Sweet Stories for Baby: A Boxed Board Book Trilogy

-

A basketful of board books was always in the backseat of my car and the family room of my house when my kids were little. Between the birth of my first child and my third, the quality and quantity of boards books available changed greatly. I wrote about this as few years ago in, The Changing Face of Board Books and, even though my youngest is ten now, I still get excited when a great new board book crosses my path. That said, the three books in the Sweet Stories for Baby collection have been around for a while and were favorites of my older children - and illustrated by three of my absolute favorites: Marla Frazee, Helen Oxenbury and Jane Dyer. Best of all, with this set you get three big board books books for the price of two!



Everywhere Babies by Susan Meyers is a sweet celebration of all that it means to be a baby. Frazee's illustrations are jam-packed with details and rich with diversity. There are all kinds of families and all kinds of baby-centric things going on in this memorable book.



Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes is a modern nursery rhyme by the magnificent Mem Fox. Oxenbury's illustrations feature sweet little babies from all over the world who all share the same thing - ten little fingers and ten little toes. Fox ends her rhyme with a kiss and a snuggle that babies will love.



Time for Bed, written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Jane Dyer is a wonderfully rhyming story to put your little one to bed with. Day is done and darkness is falling. Mother animals are putting their babies to sleep. Time for Bed ends with a child being tucked into be by Mama. Dyer's illustrations are luminous.

Fox + Chick: The Sleepover and Other Stories by Sergio Ruzzier

Fox + Chick : The Sleepover and Other Stories  by Sergio Ruzzier Review Copy from Chronicle Books Friends. Opposites. Inhabitants of a pastel-hued, water color world that is vaguely surreal, Fox and Chick are back for a third installment of their inviting, if curious, easy-to-read stories. In "The Sleepover," "The Hammer," and "The Surprise," Chick's odd logic is once again upending Fox's life. Happily, Fox responds with patience and even wisdom at times. To these unforgettable characters and luminous illustrations, Ruzzier brings a sublime simplicity that makes this series perfect for emerging readers, adding books with character and intelligence to the often dull world of beginning reader books. If you aren't familiar with this delightful duo, definitely check out my reviews of the first two books (links below) where I put the greatness of Ruzzier's work into historical ( Frog & Toad ) context. Then check out ALL of Ruzzier's p

Be a Tree! by Maria Gianferrari illustrated by Felicita Sala

Be a Tree! by Maria Gianferrari illustrated by Felicita Sala Review Copy from Abrams Kids I picture-walked Be a Tree! three times before I actually read the words. Felicita Sala's illustrations for Maria Gianferrari's poetic text are mesmerizingly immersive and richly colorful within a palette of earth tones. Throughout the text, Gianferrari, who shares her inspiration for this book in the author's note ( Peter Wohleben's The Hidden Life of Trees ), gently maintains the human connection to trees and the connections (and communications) trees share with each other.  Be a Tree!  begins exuberantly, inviting the reader to "Be a tree! Stand tall. Stretch your branches to the sun. Let your roots curl, coil in the soil to ground you." From your spine/trunk to your skin/bark and your heart/pith, the words carry you inward and then zoom outward and up to the canopy and ultimately, the forest. "You are one of many trees," and our roots "twine with fung

Reading Levels: A Quick Guide to Determining if a Book Is Right for Your Reader

While I wrote an article titled Reading Levels: How I Assign Reading Levels to Books, How the Publishers Do It and How You Can Help Your Reader Find the Right Book at the Right Time that discusses how reading levels are determined by professionals and amateurs like myself, there is more on this subject to discuss. Determining the reading level of a book from the children's section is never easy, mostly because there are several different standardized methods of determining reading levels. Add to this the fact that knowing their children's reading level is most often the only tool a parent is armed with when exploring the bookstore, library, website, etc, and the job becomes even more difficult. While I think that knowing a child's reading level is a very valuable tool if your child is reading below grade level, I think that it is a secondary consideration when finding books for children reading above, especially well above, grade level because, in most cases, content app
