Happy Monday Everyone!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to enjoy the beautiful fall trees and read a good book.  I have started reading Christmas books.  I will have to share some of them with you as Christmas approaches.  Today I am going to share a favorite book that I loved reading to my Kindergartners and First graders.  It is Corduroy's Thanksgiving by Don Freeman.  This is a classic book and all my students loved every Corduroy book that I read to them and there are quite a few of them out there.  So check Corduroy out at your public library or bookstore.  They are all so good.  Besides I love bears and Corduroy is one of my favorite bears.

Corduroy's Thanksgiving

by

Don Freeman

 

Corduroy is getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner and he has invited all his friends. He gets busy cooking and cleaning before his friends come over.  They go to the parade.  After the parade they have dinner and before they eat each person tells what they are thankful for.  After dinner they run outside to play football and enjoy being together.  Before everyone leaves they have dessert and then say goodbye.  It is a really cute book and you could share other Corduroy books with your little ones as the week goes by.  The first Corduroy is my favorite so you could even start with it.  Enjoy reading Corduroy and have your child get their teddy bear out to hold as you read.  Hope you enjoy the Corduroy books and see you next time with more Thanksgiving books.

Boo!

Happy Monday Everyone!

 

I just came back from the library and I didn't get any of my Halloween books so I thought today I would share a couple of cat books.  Cats are associated with Halloween.  Well at least black cats.  I don't have a black cat but I do have a beautiful black and white cat.  He loves the sun and stretching out in front of the sliding glass door.  We really do enjoy having him as part of our family.  So if your are a cat lover this is a post for you.  Happy Reading!!!

If Cats Could Talk

by

Michael P. Fertig

 

     This book has the cutest pictures of cats and the author has written captions for every picture in the book.  He calls it the Meaning of Meow.  It really is a cute book about cats and how funny and adorable they can be.  Check it out at your favorite bookstore.  You will enjoy it.

 

 

 

A Taste of Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul

by

Jack Canfield and Victor Hansen

 

 

This is another one of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.  This one has wonderful stories about cats.  Some of them are really amazing stories of cats and how they do help us humans.

There is the story about Lazer the seal point Siamese cat who becomes a Pet Partner with his owner and they go to children's hospitals and to nursing homes and even work with Hospice.  I love Siamese cats.  I have had two of them and my mother had two.   Also, a story about Ringo, the red tabby who saves the lives of his owners warning them of a gas leak in their home.  My favorite story in the book though was Elvis Has Left the Building.  It is a wonderful story of the love of a woman and her cat Elvis.  I could share all the stories but you need to read them.  I know you will enjoy everyone of them.  I love these books.  Check one out at your bookstore soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is our cat.  He likes to see what I am typing.  He even watches the screen sometimes.  Enjoy your cat today and everyday.  I am sure they are a member of your family just like Hotshot is in our family.

Happy Friday Everyone!

 

I still haven't received any more of my Halloween books so today I am going to list a few of my favorites.  I would suggest going to the library or bookstore and finding some of these to share with your child before the big day on Thursday.

 

Happy Halloween!

See everyone Monday and hope each of you have a great weekend.  I hope you find some of these to read this weekend.

Hello Friends

 

 

Just a week before the big day for all children.  The night when children dress up like their favorite characters.  I have a cute book today that young children will enjoy and those who have started reading should be able to read it on their own.  At the end of the book is a Halloween activity that children can do while they are waiting for the big day.  Hope you enjoy sharing it with your child or grandchild before Halloween.

Max & Mo's

Halloween Surprise

by

Patricia Lakin

 

     The students in Max and Mo's classroom are getting ready for Halloween by making masks.  Max and Mo are two cute hamsters who live in the classroom in a hamster cage. After the children go home from school Max and Mo are bored so they decide to jump out of the cage and make some masks too.  Mo has been making chains from the newspaper in their cage so they pile the chains together and climb out of the cage.  They see the masks that the children have made and they want to make some too.  They find the masks in a book and then look for the materials.  They read in the book that they need crayons, scissors, paintbrushes and paint and a white piece of cloth.  They work hard on the Halloween project and end up with a mask and a costume.  Check out the book to find out what Max and Mo make for their Halloween.

 

   It is a really cute book and at the end it tells the child how to make a Mask from a paper plate.  You will just need a paper plate, crayons, tape, scissors, and a piece of paper.  They are very simple and cute.  If I had some paper plates I would make one to show.  Check out the book before Halloween.  See you  and enjoy reading.

Happy Halloween

by

Rosemary Wells

 

It's Halloween and Max is determined to scare Ruby but no matter how hard he tries, nothing seems to do the trick.  He tried fangs, rubber-spiders, rubber worms, or jumping out of a closet and saying BOO. None of those scared Ruby.  Read Happy Halloween to find out who gets scared.  It is a cute book for young children.  Check it out at the nearest bookstore or Wal-Mart.

 

Also, check out Ruby and Max on tv at Nick Jr.

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

 

 

Check out all the Ruby and Max books by Rosemary Wells.  She has written quite a few about Max and Ruby.  These are great books for young children.  I am sure they will enjoy them.  See you next time my friends.  Please leave me a comment if you would like.  I would love to hear from you.

 

 



 

 

 

Friday is Here!

 

 

I am having trouble getting my Halloween books from the library.  I think kids and parents want the same books that I want.  That is a good thing though.  That means kids must like them.  So today I am going to post some quotes about Fall.  I hope to have more Halloween books by Monday.  I hope you will enjoy the pictures and sayings.  I hope each of you have a great weekend and enjoy the lovely fall weather wherever you are.  Happy reading!

See you Monday my friends.  Keep reading to the children and for yourself too!
