My 4 year old is very interested in reading now and this kind of book with specific set of sounds is very helpful at early reading stage. The illustrations are colorful and cute too! Lovely book!
Sydney The Sloth
Sydney the Sloth is a bright, fun, beautifully illustrated book about a sloth called Sydney who dreams of being a salsa dancer. Sydney tries to salsa but finds he is too slow and all that dancing makes him sleepy.
Sydney The Sloth encourages children to follow their dreams (even when others think they’re silly), to never give up, and to try regardless of the risk of failure all whilst working on their ‘S’ sound.
