Tap the Magic Tree

Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson is a wonderful interactive book for story time. This book can be used for counting, identifying colors, and helping to get the wiggles out! You and the children start by tapping the magic tree. Throughout the story, children can tap, rub, touch each bud, jiggle, wiggle, blow, shake, and pat! The story follows a tree throughout the course of the seasons. Leaves, buds, flowers, and apples can be counted. When the tree goes through fall, the leaves change to yellow, orange, and red - a great way to identify and practice colors! The story ends with a bluebird hatching from the nest in the tree.
