I am a Librarian and created this blog to share my love of children's books with the rest of the world. I will include my comments on children's books that I love and have shared with others.
I have shared many of these books with my students during storytime when I was the Librarian at the St. Benedict the Moor K to 8 school.Ida A.

<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: purple;"><b>Let's Go to the Library</b> is an excellent introduction to the library for small children. The sentences are short. The pictures are colorful and fun!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">The colors are very child friendly., With lots of purples, greens, red, blue, and orange. The book begins with "Library Trip... When I need a book or a movie, where can I go? To the library! What else will I find there?"</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">There are very large pictures on each page with short text on the page before. There is a Glossary at the end as well as Read More, Internet Sites, and an Index.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">This delightful, engaging, fun introduction to the libraries should be included in every school, pre-school, and public library or where ever there are small children to acquaint them to the library.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">I am looking forward to using this book for my pre-school and kindergarten students next week.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I discovered the most interesting colorful book that I want to share with you. </span></div>
</div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">For someone who delights in bright, lively, engaging colors, I was so excited to have come upon this wonderful book.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">"What is it like to be an artist? Where does inspiration come from? (And where do you look for your art supplies?)"</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Having illustrated 35 picture books and wrote 25, this one is about Lois Ehlert's fun and creative life. She opens the doors and invites us in through this delightful must-read book!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">How can you not love a book that begins with a large picture of a frog on the left page and on the right page the words in VERY large colorful print "DON'T READ THIS BOOK (unless you love books and art)!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Then into her life story we go...</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">"When I was little, I read all of the books on the library shelf, and I thought maybe someday I could make a book."</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">She shares pictures of herself, her grandparents, her parents, her home, and her assortment of goodies that she finds along the way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Anyone who LOVES animals, fun text, bright colors, recycling, and making art out of unusual objects including scraps, and wants to design a picture book, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">She even walks us through how to make a bird treat and a cat mask step-by-step! But you will have to read the book for the recipe and cat mask instructions!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">However, her adventures continue with:</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">"I use odd tools to create texture; I spatter paint with a toothbrush or rub a crayon over my grater.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Sometimes I go for a walk, looking for good stuff. Grab apples from a tree near my grocery store that I used as the cat's nose in Boo to you. Black locus seedbeds found in the park that I used as mouse tails in Boo to you. Pumpkin seeds I used for the cat's teeth in Boo to you!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Mother Nature gives me free art supplies!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">She walks us through the whole process of writing and illustrating a children's book. What a gem!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I would recommend this "outstanding... one of a kind... masterpiece to everyone of all ages who love art! This book will make a great addition to any school, nursery school, pre-school, public, home, or any type of library where people young and old can appreciate this delightfully fun work of art!</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>ONCE UPON A TIME IN PENCIL SCHOOL,</b> a teacher named Ms. 2 told her class, "Today we're going to write a story." </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">So begins a hilarious and exuberant retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood," in which a brave little red pencil finds her way through the many perils of story-telling, faces a ravenous pencil sharpener (the Wolf 3000) ... and saves the day.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">JOSEPH BOULOGNE, LOVED MUSIC: the singing of birds, the beat of drums, the peal of church bells -- and most of all, the the soaring notes of his violin.
But as the son of a white plantation owner and a black slave, newly arrived in France from the West Indies, what chance did Joseph have for success with his music?

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><i>If you plant a carrot seed.. a carrot will grow. If you plant a cabbage seed of kindness ... or selfishness?<b> </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Once in a while there is a book that is so well written and the pictures are so spectacular that you just can't put it down... You find yourself looking at it over and over and over again... Such is the case for Kadir Nelson's new book "If You Plant a Seed!" In this delightfully created book, a rabbit and bunny plant seeds and nurture them and they grow... before they know it... As they are enjoying the plush rich fruits of their labor... Guess who come to eat?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">They have a host of birds fly in to share their newly grown treats.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Guess what happens?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You will have to read the book for the rest of the story....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">I have shared this book with so many adults and children...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">It just brings a wide smile to my face every time that I pick up the book!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">The pictures are so realistic that you feel like you are there sharing in the activities... whether good or bad...You know immediately what emotion each animal is conveying. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Nelson's pictures are so breathtakingly gorgeous, and rich!!!!!! The details for each animal are very accurate and awe-inspiring! I was so shocked and mesmerized by the beauty of this book that I wanted more and so I went to his web site and have been sharing the link to others ever since.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">This book is a must read for anyone who loves children's books. This is one of the best of the bunch that I have ever read.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I highly recommend this book to all homes, school, public, private, and day care libraries! You won't be disappointed. This book will bring a smile to everyone's face... young and old alike!!!!!!!!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #274e13;">This book really brought a smile to my face. I giggled as I shared it with others. Even though the pictures and text are fun to read and look at it, this book does tell a serious story of how we have been polluting our environment and what we can do to save the planet! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Even though this book is geared for younger children. I enjoyed reading this book and learned a great deal as well.</span></span><br />

This is a great book for story time. It will keep the little ones engaged and laughing.....</span></span><br />
