Julia Donaldson, her works are worth discovering

My friend Daniel shared this poem by Julia Donaldson with me. It is sweet. I told him, she is one of my favorite picture book authors!

Meaningful circles

This beautiful book is all about circles. Seeking the shape of circles is the low level of the book. The high level of the book is recognizing the circles or cycles in nature and life and the world. The protagonist is learning from the wisdom and experience of her grandfather. Precious! It is very exciting that this is the first picture book for the author and illustrator who are friends.

Adorable

Beaver, Bear, and Moose think they are all ready for Christmas until they realize they are sans tree! They go out into the woods searching for one and Bear has a difference of opinion with Beaver and Moose. In the end, clever problem solving leads to a happy ending. Part of a series by Nicholas Oldland called LIVE IN THE WILD I am eager to seek out more!

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.
