Old Mac Donald Hand Puppet

Parent and child can quack-quack and moo-moo away while they play and touch the five farm animal finger puppets: a duck, a cow, a pig, a cat, and a dog. This delightful interactive book from the Little Scholastic series is specially designed to support early development for babies and toddlers. With bright colours, high-contrast illustrations, and soft, tactile finger puppets, this book encourages sensory exploration, hand-eye coordination, and early vocabulary development. The rhythmic and repetitive text introduces familiar animals and sounds, inviting young readers to engage through listening, touch and play. Each turn of the page reveals a friendly new animal puppet, fostering anticipation and participation as babies learn about the world around them. Created with developmental milestones in mind, Little Scholastic titles are structured to grow with children from birth to age three, supporting early language and emotional bonding between adult and child. The combination of familiar farm animals and predictable patterns creates a safe and stimulating learning environment that supports communication, social skills and emergent literacy. Ideal for shared reading, tummy time or play-based learning, this book is a joyful way to give little learners a confident start.
