📚+🎁 Book recommendation along with a gift/stocking stuffer idea that could go with it! 📚CARING FOR YOUR LION -Tammi Sauer, Illust Troy Cummings ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas You're reading the instruction manual that comes with the pet lion and that in itself is fun but pair it with the illustrations and it is hilarious. All the shorties loved it and it is a re-read book for sure. So fun! #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 📚 PRANCING DANCING LILY -Marsha Diane Arnold, Illust John Manders
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas As I’m prepping for my dance class, this feels like an appropriate post. A dancing cow. I mean really, what more do you need? Lily just needed to find her place (maybe one place too many -would have preferred just a page or two shorter) but I loved the way the story played out. A little world exploring through dance. Illustrations are also worth mentioning! #kidlit #recommended 📚 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 📚PAINTING PEPETTE -Linda Ravin Lodding, Illust Claire Flectcher
☕️☕️ 2.0 #KristiCocoas The artist in me appreciated this book. I'm not sure the littlest shorties could sit through it, as it is a bit wordy, but it's such a fun idea. And you might even recognize a few famous artists from history! It was a mouthfull at first, but the consonance became fun in my mouth. #kidlit #recommended ACTIVITY IDEAS: Try looking up some works of these artists as you read! Compare the bunny version to their quintessential works! Have all the shorties try drawing the same object (turkey, pumpkin, stuffed animal, flower, etc.) and talk about how they don't have to be the same and they can still be good! 📚 THE GREAT INDOORS -Julie Falatko, Illust Ruth Chan
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas A funny flip on the situation and I found it hilarious and relatable. I was grateful that I live indoors and then grateful that I can get outdoors as well. Kids loved the voices. #kidlit #readingrecommendations |
