Hello School! It is our little narrators first day of school. They are nervous, excited and know they will have fun and learn ever so much. Readers will experience what a first day of school can be like. Priscilla Burris (author and illustrator) has made a simple, sweet and special story about school. The illustrations are not completely realistic, but they are realistic, too. The students have expressions that are obvious to understand just by looking at them. She does not have to tell us […]
Go Ahead, Read it Again!
Can you believe the first Harry Potter book is 21 years old?!? Harry would be in his 30’s by now! Hagrid would be in his 80’s! A baby could have been born when the first book came out and be able to drink today! I’m amazed at how timeless and magical the books still are. And even after my having read this one 3 times and seen the movie, there are still little treasures here and there that I discover each time. I love Rowling’s […]
Why are the adults the only characters wearing clothes?
I knew I had read not only Father Bear Comes Home by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, but the series of “Little Bear” books as a kid (and had them read to me). I knew there was a cartoon that I would (as an adult) sometimes catch (research for babysitting/future nieces and nephews) but when starting it last night, I realized how much I had forgotten about it. One thing I did not forget though, is why are the adults the only […]
This is the worst alphabet book but an awesomely cool idea!
This is not your mothers alphabet book! This is not for a young child just learning their alphabet. This alphabet book could be given to an adult. I could also see this used in classes as low as second grade but upwards to junior high due to the items mentioned. It would be a great gift for someone who collects alphabet books. Now why this book is so fantastic. P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Ever by Raj Haldar and Chris Carpenter (illustrated by […]
Classical and modern take on love and children in a new picture book
Love You More is about a couple of parents telling their child how much they love them and what they have learned from loving their child. The parents thought they knew true love with each other, but their child has taken them to another level of love. In Love You More we see the child grow as the parents take a modern take about love and how the family now centers around the love for the child. Gary Urda has taken from his own experiences […]
My question is, why is this a kid’s book?
The Berenstain Bears: We Love Soccer! is a takeoff of the original Berenstain Bears series. Some of us grew up on the 8×8 paperbacks, some of us had early readers, some of us watched the television series and some a combination. Mike Berenstain has created another set of books that take off from the originals with new and old favorite characters. He now covers themes that are a bit more modern then just “new baby” or “jealous” or “eating too much junk food” or “the […]
