Happy Reading!!!

Howdy Friends!!

How is everyone today?  It is another rainy cool day in my "neck of the woods." :) Also, just one day left for school here.  SO the children will be ready to enjoy their summer vacations.  Parents and grandparents are you ready??? I hope it will be a great summer for everyone.  Just remember to sign your child or grandchild up for a Summer Reading Program. It will be a fun time for them.

Today I want to share another book by author Greg Foley.  I hope you will check out all 4 of his books that I will review here on the blog.

They are great for young children.

Make A Wish Bear

by

Greg Foley

One evening a little Bear makes a wish on a star and then sits down to wait for it to come true.  One by one his friends come by and offer him advice on how to make his wish come true.   One says,"close your eyes". Another says,"Hold your breath, " and yet another says, "Stand on one foot." 

Does Bear's wish come true?  What was his wish?  Please check out this cute book  about friendship.  Children will love it !!!!

Hello My Friends!

I am sorry I haven't posted in awhile but have had some health issues and so has my daughter.  I do want to get back to doing this though because I enjoy it and I hope you do too.  How is your spring going?  I know school will be out here next week.  So summer break is just around the corner for the children.  I would like to encourage you as parents and grandparents to have your child start a reading program for the summer.  It is so important for young readers especially to keep reading in the summer so they will continue with their reading skills for when school starts again.  They have great programs at the library with exciting incentives for children who read during the summer. As a retired teacher I know how important it is to keep up those reading skills during the summer.  So go to your local library and see what the reading program is and sign up your child.  It will be a rewarding experience for the child.  Reading is so important for children to succeed in school and life.  So please check out the reading programs at the library and also sign up your child for some tutoring if they are having trouble with reading.

It will be worthwhile.  I hope you and your children have a great last week or few weeks of school.
Happy End of School for Summer Break.
Recently, when I was at the library I picked up four books to read and check out.  I did enjoy them and I think young children who like teddy bears will enjoy them too.  The author is Greg Foley and his first book Thank You Bear win the Charlotte Zolotow Award.
I enjoyed his books about Bear.

Thank You Bear

Thank You Bear is a story about true friendship.   A little Bear  gets a little box one morning and  he shows the box to all his friends but only one friend thought the box was great.  The children will enjoy this story and giving them a box to play with and share might be fun too.  SO check out this book and I will review another book about the little Bear this week. So I would suggest that you get all four and read them with your child.

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope everyone had a good weekend and I wanted to finish up with two baseball books.  Anyone go out to the ballgame over the weekend?  I hope you are enjoying some baseball either professional or little league.

This is a great Alphabet Book about baseball. It starts of course with A is for Ace and goes to Z for Strike Zone. It has great pictures and gives a good overview of baseball. So check out this great Alphabet book about baseball at your neighborhood library.  Young children will love it and the great illustrations.

Baseball

by

James Kelley

This book celebrates baseball in pictures, it's history,the heroes, the gear, and the games.  It is a great book to share with a child all the way to adult if they love baseball. I learned many things that I did not know about the game of baseball.  So check it out at your public library.

So I hope you have enjoyed the reviews of some great books about baseball.  So take yourself and your family out to the ballgame and then read some good books about baseball with your children.
