Welcome to my reading corner

I love children's books. Even before I started having kids of my own I would peruse the kids section in libraries, bookstores and thrift stores. I am a textile artist by trade and that's what drew me to picture books, all of the illustrations, the colors and the imaginations of these writers.

I now have two boys of my own who love to read and when they were younger I never minded reading the same book to them hundreds of times if they asked. I have worked at two preschools and my favorite part of the day was always circle time where we would read to our future scientists and artists.

Snowballs


By Lois Ehlert

Copyright 1995 Harcourt Brace & Co. 

Summary: A family, whom you never see, creates a snowman family and use items they've collected from around the house. And they address what happens when the sun comes out.

Likes:

1.  I loved the fact that the author used real items such as plastic forks and corn kernels.

2. At the end of the book the author labels each item and has a page explaining how snow is made.

3.  Large print and few words.

4.  The reader has to turn the book perpendicular to look at the snowmen.

Dislikes:

1. The drawings of the birds and squirrel are the only items in the book that aren't "real."
