Book Review: Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go?

Bald Man wrote a bit about this book a few months back, and then my kids found it at the library. The oldest thought the cover was hilarious and had to bring it home.
Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go? by Joe O’Connor, illustrated by Henry Payne, shares a fun story of little Jeremiah and […]

Storytime at the Library: If you’re happy and you know it, The Jungle Edition

We were back to the library today for storytime and were introduced to a fun book entitled If You’re Happy And You Know It: The Jungle Edition. You can probably get the gist of the storyline, but there are “jungle specific” indicators of happiness throughout the book for parents and kids to exhibit together. […]

Math Matters: Count on Pablo

We missed our storytime at the library yesterday, being that it was a holiday and all, so we had our own little storytime at home today (not an uncommon occurrence).
One of the books that the kids brought out was Count on Pablo from the Math Matters Series. I can’t say that I’m even sure […]

Storytime at the Library: The Watering Hole

The theme for our library’s summer reading program this year is pirates, and so all of the books from this week’s storytime had some type of water or sea theme. My favorite of the bunch was The Water Hole by Graeme Base.
I’d never read one of Base’s books, and when I mentioned to […]

In front of a group of a few hundred kids, Junie B. came out and shared treasures from her Big Pink Trunk of Junk. She was a little […]

Storytime at the Library: Yard Sale!

There aren’t many stories read at the library’s storytime that get me to say, “No way!” Okay, so I didn’t actually say it out loud, but I was thinking it! That happened at the very beginning of the book Yard Sale!, written and illustrated by Mitra Modarressi. The line, specifically, was, “One […]

Storytime at the Library: The 108th Sheep

I’ve never been good at falling right to sleep. I was going to say that I’ve never been a good sleeper, but that would be entirely untrue. Once I’m asleep, I think I could sleep for days. The falling asleep, however, has never come easy for me. My sister and Bald […]

How to Speak Moo! by Deborah Fajerman

I love fun books that encourage a little silliness when they’re being read, and this is one of those fun books!
We try to hit storytime at the library each week. The kids love the songs and dances and the animated ways that the children’s librarian reads the stories to them. Every once in […]

Storytime at the Library: The End

This week during storytime at the library, we were introduced to a fun book with a unique twist on the telling of a fairytale.
The End, written by David LaRochelle and illustrated by Richard Egielski, begins with…you guessed it…the end. The kids at storytime giggled with the silliness of the story and loved shouting out […]

The Seven Continents of the World Jigsaw Book

My daughter’s been enjoying her copy of The Seven Continents of the World Jigsaw Book.
The book contains colorful illustrations of each of the seven continents of the world (but you could’ve figured that out now, couldn’t you? :P ). Each of the 7 puzzles is made up of 48 pieces, and the images include […]
