Duck, Duck, Tiger by Brittany R. Jacobs

For the Beauty of the Earth by Folliott S. Pierpoint

by Leave a Comment

Two more I read via online reader copies (and are available) titles are below. Sadly, no themes, just two fun books that people need to know about. And as we know, knowing is half the battle! One little girl feels like a tiger. Which would be fine except all the people in Duck, Duck, Tiger are, you guessed it, ducks.

Let’s end the year with my favorite holiday, Halloween. Eenie Meenie Halloweenie is a clever rhyming book that uses the child’s imagination to pick out a Halloween costume. Should she be an elephant or penguin? She is sure whatever it will be, it is going to be something she can make and the clever ideas on how to make a penguin or monkey will be great for dress up time any time of the year. Her solution is clever, if not necessarily the most realistic, […]
