I do it! I do it! LET meeeeee doooooo it!!!!!
Jumping up and down on the verge of tears.

Wait honey, let me help you.
Trying to finish helping her little sister... doing whatever. Brush teeth. Comb hair. Pour milk, juice, etc...

No! I do it, myself!

Ever get that?

If you have little ones fighting for their independence, you get me. If not, well, then maybe you do, maybe you don't.

If you do, you and your little freedom fighters will love this cute Little Critter story, All by Myself by Mercer Mayer.
Mercer Mayer's Little Critter stories, which address all major issues of growing up, are perennial favorites of parents and children.
Yep, I'd have to agree. The littles loved the story and ask for it again and again for story time.

If you'd like more fun beyond story time or to incorporate with story time, go to Little Critter's website here.

Ever since we read Tiger, Tiger , my son gets excited about any books that have Tigers, so I couldn't resist on picking this one up for him. Home for a Tiger Home for a Bear by Brenda Williams and Illustrated by Rosamund Fowler (Ages 4-8) Rhyming lyrics throughout the story of types of animals and what habitat you can find them in is quite fun.  "Leaping tiger, eyes like glass.  Likes to hide in jungle grass."  or "Shiny, slippery, slimy snail.  Has a shell for head and tail....

Life's a Journey

By
"Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift; that is why we call it the present." ~Unknown Until now, this blog has served primarily as my place to keep track of books that I and the kids have read, in addition to reviews for Thomas Nelson . One of my mini goals in life is to inspire my children to have a passion and love for reading and learning. That will not change moving forward, however, I'm adding an additional subject matter. It fits right in actually. For sometime, I've been researching the ins/outs/ howtos of homeschooling. By definition, to homeschool , homeschooler or homeschooling simply states to educate one's children at home instead of sending them to school . As a family, we've been educating our children since birth. ABC's, 123's, pottie training, please & thank yous, self care, etc... Why does it seem for far fetched to continu...

Children's Classics - Christmas

By
It's that time for the Children's Classics carnival over at 5 Minutes for Books .  This month's theme is about Christmas or the December Holiday you celebrate with your family and the books you share with your children.  Follow along or join in, either way it's tons of fun! As a child, we didn't read many books at home.  Actually, I don't remember any until I was old enough to check them out myself at the school library.  Instead, over Christmas, we watched the much loved programs like Frosty the Snowman , Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer , Santa Claus is Coming to Town and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I still love to watch these programs and am sharing them with my children although they don't seem to be very interested. Unfortunately at the time of this posting How the Grinch Stole Christmas still hasn't been made available, so hopefully we'll get it before Christmas for me to share with the little ones .  If not, we'll get next year.  Until t...
