Children's Books Of The Week

I read these to my preschoolers this week and they loved them. It is never too early to read to your kids. My class is filled with kids 2-3 years old and they love being read to. Rainy days, a blanket and a clear voice is all these guys needed to sit and listen to three books meant for older kids.

The 411:

Billy Bloo Is Stuck In Goo was definitely a favorite this week. I must have read it at least 12 times. Billy gets himself good and stuck in some green goo substance.  Everyone tries to help but they all get stuck into the goo. The ending had the kids laughing hysterically as well as all the little quotes from the goo folks. Who had to use the loo? Who lost their pants?  It was really cute and I love doing voices for the kids when I read. I could hear them trying to read the story back to each other all week. The moral of the story? The book kept asking if the reader would help Billy, "would you?" My kids were smart enough to say no!

  

The 411:

I loved everything about this empowering book for girls. Princess Truly is an adorable child who wears her hair in fun, colorful ponytails and also wears a purple tutu. BUT, that is not all she is, in her imagination she can be anything. She is a rock star, a doctor, she likes frogs, and climbing trees. She is smart, studious and a high achiever. She is clever, curious and an engineer, etc. YES! YES! YES! Our girls can be anything and the more they believe they can they will achieve. Empowering book for girls and should be read as often as possible.
