#BookReview: The Sleepy Little Alphabet

Saturday, April 25, 2020 1 Comments

**Re-sharing an oldie

Summary from GoodReads: A fun read-aloud for little ones who are learning their ABCs.It's sleepy time in Alphabet Town. But the twenty-six little letters of the alphabet all have something they need—or want—to do before big-letter moms and dads tuck them in. Not since the classsic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has there been such an appealing way to teach the youngest child the ABCs while providing a one-minute goodnight story. Of course, Melissa Sweet’s animated watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations may beg for a little more time to match up all the toys with the right letters, and Judy Sierra’s rollicking rhymed story will want to be heard again and again. Okay, so maybe it’s a three-minute story!

My Review: This was such a cute book with adorable illustrations. It's perfect for young readers. It shows the complete alphabet and several letters at a time. There's great use of letters, rhyming and letter-word connection {b-bath, etc}. My 6 year old even loved it and insisted that we read it three times. 

RATING: ♥♥♥♥♥

#BookReview: Green Pieces

**Re-sharing an oldie


Summary from GoodReads: Life is never boring back at the pond once Iggy, Radic, Cabby and Roc get together. Join them for a humorous yet serious look at nature. After all, people world-wide are familiar with some part of nature and all of nature serves as the Green pieces© cartoon strip s character sources. In his first compilation book of cartoon strips, author Drew Aquilina draws from his love of animals and nature from when he was growing up in Connecticut. As the seasons turn, Green Pieces: Green From the Pond Up explores how birds, deer, squirrels and other denizens of the natural world coexist, even when man intrudes on their surroundings.

My Review: Just wait until you meet Iggy, Radic, Cabby and Roc. Each member of this little group has their own quirk. Follow them through the environment spring, summer fall and winter.

Most of us, myself included, are trying to be more aware of the environment. We try to teach our children the same. This is a really fun way for kids to learn more about going green while reading and taking little adventures.

Very fresh and fun with characters you'll just have to love. A must read for all ages.

Book Review: Mr. Ginger and the Disappearing Fish

Friday, November 19, 2010 2 Comments
Summary from GoodReads: No listing


My Review: This is book 5, the last book in this series. 


In this book the wonderful characters must solve a food problem. Due to changes in the ocean currents, the fish have moved farther from land. Add to that some noisy seagulls trying to fish and our book has it's newest environmental problem to solve.


I have to say that this has to be one of the best children's book series' that I have read to date. The characters are awesome and the *accidental learning* is a benefit to all parents. 


Pick these up for your children and read them with them.
