Eek I Hear a Squeak and the Scurrying of Little Feet is a 2008 Mom's Choice Awards Gold Recepient.
Use the interactive CD for children diagnosed with autism or children who require additional practice. Look for the many surprises that occur as the book pages are turned.
How many parents have put a child back to bed several times in one night? How many children have played upon their parents' inability to stand firm and keep the child in bed? This humorous story will be enjoyed by both the parents and children as they go back and forth to find the "squeak" and in the end, hopefully, get their child to remain in bed.
How often is there miscommunication between parents and young children? The Mama Nanny is thinking that a squeak can only be heard but the young Baby Kid knows a little secret about squeaks.
How often do parent's word choices worry the child? When Papa Billy says he will get rid of the squeak why does Baby Kid say, "No, don't get rid of the squeaks?"
