Adventures for Kids for All Ages
My book pick for February is Turkey’s Valentine Surprise written by Wendi Silvano and Illustrated by Lee Harper.
Turkey loves nothing better than a good trick…except maybe a good disguise. So for Valentine’s Day, he decides to secretly deliver a card to each of his friends. But when he dresses up as a cat to deliver the purr-fect valentine, he’s quickly found out. It turns out that outsmarting his pals is harder than he thought.
Recommended Ages: 3-7
My book pick for January is Lemonade in Winter written by Emily Jenkins and Illustrated by G. Brian Karas.
A lemonade stand in winter? Yes, that’s exactly what Pauline and John-John intend to have, selling lemonade and limeade–and also lemon-limeade. With a catchy refrain (Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LIMEADE! Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LEMONADE!), plus simple math concepts throughout, here is a read-aloud that’s great for storytime and classroom use.
Recommended Ages: 3-7
My book pick for December is Snow Falls written by Kate Gardner and Illustrated by Brandon James Scott.
Snow softens, snow tricks, snow tracks, snow glows, and snow snows and snows and snows, transforming a small village into a winter wonderland. A girl and her dog set out and make the most of every snow-filled moment: sledding, building snowmen and snow forts, making snow angels (and snowdogs), and drinking cocoa by a cozy fire as the snow continues to fall
Recommended Ages: 3-7
My book pick for November is Bear Says Thanks written by Karma Wilson and Illustrated by Jane Chapman.
Bear has come up with the perfect way to say thanks—a nice big dinner! When Bear decides to throw a feast, his friends show up one by one with different platters of delicious food to share. There’s just one problem: Bear’s cupboards are bare! What is he to do?
