The Best Part of Daddy's Day

I want to tell you about a children's book called The Best Part of Daddy's Day by Claire Alexander today.

Little Bertie wishes he could go to work with his Daddy, but he has to go to school instead.  Bertie wants to be just like his Dad, and when he is on the playground, he thinks he sees his Dad up in the crane.  After school Bertie shares about his day.  Not all of it was good.  Daddy tells him about his day, including the things that went wrong for him.  They both agree their favorite part of the day is when they are together.

This would be a sweet book for your child to read with his/her Daddy and would be good for Father's Day.  I know youngsters will enjoy these pictures of the dogs and machinery at Daddy's workplace in this sweet book.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, Little Bee Books, in exchange for my honest review. Thank you!

Have a day of blessings!
 

Trains, Boats, and Planes

Trains, Boats, and Planes by Peter Curry is a colorfully illustrated board book that features trains, boats, and planes. A couple different types are listed for each.

This would be a good book for toddlers to introduce them to these different types of transportation and expose them to the vocabulary of the names of the vehicles.  The book is very simplistic without any text except for the names of the various vehicles. (On a side note I wasn't sure why there was a period following the name labels on each page since it was only a word and not a sentence.)

The illustrations add to the appeal of this book.

I received this book from the publisher for my honest review. Thank you.

Once I Was a Pollywog

Once I was a pollywog,but now I am a frog.

Once I was a piglet,but now I am a hog.

Once I Was a Pollywog is a fun little board book by Douglas Florian and illustrated by Barbara Bakos.

This is a rhyming book that shows the animals as babies and then as the grown up animals they become.  At the end there is a baby boy.  The animal pictures are cute with the baby on one page and the grown up animal on the next.

My little guy has enjoyed me reading this book to him and likes to growl when we get to the bear page.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review. Thank you.

Messy Molly

Poor Molly!  She is always getting into a mess. Whether it is rain puddles, ice cream cones, or spaghetti, Molly cannot seem to stay clean.  One week she decides to try her hardest not to get dirty because she has a special school program on Saturday.  Will she make it to the program and still be clean?

This is a cute picture book by Jo Williamson. As a teacher I could see it being used in an early elementary classroom to reinforce a lesson on the days of the week. The illustrations throughout the book use only the colors seen on the cover.  This book would be enjoyed by children aged 4-6.

This book was sent to me by the publisher for my honest review.  Thank you.
