For Ages 0 - 3 years Two little monkeys playing near a tree, One named Cheeky, and one named Chee. Look out, Cheeky! Look out, Chee! Someone’s prowling…who could it be? This book is great for reading aloud. It’s just the right amount of mystery for very young readers. I read it to Toddler Time and they loved it.
For Ages 3 – 8 years Rocket continues his education with the little yellow bird by learning to write a story about a new friend. I love Rocket and this will make a great read aloud for kindergarten and first grade.
For Ages 8 – 12 years “August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school – until now. He’s about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite appearances?” This book got great reviews, I’ve only read a couple of chapters and it’s really good.
For All Ages Did you know that in a second a rattlesnake shakes its tail in warning 60 times? A hummingbird beats its wings 50 times? These are just a few of the amazing facts in this book about time. I really enjoy Steve Jenkins’s books. They are full of interesting facts that are great for lessons and his illustrations are wonderful.
For Parents Ever looking for a book to explain to your kids what happens when you lose a tooth? This one is so sweet and stars our old friend, Bear, and all his usual pals. |
