Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces

This small-sized board book of baby photographs folds out, accordion-style, showing happy, beaming faces and frowning, crying faces. Wattenberg has captured 14 ingratiating babies in a delightful "gallery.'' The baby board book's sturdy construction and the photos' multicolored, zany backgrounds add to the book's charm. This endearing collection will be a terrific treat for babies, while their proud parents will no doubt recognize many familiar expressions. What a great board book for babies. Your little bundle of joy is sure to love it. This children's book is for kids ages 4 months-4 years. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

This children's book is a collection of classic animal tales from the "Little Golden Books" series. These entertaining fairy tales will help young children associate the names of animals with what they look like. Children will laugh at the silly stories and bright simple pictures. There is a kids story about an elephant who thinks he has too many wrinkles and is too big, so he tries to lose his wrinkles. In the end, he finds other elephants and learns that he is just as an elephant should be. Children will read myths about how leopards got their spots, and another story tells how camels got their humps and how their humps help them survive in the desert. The kids stories are whimsical and fun. Some of them have morals and others are simply entertaining. Children will enjoy pointing out the different types of animals from the domestic to the exotic.

Mary Poppins Opens the Door

Here she is again, the abrupt, yet beloved nanny known as Mary Poppins. Fanciful illustrations by Mary Shepard and Agnes Sims draw readers into the adventures shared by the Banks children and their nanny, including dancing with elegant animals, meeting nursery animals, riding candy canes, and more. Mary Poppins includes her young charges in a host of wonderful adventures, although her stern and short-tempered manner keeps her from being considered a warm and cozy soul. Young readers may be surprised to find this classic character to be somewhat ill mannered in nature, in spite of the order and magic she brings to the Banks household. Perhaps she is a creature of her era. Children who enjoy reading historical and magical fiction, or those who have read Mary Poppins’ earlier adventures, will enjoy this character’s return. This kids book is for children reading levels ages 9-12. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other kids books you would like to have reviewed.

Everything Kids' Word Search Puzzle and Activity Book

Helping Out And Staying Safe: The Empowerment Assets

Big kids now more than ever need opportunities to create positive places for themselves, and this kids book opens the door for them to be pro active in making things better. It focuses on four empowerment assets: Community Values Children, Children as Resources, Service to Others, and Safety. Each chapter starts with an inspiring kids story about a child who is in a situation that needs improving. Young readers should be able to relate to these examples, which are followed by several ways that the protagonists can take charge and make change, thereby adding the appropriate asset. Readers are encouraged to choose one activity for their own lives, and to note the outcome. To help children get started, some Web sites and phone numbers are included within specific activities, and there are also "Helpful Resources" sections at the end geared toward kids and adults, along with an index. This kids book is ideal for school counselors and teachers, or any other adult who serves as a mentor for youth and can share this if a need arises. Ideal for young readers, this resource does not have to be read cover-to-cover, and although packed with ways to create empowerment assets, it will not be overwhelming. The ideas are written in short paragraphs, and the entire book can easily be skimmed by a reader who is looking for specific information. This kids book is for kids reading levels ages 9-12.

The Family Book

As he did in The Mommy Book and The Daddy Book (both Little, Brown, 2002), Parr introduces children to an array of families. Whimsical illustrations featuring neon colors and figures outlined in black show big ones and small ones, and families that look alike and relatives who look just like their pets. The art features both human and animal figures; thus, pigs depict both a family that likes to be clean, and one that likes to be messy. Some families include stepmoms, stepdads, stepsisters, or stepbrothers; some adopt children. Other families have two moms or two dads, while some children have only one parent. Interspersed with the differences among families are the ways they are alike: all like to hug each other, are sad when they lose someone they love, enjoy celebrating special days together, and can help each other to be strong. This kids concept book celebrating the diversity of family groups is distinguished by its sense of fun. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
