Welcome to the Play Outside with Me Book Tour sponsored by Kat Chen and hosted by The Children’s Book Review. This board book series invites young readers to take part in a playdate activity of their choice, thereby empowering them with autonomy and validation. 

About Play Outside with Me

In this second book, the outdoor playdate models balanced and shared play, creating a positive reference for what caring and considerate friendship looks like. Many toddlers and preschoolers consistently ask for someone to play with them, and this book provides just that for the quieter moments of the day. Simple language and gentle questions will help children develop their social skills by practicing conversations, all while engaging them in fun and familiar topics.

Review for Play Outside with Me

We love board books. With vivid color, the illustrations pop off the page. Interactive questions encourage the little to answer and allows them to be a part of the story. What do you like to do outside? This book provides all kinds of activities. We love to draw with chalk, the grandkids like me to make a zoo. I can see the littles dragging me outside to play after reading this book. Such fun! The review and opinions expressed in this post are based on my personal view.
