Un Beso en Mi Mano

Audrey Penn
Tanglewood Press, Inc., 2006, Picture Book, Libro Illustrado

This a sweet book about a little raccoon that does not want to leave his mom to go to school, so mom finds a sweet way to  make it easy for him to go to school and still feel connected with her. I thought it was a very sweet book, the illustrations are bright and helpful to tell this sweet tale. A must read to your little ones who are embarking on this new and sometimes uneasy time in their life.

Este libro es muy tierno, acerca de un pequeƱo mapache que esta teniendo problemas de despegar de su mama para ir a la escuela, su mama encuentra una manera muy tierna de ayudarlo y a la ves que  se senta ligado a ella unque este fuera de casa. Me encantó este libro lleno de ternura hacia su cachorrito para hacerlo sentir bien y ayudarlo a sentirse seguro donde quiera que este. Este libro es recomendable para todos , pero especialmente para familias con niƱos de edad de ir a la escuela, y que no se sienten muy seguros.

Funny Farm by Mark Teague 2009

There are things I liked about Mark Teague's newest book, Funny Farm , and things I didn't like. Where should I start? I'll do the "didn'ts" first. The illustrations show animals personified. Well, some of the animals are. The main characters, Edward, and his farm family relatives, all dogs, are humanized. They stand upright, do farm chores, eat at a table, wear clothes, knit (yes, with paws) and sleep in beds. Most everybody else on and around the farm, who are also animals, act like animals. They are outside, roll in mud, live in the barn, and require care from their owners. It struck me the most on the page spread where there are pigs playing in puddle in the rain and Edward, a black and white boxer, watches from inside the house. I thought "You're a dog! Go play with them!" But, alas, he can't, seeing as how he goes through his entire visit to the farm wearing a suit and red bow tie. Another picture that bothered me was the maple syrup pa...

Dude, That's Rude! (Get Some Manners) by Pamela Espeland & Elizabeth Verdick

If there's one book today's kids need to read, it is Dude, That's Rude! (Get Some Manners) . The authors provide a fun format for teaching etiquette to children. They discuss proper behavior at home, at school, at other people's homes and in public places. The information is completely up-to-date with cellphone manners and netiquette included. Fun, cartoony illustrations are on practically every page giving the book great visual appeal. This book is perfect for boys and girls in the fourth grade or older. WARNING: Bodily functions are discussed.

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin Illustrated by Leslie Evans Charlesburg; 2009; unpaged Faces of the Moon is a short nonfiction book that describes the different phases of the moon and why the moon appears like it does on certain nights. This book is short and sweet so even the youngest of moon lovers will enjoy it. The layout is simplistic and easy to follow. I don’t know much about the moon so I found it very interesting.
