I Went Walking

A boy sets out walking and spots one animal after another, a black cat, a brown horse, a red cow, each one peeking into view before he sees it fully.

For the toddler who points at every dog, bird, and squirrel on the sidewalk, this turns a walk into a game of guess-who.

• Big idea: Curiosity rewards close looking, and the world is full of things waiting to be noticed.
• Vibes: Sunny, playful, and rhythmic, with a gentle sense of surprise on every page.

• love guessing what comes next
• are working on naming animals and colors
• enjoy repetition and rhyme
• like to chime in with the refrain

• Imagination: If you went walking, what animal do you think you'd see first?
• Observation: How could you tell it was a cat before you saw the whole picture?
• Real-life connection: What animals have we seen on our own walks?
• Story & memory: Can you remember all the animals the boy saw, in order?
