Listening Time cover

Teach your toddler to be a good listener!

Sshh! Someone's quiet as a mouse. Someone's still as can be. Who's ready to listen? Look inside and see!

This playful board book:

  • Learn to Listen While Having Fun: When it's time for young children to listen closely, it can be a challenge. Listening Time sets the tone for easy listening skills using simple rhymes that readers can chant along to as they learn to sit “criss-cross applesauce” and “zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket” with a pretend key.
  • Supports Essential Social Emotional Learning Skills: Little ones build communication, focus, and important social skills as they learn to open their eyes and ears, but to close their mouths so good listening can begin.
  • Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: Perfect for circle time or at-home learning, this supportive children’s book includes additional tips and social emotional learning activities for adults to try with their little ones as they practice listening to others.
