NEXT! Please by Christopher Inns

NEXT! Please by Christopher Inns


I just read the most adorable book that I want to share with you all...

 


NEXT! Please by Christopher Inns









ONE EYE TED has lost his eye! 

Woolly Sheep has become unraveled! 

Wonderhorse wonders where his wheel went, and the whole gang needs help! 

Luckily, these ailments are all in a day's work for Doctor Hopper and her trusty nurse, Rex Barker.

Together, these toy-repair experts knit, glue, and counsel their loveable patients back to health while proving that laughter is still the best medicine.

*********************************************

This is one of the most creatively written books that I have ever read!
The colors are bright and happy! The sentences are short and fun!!!!!!!!!!

I love the eye chart. How brilliant!

This warm and fuzzy book is a must read for all children (adults too) who love happy cuddly friendly animal stories! I absolutely LOVE this book! I am looking forward to adding it to my collection::))

This is a must have for all home, school, public, day care, and private libraries............


Happy reading....................

Until the next time...........................................................

by Marion Elliot





Now that Summer is fast approaching and children will be out of school soon and it's time to clear out the junk from our houses, let's think of some great inexpensive or free activities that are engaging, fun, educational, and save our environment...

The new book "Recycled Craft Projects For Kids: 50 Things to make from junk, shown step by step in over 400 photographs" is a great source for activities for children.

This book is an excellent source for creating many fun, easy-to-follow crafts that children young and old can create using recycled materials

The book contains the following:
  • Introduction
  • Recycling
  • Materials and Equipment
  • Techniques
  • Quick and Easy Ideas
  • Templates
  • Toys and Puppets
  • Wild West Ranch
  • Cowboys
  • Space Station

******************************************

Can you imagine creating cowboys "ready to ride on their dappled horses?" They are made from old-fashioned wooden pegs and other items.... They are in here...

******************************************

How about a Paper-plate Cat Mask  or an Indoor Snowstorm or a Radical Robot or Paper-bag Animal Mask or Space Cat or Television Set or Fruit Machine or Tambourine or Drum or Nail Chimes or Groovy Guitar or Cardboard Frame or Papier-Mache Bowl or Rolled-Paper Beads or Nature Box.

You will find the directions for all of these activities and more in this easy-to-read and follow book!
the books is divided into great categories so that if you are interested in creating a Groovy Guitar, you can refer to the "Games, Instruments and Objects" section. If you are interested in the creating all manner of Christmas decorations, you can search the "Adornments and Decorations" section.

Mama and Me by Arthur Dorros and Pictures by Rudy Gutierrez

"VÁmanos," MamÁ says. 
"Let's go!"
Together we garden and bake.
We bike and paint a mural,
colorful and bright.
I do some things sola,
all by myself.
MamÁ says, "¡Perfecto!"—
just perfect!
With MamÁ, I feel like a girasol,
a sunflower, tall and proud."VÁmanos," MamÁ says.

Meet Me at the Moon by Gianna Marino





"When Mama Elephant must leave Little One to ask the skies for rain, the young elephant is worried. Who will care for Little One? Who will sing Mama's special songs? When will she return? "







Lots of Moms by Shelley Rotner and Sheila M. Kelly


"Each mom is different and special-but moms are alike in many ways too. They teach you ... take care of you ... play with you ... and they always love you."








A Mom Like No Other by Christine Taylor-Butler





"I listen to rap music. Mom dances to pop." Though they’re different, it’s clear they’re best friends."
