Adventures for Kids for All Ages
My book pick for May is, Oliver’s Vegetables by Vivian French and illustrated by Alison Bartlett.
Do you like chips? Oliver won’t eat anything else – until he plays a game with his grandpa. Whatever vegetable Oliver finds in the garden, he must eat.
Ages 3-6
My book pick for April is, Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts and illustrated by Noah Z. Jones
All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. Though Jeremy’s grandma says they don’t have room for “want,” just “need,” when his old shoes fall apart at school, he is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has — warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend — are worth more than the things he wants.
Ages 4-7
My book pick for March is, Goggles and the Teddy Bears’ Picnic written by Jonathan Gunson and illustrated by Richard Robinson.
The Honey Bees give Goggles The Flying Bear a Teddy Bears’ Picnic with LOTS of honey! If you go out in the woods today, you’ll be sure of a BIG surprise! Goggles rescues the Honey Bees when their beehive is blown over by a storm. The bees reward him with a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, with honey for the whole bear family.
When the Honey Bees lose their beehive, Goggles and the bears build them a new BEEHIVE PALACE – the most beautiful beehive ever. The noise of hammering and banging fills the air as builder bear, electrician bear, glazier bear, plumber bear, and roofing bear race to finish it before sundown. Kids will love singing the “Growly, Growly” song as builder bears build the palace.
Ages 3-7
