Which Tail? Spin and Choose the Tail Board Book

Get ready for a wildly fun and interactive adventure with Which Tail?! This engaging board book invites little readers to turn the wheel and match the correct tail to each animal—or get creative and pick the silliest tail they can find! With vibrant illustrations, playful text, and endless possibilities, this hands-on book encourages problem-solving, early decision-making, and imaginative play while reinforcing animal recognition and descriptive language.

Which Tail? is the perfect companion to our Tail Sounds deck of cards, coming soon! Together, these resources make learning about tails and animal sounds even more exciting for kids, speech therapists, and educators.
