Poetry in motion

Gorgeous! The words and pictures are perfectly married. When a snowflake lands on fox's nose he needs to check out what he should be doing in winter. He speaks with several animals who explain THEIR methods but it is not until he meets a fellow fox that he understands his (and their) role. I adore this book!

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.
