REVIEW
Sandra Boynton has done it again. She's created an adorable book that shines a light on the sweet relationship between a mother and child. The illustrations highlight the joys the mother and child share and emphasize the activities and time they share together. This is a book that is bound to bring a smile to the faces of both young and old, especially as it is shared together. A wonderful gift for a mother and child.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Mouse spies his sister Minka acting very mysterious. She’s collecting shiny red paper, paste, and pink ribbons. What is she doing? She’s making a valentine for Mouse, of course!
Young readers are sure to enjoy Lauren Thompson’s simple, energetic text and Buket Erdogan’s sweet, playful illustrations as they learn to recognize words and begin to read on their very own!
REVIEW
Mouse follows his sister, Minka, around as she gathers supplies and begins to make something. But what could it be? Any youngster familiar with Valentine's Day will figure this out really quickly, but it's still fun to guess what the different items Minka finds are and how she uses them to create the valentine. This early reader is perfect for young readers who like holiday stories that they can read and figure out themselves. The illustrations are darling and support the story well, especially when the text asks questions that can be answered from the pictures. This allows beginning readers to develop visual as well as textual literacy skills.
ABOUT THE BOOK
When a small robot named Z discovers a message in a bottle signed “Love, Beatrice,” they decide to find out what “love” means. Unable to get an answer from the other robots, they leave to embark on an adventure that will lead them to Beatrice—and back home again, where love was hiding all along.
REVIEW
What is love? Z, the robot, does not know. It does not compute. After finding a note in a bottle that ends with the words, Love, Beatrice, Z is curious to know just what love is. When none of his robot friends can tell him, he sets out to find Beatrice, hoping that she can provide the answer. He encounters several people along the way who give him various answers, but none of them are Beatrice, and he doesn't understand the answers. Will he ever find Beatrice? And if he does can she help him understand what love is? In this sweet story about a feeling, Z, the robot discovers the wonderful definition of love. Other than the robots having no necks, I found the illustrations cute and perfect for the story. This book would work well not only for a story time on Valentine's Day but for introducing discussions of the feeling of love and what it means.
Sweet. I haven't read this but want to!
