📚 THEY SAY BLUE -Jillian Tamaki
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas This beautiful book woke up my childhood's inner eye and I don't think I can explain it more clear than that, haha! Love the colors and the ideas. Love the exploration and the quiet emotions. #kidlit #recommended 📚 THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT -Drew Daywalt, Illust Oliver Jeffers
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas A surprisingly accurate collection of letters from the colors and offers great characterization and voice. Plus fun illustrations -obviously. Your shorties will giggle quite a few times! #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 ANIMALS SHOULD DEFINITELY *NOT* WEAR CLOTHING -Judi Barrett, Illust Ron Barrett
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas I maybe enjoyed this cute book more than I should have. It is a quick, easy read for bedtimes but also so enjoyable and made me lol. Simple. Charming. Funny. #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 + 🎨 LOVE BY SOPHIA -Jim Averbeck, Illust Yasmeen Ismail
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas 📚 First, love that the teacher's name is Ms. Paradigm. Second, love the end notes and the way that information is incorporated into the story -it's fun for the adult reader as well as the shorties. Third, a fabulous art lesson and interpersonal relationship lesson on perspective. 🎨 ACTIVITY: collect a few familiar objects from around the house (pencil, mug, book, chair, etc) and draw them from one perspective and then change the object to draw from another. You might even make a guessing game and see if other family members can identify which two pictures are the same object! An easier version for your shorters is to take a photo on your phone of two different angles. You can also make this a guessing game with an unfamiliar perspective first with guesses as to what it is followed up with the photo of a more familiar perspective! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 RETURN -Aaron Becker
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas No words but oh what a story. It's HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON for your older shorties. I was hooked. SOOO awesome for storytelling and discussion building with your shorties. And that final picture :') #kidlit #readingrecommendations |
