Rhyming is the stuff of sight word books. Fans of Bobs’ and Tweets don’t agree with that look. This is a series that our eldest has loved for years. His copy of Trick or Treat is loaded with tears. Each entry is loaded with sight words and funny pictures. For kids through second grade, like those who might be struggling to read, this could be quite the beneficial mixture.
If you’re one of those elementary school parents who yearn for an original graphic novel that will appeal to your children Mr. Wolf’s Class, Lucky Stars is for you. Also, if you’re one of those elementary school students who want a think, entertaining graphic novel that perfectly captures life as you know it, check out Mr. Wolf’s Class, Lucky Stars. This book is proof that you don’t need potty humor to engage the reading bug in those students who between 6 and 9.
If Kitten Lady’s Big Book of Little Kittens came with an audio soundtrack it would be the sound of elementary aged children laughing, oohing, squealing and ahhing. Then there’d be nothing, because they’d be too occupied with reading the book. This book knows its purpose, is squarely dedicated to that one segment and hits the nail on the head. Hannah Shaw is the founder of the 501c3 Orphan Kitten Club, has appeared on Animal Planet and provides rescue and adoption services to orphaned kittens in San Diego. This is a book that takes an honest, kid-friendly look at fostering kittens.

We have a child that absolutely goes mental over lovies. These are the stuffed animals that populate a child’s room, they can be an alligator, bear, character from a movie or a stuffed thing that he won from a claw machine, but they all have the same name: Lovey. If you’ve seen Men In Black: International there’s a cute scene where an alien hides amongst some lovies. That film is available on Blu-Ray DVD now and they’ve partnered with Budsies to remind people that anything in a child’s imagination can be a lovey.
If pre-K through early elementary school kids had coffee tables then If I Was The Sunshine is one of those books that would be front and center. “Oh, isn’t that book fabulous”, the clumsy kid from down the street would say. “And those illustrations, the farm animals that were drawn by Loren Long are absolutely dreamy. They’re solid, yet ethereal and remind me of a place that I’ve never been to-but I sure want to go”, said the visiting art critic from some big city on the coast. “The size of the book is great too. It’s as big around as that dwarf white pumpkin we’re grew last year”, Sam the farmer from Georgia commented.
In this imaginary world of coffee talk all of these small children would be correct. If I Was The Sunshine is a children’s illustrated book whose mere presence makes you take notice. Boom, all one has to do is look at the book and it grabs your attention. This is a large book at over a square foot large this book takes up a lot of real estate on your shelf. Its height rivals those tall, encyclopedia-style National Geographic books. The size grabs your attention, the art keeps you engaged and the soft, rhyming narration will mellow out crabby children at the end of the day.
What is a great good-night book? This is one, read on for why it rocks for ages 3 and up
This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are our own. We have a family friend who just went off to college. Aside from making me feel old at dirt I was amazed at the fact that they were going to college without a car. Color me surprised to find out that many college age students (and older) don’t think twice about not having a car. Part of that reason is due to the popularity of people using scooters as a supplemental mode of transportation. Color me even more surprised to find out that scooters are priced to, pardon the pun, move. Parents, the annoying scooters at busy intersection do not need to be your student’s de facto way home. Students, you can own a scooter that’s 100% owned by you and not some other yee haw who walks the same way home. Case in point is the Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter that you can purchase from Best Buy.
The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter checks off every imaginable want, need or concern for people who need a ride around campus or the neighborhood; as well as, those older people who are concerned about safety.
For those taking the Hover-1 around campus this scooter can make a round trip journey at an 8-mile school. You don’t have to be Eminem to realize that’s a long way to travel 16 miles without needing to re-charge your wheels.
As I go back in the time machine I think to my college campus and there were paths galore and hills aplenty. This scooter could easily get through all of those areas and do so in a quicker and cooler way than my bike back then. The bike I had then weighed about 40 bulky pounds. If I had a flat or otherwise couldn’t ride it home I’d be at the mercy of my friends with a truck.
The Hover-1 folds up within seconds and weighing in at 27 pounds can easily be transported by most people to their dorm, apartment, class or the three steps up to the first floor. This is a light, portable form of short-range transportation that you can own and your friends will be jealous of.
If you’re late for something the Hover-1 has enough get-up-and-go to move you there poste haste. It can move at 14 MPH and that’ll get you across campus or down the street quicker than you can say “What do you mean I have to pay my own phone bill?”
It also brakes with ease because it has electronic and foot brakes. Parents, this one is for you so that you don’t worry about your distracted young adult who is looking at cute coeds. Students, two methods of brakes mean that you are much less likely to take that unfortunate tumble in the corner when the leaves are wet. This is a win-win situation.
The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter can be purchased at Best Buy. This is a mode of transportation that’ll give parent’s piece of mind and students the ability to get around campus on their own terms.
This is a great week for all age comic books. Big Nate is out with two (yes two) new books this week. One of them is the collected comic strip Big Nate while the other is a board book version of new Big Nate nonsense and they’re both awesome, but for different ages. Also great for elementary school age kids are Despicable Me and My Little Pony-both with a Little Golden Book, Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Seafoam. Middle school ages will enjoy The Okay Witch.
