Happy Fall!

We at The Gifted Grasshopper hope everyone enjoyed those first exciting days of school! Do you have a preschooler who is experiencing the classroom for the first time? Well, we have the perfect book for you! Here We Go Round the Mullberry Bush by Sophie Fatus is a fantastic way to get any preschooler excited about going to school.

Brightly colored acrylics fill the pages of this Barefoot Book, which include spring shades of green on the endpapers and representations of the heart-shaped leaves and purple mulberries. Cartoonlike children of many ethnicities and with large almond-shaped eyes dance through the 10 verses as they jump out of bed, wash themselves, and go to school. Various scenic backgrounds represent the many countries in which the youngsters live. This multicultural treat will encourage creative movement as well as creativity in inventing other verses for preschoolers.

This beautifully illustrated book also includes a sing-along CD! Your child will simply love hearing the song over and over while turning the pages of this engaging story.
