I Took the Moon for a Walk

Beautiful poetry!
Jun-24-2009

This is a gorgeous book. The illustrations are luminous and imaginative and the text is in verse form. Young children will enjoy the simple story and rhyme scheme, and older children will be able to spot poetic devices such as alliteration and metaphor. There is also great information about the phases of the moon and nocturnal animals at the back of the book!

Bear at Work

Good vocabulary builder!
Jun-24-2009

Bear at Work has simple, attractively colored illustrations that will catch a young child's eye and imagination. This book will help build children's vocabularies, as bear delivers mail to everybody from the florist to the farmer.
