The Festival Of Stones Autumn And Winter Tales Of Tiptoes Lightly by Reg Down

I thoroughy enjoyed this enchanting children's book. The author has a beautiful way with words that brings his characters to life. The illustrations are stunning and really bring the story to life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with young children.

The Festival of Stones Autumn and Winter Tales of Tiptoes Lightly has a number of short chapters (ranging from 2-5 pages long), wich make it suitable for reading out loud to young children. At the end of each chapter is an illustration drawn by the author.

The Tales Of Tiptoes Lightly by Reg Down

If you're looking for a whimsical nature story for your little one, look no furthr than The Tales of Tiptoes Lightly by Reg Down. This beautifully illustrated book is filled with lighthearted tales of Tiptoes and her friends Jeremy Mouse, Mr. Cactus, Pine Cone, Pepper Pot, Octopus, and Jack Frost.

Each story is charming in its own way and will leave young readers enchanted by the magical world of Tiptoes Lightly. My favorite story was “Pumpkin Crow”, in which Tiptoes and Jeremy Mouse help a lost crow find his way home. This story is especially poignant in light of the current season.

The Tales of Tiptoes Lightly would make a lovely addition to any family with young children. The book is absolutely glowing with enchantment!

Your Fantastic Elastic Brain Stretch It, Shape It by Joann Deak

Your Fantastic Elastic Brain Stretch It, Shape It by Joann Deak is a phenomenal book that teaches children aout the anatomy and functions of the brain. The author does an excellent job of making the information accessible and easy to understand, with delightful illustrations that are accurate and engaging.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the brain, and it would be an excellent companion to Beautiful Oops, The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes, I Can't Do That YET, The Most Magnificent Thing, and Bubble Gum Brain.

Super Schnoz And The Gates Of Smell by Gary Urey

If you're looking for a funny, exciting new series to read, then you should definitely check out Super Schnoz And The Gates Of Smell by Gary Urey. In this book, we follow the story of Andy Whiffler, an eleven-year-old boy with an incredibly powerful sense of smell. When his school is shut down due to a gas leak, Andy quickly discovers that it's all a secret plot by an evil corporation. With the help of his classmates, Andy must use his nose to stop the bad guys and save the day.

I really enjoyed reading Super Schnoz And The Gates Of Smell. It's a great book for kids who are looking for a fun and action-packed story. Gary Urey is a talented writer, and he has successfully created a story that readers will love. The characters are simply unforgettable – especially Andy Whiffler. His nose can do anything from flying to making someone's head explode! It's great fun seeing how Andy uses his nose to stop the bad guys and save the day.

Andy Whiffler isn't your average kid – in fact, I don't think there's another kid quite like him! He loves using his incredibly powerful sense of smell to solve all sorts of problems. In this book alone, we see Andy use his nose as a parachute, as a drain cleaner, and as an antidote against toxic gas. It made me laugh out loud seing what Andy managed to get up to with his nose.

The Diamond Traitors by S. Brooke

The Diamond Traitors is an amazing book that I culd not put down. It is about a girl named Becca who comes from another realm and has to save her family and friends. The story is very well written, and the characters are very likable.

I wuld recommend this book to anybody who enjoys fantasy books! The Diamond Traitors was well written and very fascinating. I read this book for my school summer reading program and couldn't put it down once I started it (which made me very late for lunch every day). If you like reading fantasies, then this is the book for you!

One Odd Day by Karen Lee

One Odd Day by Karen Lee is a hilarious story about a young boy who wakes up to find everything around him is odd. He has one shoe, his shirt has three sleeves, and his dog has five legs! This book is perfect for children and adults who love finding all the odd things hidden in the art. The -For Creative Minds- section includes odd fun facts, an odd coloring chart, a -How Odd?- Oddities section, and a counting activity. I absolutely loved this book and woud highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and quirky read.

This book has a lot of fun details hidden in the art that stopped me in my tracks and made me look twice. I flip through this book every time I read it to see if I can find anything new each time. My favorite page is “How Odd?” Oddities page because there are so many things I have never noticed before, such as Lady Liberty's nose being on fire.

When reading One Odd Day, I didn't notice any repetition, but it did remind me of a song about odd numbers that we sing at school called The Numbers Song. To go along with this book, you could sing or do a number chant whie pointing out objects in the art that match up with your chant.

The Best Mariachi In The World by J.D. Smith

The Best Mariachi in the World by J.D. Smith is an excellent book for anyone who wans to learn more about the mariachi tradition. Gustavo's family has a mariachi band, and everyone except Gustavo is in it. Follow him as he finds his place in the family business. Bilingual presentation with embedded text with the story told mostly in English and sprinkling Spanish throughout. Available in both hardcover and paperback. Also in English only and Spanish only editions.

This book is a great way to learn about the mariachi tradition, as well as learn some Spanish words and phrases. The story is engaging, and the illustrations are beautiful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about mariachi.
