Reading!

There is something hilarious about “unmentionables!” Especially for those little boys! There have been some really creative books lately that will make you change your mind about talking in hushed tones. These books will teach you a bit about fashion, the important role of vocabulary and make you laugh from the bottom up!

I see London, I see France...

I see someone’s…No, that’s wrong! An unsuspecting character finds something interesting. It’s a hat! All of the other animals think so too, except for one. This is a really cute book about unmentionables that will have kids and grownups laughing out loud!

Granny will fix it!

Guess what? You are spending the night at Granny's house and you get to sleep in the big bed all by yourself. Are you going to be scared?? Of course not....what's that noise? Can someone sleep with me? How about some of the farm animals? Did you hear that? GRANNY!!! What a funny story to read about being afraid of something in the dark!

Simple can be good

I've been told that I have a simple sense of humor.

Sounds bad doesn't it?

But, simple is the reason I really like Mo Willems' Elephant & Piggie books.

These picture books have simple text and simple illustrations that let the characters personality and relationship tell the story. Not to mention they make me laugh out loud. The facial expressions alone are enough to induce a giggle. Try them out and see if they don't make you smile.
