Since there is a child in my life why not discuss children's books I have been reading?
Jamie Lee Curtis' (actress, daughter of legendary actors and yogurt spokesperson) books are delightful with their words. I particularly like more crisp visuals with my illustrated/picture books but the use of colour is good.
Our child was gifted these from one of our dear family friends, they said they thought all children should have them. I would say she's right just by the messages in the books.
I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-esteem
As the name implies the topic is of self-esteem, to embrace the so-called flaws and celebrate individuality.
Since I have read the other two more for some reason I became confused as to who was the main person in it as it switches between a boy and girl. But that's just me.
My Brave First Year of Firsts: Tries, Sighs and High Fives
This one my child likes because of a part about having a dog and one of the necessary parts of looking after them. I guess the word poop is good for keeping attention at any age.
Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day
Wonderful for explaining moods (the other one being Happy Hippo, Angry Duck by Sandra Boyton). My child especially likes the face wheel at the end of the book so you can make the face of what the character is feeling. THIS WHEEL IS EVIL WHEN YOU HAVE A TODDLER. There are so many times where I have wanted to cut this page out. Seriously.
Also who has a crush on their teacher when they are in primary school? I know it's for rhyming sakes but still......
These books are wonderful on how they read out loud and the messages they are giving to the Toddler/Preschool age. The rhyming is superb.
