Inspiring Bookworms

Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See . It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

Ever have one of these days? I love days like this. Exploring and learning where imagination ( with a little prompting ) inspires further curiosity. Ever try to recognize those white puffy clouds into something you know and just, well, can't? I can only imagine how the title of this book came to be. It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw While reading, I would say, "Sometimes it looked like a" and before I could say whatever it was, my kids would blurt it out laughing and giggling. While I finished, "But it wasn't a ...". It didn't matter. We were laughing the whole way through. Again. And again. And again. And when I hinted that I'd had enough by saying, "Ok, what's next?" They stopped laughing. LOL I've had to extend my library loan to the max and we have to take it back tomorrow. Not LOL. So, we'll be adding this one to our wish list. thankyouverymuch Anyway, even though it's recommended for children 4-8, go...

While my son and I were at the library today, we found this fun little board book.  It's a little sing a long to the tune...  you guessed it. During story time his sisters loved it too, so we'll be getting more Wee Sing Board Books. Looking forward to 'em. Here is a quick link to learn more about this book and others in the series. Happy Reading!

Freight Train by Donald Crews (Ages 4-8) This is a delightful, short and sweet, fast moving, very colorful "freight train" in a board book!  Not to mention, it's a 1979 Caldecott Honor Book.  It exihibits all colors of the rainbow and describes many types of train cars.  We had tons of fun with this one! Happy Reading!
