Hello My Friends!!!

How is your day going?  Is it snowing in your neck of the woods?  It is 42 here today and cloudy but no snow and it doesn't  look like any next week either but I am not complaining.  We are having great weather for January in the midwest. I am reading some good books this week though.  I just read two great children's books today that I haven't read before.  I thought I would share one today and one tomorrow or Saturday.

 What are you reading this week?  Please share in the comments section below something you are enjoying reading.  I would love to hear from you.

I know if you have children or grandchildren that you have had the talk about sharing with them.  Sharing is a concept that some children are great with and some never seem to learn the lesson well.  The book I am going to share today is about sharing and would be a great book for young children.  It has great illustrations too.  I hope you will share it with a child. :)

Little Snowman Stan

Can't We Share?

by

Guido Van Genechten

Little Snowman Stan lives in Freezeland with all the snowmen.   There is always snow and it is cold in Freezeland.  All the snowmen in Freezeland do wear hats of all shapes and sizes.  Snowman Stan has a beautiful blue plaid hat on his head. One day there arrives in Freezeland a snowman with a bare head.  Little Stan asks the snowman where his hat is.  Dimitri, the snowman says on his way to Freezeland there was a big snowstorm and he lost his hat and he looked for hours and never found it.  Little Stan feels bad for Dimitri so he tells him that he can wear his hat for a couple of days.  Dimitri is so happy and thanks him.

One day Little Stan realizes that Dimitri has had his blue plaid hat for 10 days so he goes to ask Dimitri if he can have his hat back.  Dimitri doesn't want to give it back to Little Stan.  So Little Stan goes away and cries. Little Stan goes to talk Alfred about his hat and what he should to.  Little Stan tells Alfred about what happened to his blue plaid hat.  Alfred calls all the snowmen together and tells them about Little Stan's hat and asks them what they think could be done so Little Stan could have a hat too. There are many responses but no one says what Alfred hoped they would say.  The Little Stan says, "We can share my hat."

Read the book and find out how they decide to share the hats for the snowmen in Freezeland.

This is a wonderful book about sharing with great illustrated snowmen.  What child doesn't love snowmen?  This is a great book to share with a child about sharing.

Check out the books that Guido Van Genechten has written for children.  The author is from Holland.

These two are really cute books.
