LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

So thoughtfully and compassionately crafted. I highly recommend this book!

Life is Beautiful storytime

Hello! Today I did a "Life is Beautiful" storytime.
These are the three books I used and in this order!

Xs and Os

Last week I did a story time about "kisses" and today I did a story time about "hugs".
There are many lovely picture books, with good story lines, about these two topics.

Sweetness!

A little bit of culture shock (Seal is French after all); a little bit of self-expression (Seal loves to smooch); a little bit of the longing to belong (Seal takes some time away from the other zoo animals). I loved the simplicity of this book which still addressed complicated issues! Lovely and sweet.

LOVE! A sequel from Eric Carle

Love! "So remember, just like you...even a grouchy ladybug...needs hugs and kisses too!" Amen!

A little French

Welcome to Chez Chapeaux for the allure of hats to "glam" up your look. Unforced rhymes tell the story of Emily, Ashley, Kaitlyn and Claire who plan a tea party for their moms replete with invites and a fashion show of sorts. Great for AMERICAN GIRL fans.

Buoyant!

I love this uncomplicated view of the joys of a farm in the middle of summer. The words and images are buoyant. Bonus: A great lesson in the parts of the day, heralded by the sun, from dawn to dusk.
