STELLAR STORIES: Beastly Puzzles : a brain-boggling animal guessing game


By: Rachel Poliquin
Toronto, On : Kids can press, 2019. Informational.

If you enjoy fun engaging informational books this is the book for you. Look at some simple items from around your house and then try and guess what animal would use something like a hammer. For example, what animal would use a file, glue, oil, silver thread, 4 sewing pins, a thimble and one foot?  A garden snail. If you lift the flap you can learn all kinds of interesting facts about this common garden animal. Did you know that snail slime is  like glue, it helps the snail stick so it can hang upside down? This same slime also works like oil and helps it to slide where it needs to go.

This book is full of stellar animal facts that are presented in an appealing way with its puzzle game approach to learning. The animal clues are illustrated with classic illustrations that don't give away any answers, so with some guessing and discussion you could try to predict what is hidden behind the flap or just turn the page to reveal the answer. Snatch up a copy of this book and begin the brain-boggling guessing game.

Painting for Peace in Ferguson

Painting for Peace in Ferguson By Carol Swartout Klein Treehouse Publishing Group, 2015. Nonfiction. When the city of Ferguson was overrun with so much hate and despair that homes and businesses had to be boarded up to protect property, citizens of the community decided to bring a message of hope by painting the boarded windows. Klein’s rhyming text supports the photographs of the hundreds of artists and volunteers and their artwork as they bring the messages of peace, hope, love, and that by being united they can make a difference. A great book to show children how a community rallied to make a positive change and that even a small gesture can make a huge difference. A great discussion opener on how we should treat each other.

We get to read about Toasty, the goldfish who loves to eat cheese puffs, Ivy, a plant with magical powers, and Arthur, the spider who ends up with a broken leg. Jillian is the main human character in the book. She loves Toasty and Ivy, and would probably love Arthur, too, but she doesn't know about him....yet. Her parents own an antique shop, but they are facing some economic hardship.  This charming story is about magic, teamwork, and friendship. I loved that there were all kinds of shenanigans happening. While we are on a journey where the fish, the plant, the spider, and the girl are working to solve one mystery after another, the author beautifully guides us to the realization that words are powerful, friendships can heal hearts, and books have their own magic power to help in all kinds ...
