📚 THE NIGHT PIRATES -Peter Harris, illust. Deborah Allwright
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas A fun adventure with a nice childlike voice. I also love a good female pirate and they have fabulous hats to boot. Slightly confusing that they stole the front of a house for disguise but with the cuteness of the book it was easily forgivable. #kidlit #recommendedreading

📚MR. TIGER GOES WILD -Peter Brown
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas I think as a child we relate to Mr. Tiger a lot and as an adult we start to relate to the rest of the town more. It was fun remembering to be wild. Plus I was loving the illustrations! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚+📱Review + Activity
📚PICTURE DAY PERFECTION -Deborah Diesen, illust Dan Santat ☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas School picture day told through the eyes of a rather messy little boy. The children will enjoy it while it may stress out a few moms out there. 📱Activities: My kids LOVE photos of themselves. I’m sure yours do too! Make an intentional effort to play with them. Ideas: 🔲Take slo-mo videos of them jumping off the couch or twirling or trampoline flips and watch them together. 🔲Pick a random emotion and take pics and see which pic is the best! Easy printable list on this website: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheet/list-of-emotions Not to mention this is an excellent activity to have discussions about emotional health! 🔲Using a photo layout app, take photos that look like they’re interacting when out together in the different formats -think Brady Bunch here. 🔲Recreate favorite moments from movies and take a pic. This is fun to do as a guessing game with 2 teams or two remote families -you send the pics and guesses back and forth! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 DOES KANGAROO HAVE A MOTHER, TOO? -Eric Carle
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Cute simple story that fills my mommy-heart in a similar story formula as "Brown Bear..." all with Eric Carle’s beautiful collage artwork. Bonus page at the end has names of animal babies, parents, and groups which was fun for my olders to learn too." #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 PENGUIN PROBLEMS -Jory John, illust Lane Smith
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Who has children who whine all the time? Actually, who has children? This one is for you -even though your shorties will like it too. The voice will ring true no matter what type of kids you have in your life. Plus I feel like it gives a good perspective to the problem solving. #kidlit #recommendedreading POOR LITTLE GUY -Elanna Allen
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Mostly pictures, this is a great little bedtime story that gives a lcol with some fun and cute illustrations. It's hard to be a little fish in the big sea. #kidlit #recommendedreading |
