📚 THE BAD MOOD AND THE STICK -Lemony Snicket, illust Matthew Forsythe
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas I love that the stick is a character in this book. It very matter-of-factly pops up throughout the story just as matter-of-factly a bad mood is addressed. It made me smile through the whole story. Plus it's a great discussion book with your shorties. #kidlit #recommendedreading

📚 PLANET KINDERGARTEN -Sue Ganz-Schmitt , illust Shane Prigmore
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Super clever and cute space themed first day of school. Applicable to so many different age groups though and with some fun illustrations. What did your parents do to help you with your First-Day-of-School anxieties? #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 KNUFFLE BUNNY -A CAUTIONARY TALE -Mo Willems
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Illustration mixed with photographs, this cute little story is all too real and relatable to the parent readers. Actually, if you currently have a 1-3 year old, then this story may actually be a trigger *chuckles a little to play it off like a joke even though is currently living this* Not up to his Pigeon, but Mo always delivers! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 ELLA KAZOO WILL NOT BRUSH HER HAIR -Lee Fox, illus Jennifer Plecas
☕️☕️ 2.5 #KristiCocoas Rhyming book that's exactly as the title sounds. Fun if you have a shorty with the same problem. Maybe a little wordy if not. It’s more in honor of my own morning’s events. #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 Happy Read Across America Day in honor of Dr. Seuss!
Did you know that Theodor “Ted” Seuss Geisel had a vanity plate that said "GRINCH"? I think that is one of the most wonderful things in the world. Dr. Seuss is one of the most prolific and recognizable children's picture book authors. And boy does he deserve it! He broke the rules and created worlds and inspired all walks of life. What better way to celebrate the day than to read with your little today! Find your favorite Dr. Seuss book and pull it out for your kiddos. Bonus activity! Give me your best Seussesque ending for the prompt pictured above! #readacrossamericaday #seuss #challenge |
