look at a slow worm. By the end of the hike, both explorers are tired, happy, and ready to return another day!
Why I like this book: Leo on a Hike has a lot of observations of nature and descriptions. This helps with increasing space and place vocabulary. It centers a father-child relationship that’s very positive and caring. It has few words but offers lots to learn
