I love books! Love, love, love, love, love books. Here are some of the books I enjoy reading - to myself and to children. KID KANDY - an activity to do after reading a great book - is a new, fun feature of Book Blab for Kids. I'd love to hear what books you love. Thanks for stopping by!

Cookie's Week
Cookie's Week by Cindy Ward
Love this book. Especially since my kinders are paying attention to rhyming, illustrations, authors, animals, days of the week...According to one particularly memory-gifted child, I also read it on the first day of school (in August). Today is March 20. He is correct, by the way.
As we re-read Cookie's Week, suddenly my eagle eye super kids noticed, "Hey, that's watercolors!" "And salt!"
Maybe the grammar wasn't correct, but the comments were right on. We have been noticing how authors illustrate and create stories. We've even used watercolor paints, combined with cool salt effects, to make our own illustrations.
Read about Cookie's days and troubles caused by an over-energetic kitten. Enjoy simple predictable phrases and great watercolor illustrations.
Thumb's up.
(Weird, but the photo is correct on my memory card, but each time it loads sideways. Just hold your computer on its' side and you'll be fine.)
