Well, you know, I think it would be hard to get too much of Sandra Boynton. That being said I don’t like ALL of her books, just most of them!
I’d like to tell you I have a deep reason for liking this one. But, I don’t! It is just plain CUTE! I have found in [...]
A friend recently posted about toddler books that depict children from different parts of the world. I am caucasian and my husband and daughter are asian. Various other family members are various other …ian’s, so books that my daughter can identify with are really important to me.
I have no idea in the whole world where [...]
I loved the Duck & Goose book about opposites so could hardly wait until this one came out. I finally got my copy – opened it up – and thought…hmmmm not what I expected.
The same great duck and goose images were there, but the one word descriptions of feelings didn’t seem to be adequate. My [...]
If you guessed straight off that THIS book was a phonics book – well, you’d be right. I have raided my bookshelves at work for books for Jun to read, and there are, therefore, too many phonics books to count. As Jun is not yet reading these books herself, I “get” to read them again [...]
We got this puzzle as a present when Jun was 1 1/2. It was beyond her and my abilities then, but, I found it before going home to the States for Christmas last year and took it along. Junnie and Grammy and Grandpa ALL loved this puzzle. Each of the adults tried to get it [...]
Jun got her very own computer (Leap’s Phonics Pond) for Christmas. Grammy found it at a recycle shop and got it for a steal. Of course, being the knowledgeable parents we are – or are not – we didn’t know exactly how much of a steal till I checked it out on Amazon. Nice $50 [...]
What can I say??? I love this book! Growing up, we had the full version and I loved each page of it. Especially the phrase “I think I can!”
I wanted to share the message of “I think I can!” with the Mamas and Kids in my Toddler’s class. However, the full story would have been [...]
We have really been going to the dogs around here! HA! This is the current craze at our house. We actually have The Complete Adventures of Big Dog and Little Dog! It has five stories in it. This book has so many things going for it!
The stories are short and cute.
The illustrations are colorful and [...]
Jun’s fascination with dogs is growing, so I decided to raid my stash of English kids books and see if she was ready for my prized “Go, Dog. Go!” I remember this book as a child. I loved the trees. Do you know what kind of trees they are???? The book is 64 pages long. I didn’t think [...]
When I first (or second) lived in Japan, I was walking down a very narrow pathway between houses to get to church. I met a DOG! A yapping dog. I spoke to that dog in English. That dog did not understand English, and was not impressed that I could speak it. I thought, “Even the [...]
