The Spot series is great for young children. The stories are extremely simple, so it moves quickly and can keep the attention of a six month old baby. Spot is a little nervous about his first day of school, but he quickly learns that learning can be fun.
This one had lift the flaps, which is wonderful. My daughter loves lifting them over and over again, and it helps her with hand-eye coordination and discovering the permanence of objects. The story is nothing special, but the illustrations are cute and its simplicity is geared for the teeny ones.
Aubrey has already torn one flap.

This is really cute and active read with students kindergarten level. There are pop up tabs on each page that the children can help open, keeping them engaged while also teaching them that school is fun. The main baby animal character, Spot (a dog) will make this a playful read because they may have a dog at home and think its funny that dogs go to school.

Eric Hill was born on September 7, 1927 in London, England. During World War II, he was evacuated to the countryside along with thousands of other British children. Later, he worked in advertising before writing and illustrating a book about a puppy for his son. His first book, Where's Spot, was published in 1980 and became the first book in the show more Spot series. It incorporated the innovative lift-the-flap concept - something devised by Hill after he noticed a flap design on an advertising flyer. There are more than 30 books in the series including Spot's Birthday Party, Spot Goes to the Farm, Spot Goes to School, and Spot Loves His Friends. He also illustrated the Peek-A-Book series, the Baby Bear Storybook series, and a number of other children's books. He won several awards for the Spot books including a Notable Children's Book citation from the American Library Association and a Children's Book of the Year award from the Child Study Association of America. The popularity of his books led to an animated series, The Adventures of Spot, in 1983. In 2008, he received an OBE for services to children's literature. He died after a short illness on June 6, 2014 at the age of 86. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
