Dear Parents, 

This fun and interactive book takes us on a journey with our child, where we knock on doors filled with surprises. These surprises allow the child to explore their world, and give us, the parents, the chance to see things through their eyes. 

The book helps expand our child’s knowledge, enrich their vocabulary, and expose them to various concepts such as: colors, numbers, shapes, and animal names. It also opens the door to conversations about feelings and develops different sensory skills. 

We rejoice as we see our child grow rapidly, experiment, feel, and learn. When we allow them to experience diverse situations and accompany them with patience and love, their curiosity and desire to learn and explore flourish, and they acquire new skills and information. This strengthens their abilities to understand and express themselves. 

Let’s hold our child close and knock on the doors of the book together. Let’s read and enjoy it side by side. 

Before opening the door: Ask the child to guess what’s behind the door based on the color or the picture.

Let’s Talk 

Before opening the door: Ask the child to guess what’s behind the door based on the color or the picture. Knock on the door and open it together, then observe the illustration and ask: Who’s behind the door? What are they doing? Name the characters, the objects, and their actions. 

About feelings: Talk to the child about the characters’ emotions. For example, ask: How did the rabbit feel when it ate the carrot? 

About preferences: Ask your child what color they love, and look together for objects of the same color.
