📚 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 📚 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 📚+🥔 JAMIE O’ROURKE AND THE BIG POTATO -AN IRISH FOLKTALE -Tomie dePaola
☕️☕️☕️☕️4.0 #KristiCocoas 📚This is one from my youth that I still remember thinking “but he never learned his lesson!” and I still think that but almost love the story more for that! Lots of good character analysis even for your shorties to do in this one! 🥔Activity Ideas: •Online Read-aloud version to listen to during your St. Patrick’s party or while doing one of the activities below! https://youtu.be/g4eJxJ5v3rk •How long could you survive on potato? Look up how many different dishes can be made with potato and try making a new one! •If you caught a leprechaun, what would you want with your pot of gold? Make a large batch of some mashed potatoes (bonus: dye them green for fun!) and sculpt what you’d spend your gold on! •Leprechaun traps! Look online for ideas! *Yours truly was able to visit Dublin and, as a self proclaimed author, I have to brag that I saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College! #kidlit #recommendedreading #PB ”The Nian Monster” by Andrea Wang, illus Alina Chau = ☕️☕️☕️3.5 #KristiCocoas
This beautiful book may have some unfamiliar names, but presents a story your child will understand and introduce some of the Chinese culture and celebrations surrounding the new lunar year! It is also a good example of the intelligence and resourcefulness of children! #kidlit #PB #LunarNewYear *Bonus! Yours truly has been to China and to Yu Garden that’s mentioned in the book! Absolutely beautiful! |
