COOPER AND ME AND THE WINTER ADVENTURE BY Monique & Alexa Peters is the story of two dogs – Cooper and Bella. During winter, when they saw the mounds of snow outside their house, both decide to go sledding. They enjoyed playing in the snow so much they didn’t realize that they’ve gone so far away from their homes. Upon seeing that they were lost, both thought of the best way to find their way home.

Children’s Book Review: Bee Safe by Joyce Piap-Go

Michelle Padrelanan — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:03:00 +0000

A few years ago I had the chance to share how I taught my then 6 year old girl about personal safety. I was surprised at the parents’ general reaction that time. Some did not know what to teach their children about safety inside and outside the home, when to teach them and the right way of teaching without actually scaring their children. Here’s a book that parents can use to discuss safety with their children – Bee Safe by Joyce Piap-Go. The book’s central character is a little boy bee and he learns about being safe inside and outside the house. My four year old Flash Boy definitely remembers “Buzidee buzz buzz, I am...Read more ...

Children’s Book Review: The Great Duck And Crocodile Race by Robert Magnuson

Michelle Padrelanan — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 14:43:00 +0000

Here is one lovely little book about sportsmanship and friendship. Written and illustrated by Robert Magnuson, The Great Duck and Crocodile Race is about two friends – Duck and Crocodile – who challenge each other to a race. They each try to win the race by creatively outwitting each other. The ending is unexpectedly sweet. At first reading, I thought it was just a way to teach a child about different kinds of vehicles – from bikes to cars to aircrafts. When children enjoy a book, they want to read it over and over again. The Great Duck and Crocodile Race was read to our kids by me, their dad and their big sisters. And...Read more ...

Once again, we are treated to Pookster and Bubs’ humorous brother and sister dynamic in Pookster and the Unloose Tooth from The Adventures of Pookster and Bubs by Rhonda Funk. In this story, Pookster just can’t wait to lose her two front teeth. She was in such a hurry that she even practiced the song “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” in advance. When she felt one of her front teeth becoming loose, she was determined to lose it as fast as she can, faster than it should have happened. She finally lost both teeth by twisting, turning, tugging and finally, by tying her tooth to a door with dental floss...Read more ...
