4 Children's Books You And Your Kids Will Enjoy



How It Works by Valorie Fisher - Is probably one of my favorites of the year so far. I love books like this that explain every day items in a fun, colorful, interesting way.

Valorie Fisher takes infographics to a new level with bright, colorful visuals that are perfect for young, inquisitive minds. Her eye-catching mix of photographs and illustrations compels readers to dive in and explore how things work -- from paper airplanes to straws, crayons to kites, pencils to boats.

This book will answer questions kids have long wanted answers to, and go on to answer questions they didn't even know they had! Do you know why your shadow changes shape throughout the day? Do you know how a whistle makes that trilling sound? How about why a rubber ball bounces? All of these questions and more are explained in this exciting book, the first of two in the Now You Know series. With the growing focus on STEM for this early age group, Now You Know How It Works is perfectly timed to reach that early reader and instill a love of STEM from day one.

There are 28 pages of interesting things like:

How to make a paper airplane and boat.
How pencils are made
The parts of a toaster and how it toasts your bread and so much more.

The illustrations are adorable. I love the pup who is just so happy and always in a good mood. He will have you and your little ones in the best of moods. Who can be moody when you are getting hugs? Don't blame me if you find yourself singing this groovy song.

Surprise by Caroline Handilaksono - Bear, Squirrel, and Raccoon have been friends a long time. A loooooooong time. So when a family of city folks comes to the neighborhood, the friends think that a surprise welcome party is just the kind of fun they've been looking for. Well, the party turns out to be quite the surprise indeed, but maybe not exactly what Bear, Squirrel, and Raccoon were imagining?
Laugh-out-loud fun for friends and families of all species.

What a cute book. Bear, Squirrel and Raccoon are so sweet. They want to throw a surprise party for "new friends" (people from the city). They set up the party at the camp site while the family is away all ready for their return. When they return they yell "SURPRISE" which frightens the family away.  Thankfully they left all their stuff so the animals enjoy the party together.

This is the story of a little girl named Goldilocks. Well, that's what it's supposed to be, but there's a problem. When Papa Bear discovers he's inside of a book and there are readers out there looking at him, he gets very nervous and forgets his lines. Poor Papa Bear . . . he has Page Fright!

This book is so cute. I love the concept. My daughter kept saying "WOW they are breaking the fourth wall". We loved all the word bubbles and the fact that papa bear has Page Fright and while Mama, Baby Bear and Goldilocks had no problem with us the reader, Papa Bear was very nervous. He was so nervous that he tried to escape.




We loved the little bees on each page and the illustrations of Papa Bear trying to get out of the book. Very cute!
