📚 PIRATES ON THE FARM -Denette Fretz, Illust Gene Barretta ☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas I don't usually enjoy books that are "too long" but even my lazy reader kept turning pages because this was so fun! Fun idea. Fun illustrations. Fun characterization. Fun voice. Good moral at the end. #kidlit #recommended #giftideas

📚 CRANBERRY THANKSGIVING -Wende and Harry Devlin
☕️☕️☕️ 3.0 #KristiCocoas Timely! You've either grown up with this book read every Thanksgiving or you've never heard of it! A bit wordy (to my own taste & family situation), but I liked the story and the message. Some good little gem moments and a good discussion about kindness. #kidlit #recommended 📚 A SICK DAY FOR AMOS MCGEE -Philip C. Stead, Illust Erin E. Stead
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Cute cute cute. Kindness repaid and some subtle illustration humor mixed with a very relateable sick day. I am feeling this book today. #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 + 🎨 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 📚 KING HUGO'S HUGE EGO -Chris Van Dusen
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Well done rhyme to fit the story and a silly way to explore consequences of ego. Illustrations also add a fun note as well. Maybe for some older picture book readers as it is a little long but will definitely be enjoyed! #kidlit #recommendedreading |
