Mickey and Friends

A Perfect Picnic

 

 

    This book came late but is a cute book so I thought I would share it.  It is a Level 2 Reader for a first grader with help.  Mickey decided he wanted to have a picnic with his friends so he told each of them to make a sandwich, get a drink, and bring their favorite piece of fruit.  Everyone decides while they are making their lunch that there is something that they are bringing they don't really want to share with everyone.  Mickey had said they would trade lunches when they got to the picnic spot.  When everyone gets there Mickey can see his friends are not happy.  So he asks them what is wrong and they tell him they don't want to trade lunches.  Minnie sees that Mickey is disappointed so she says she will share her lunch with Mickey.  Then Goofy, Donald, and the rest decide they could share their fruit but everyone brought a different fruit.  They all want to know how they can share that.  Mickey comes up with a good way and everyone decides it was the perfect picnic.  Read this book with your child or grandchild and enjoy it.  Really cute book.

    This is a great board book for young children.  It has really colorful pictures and a short story about the bugs getting together for a picnic.  This is a great book to read with a young child. Join the bugs and critters for a one-of-a-kind picnic.

 

 

 

 

Ants at the Picnic

   This is such a cute book about counting by 10's.  The picnic is all set up and there are lots of food and lots of ants.  They start with 100 ants and count down to 0 with 10 ants taking something from the picnic such as the potato salad, chocolate cake, and even poor Aunt Helen.  It has great pictures and sure would help a child learn to count by tens.  It also has some resources at the end of the book such as www.facthound.com for special sites to use.  It is also an I Spy book in that numbers are on each thing that is carried away by the ants.  I would recommend this book for those wanting to help a child learn how to count by tens. Cute book!!!
