Review: It’s So Quiet
Will our country mouse fall asleep? Well, It’s So Quiet. Who knows? One thing is certain, you’ll be reading this book more than once.
Review: Can I Sit With You?
This book is sophisticated, filled with empathy, and written on many levels. If you are not prepared to engage in serious support while reading this book to a classroom of young learners, or with your own child to elicit understanding, then this book is not for you.
Review: No! Said Rabbit
This book is funny, delightful, beautifully-simply, illustrated and sure to provide much needed conversation with naysayers. Our five-year-old enjoyed saying “No!” along with the rabbit, but, by the end of the book completely understood that he himself acted like the rabbit many times–not giving things a chance, or saying “no” to something he actually wanted.
Review: Bella’s Recipe for Success
Guided by the gentle hand of her grandmother Bella comes to realize that accomplishment takes work and perseverance; even Bella’s siblings get in on the lessons!
Review: When Elephants Listen With Their Feet
I’m putting this one in the “coffee table books for the middle grade set” category. Which is not necessarily a good thing, but not necessarily a bad thing either.
Parenting is About Choices
Well, our traditional Parents’ Days have passed, at least in the United States, and I thought I would take the time to write-up a short post on some books that fall into categories that are not often addressed directly in Children’s Literature; but, are essential, nonetheless.
Review: Lobe Your Brain
This book is highly non-objectionable; except, I do not know why it was published.
Review: Sound (Shh. . . Bang. . . Pop. . . Boom!)
In short, the book tries to cover too much, in too little space.
