"Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them."
- Arnold Lobel

Children's Book Week & Book Review #5


First of all, hello and welcome to all of my new followers and readers from Sunday's Blog Jog!!!
It was an amazing success for me and my blogs, accomplishing what I was hoping it would...to discover some awesome, new blogs and to gain some more followers!! YEA!!!

Next, Happy Children's Book Week!!! I hope to link you up with some great sites and giveaways...and, of course, some wonderful recommendations of children's books for all age groups.
  • Visit There's A Book for some great giveaways and excellent recommendations in honor of Children's Book Week! It is my favorite site for children's literature!
  • Take a peek at First Book Blog, which provides books to children in need and is simply an excellent resource for anyone interested in children's literature.



Here's this week's book review:

Bear's Picture

Bear's Picture by Daniel Pinkwater
Illustrated by D.B. Johnson

I found this gem of a book last week at the library with my kiddos! The illustrations are so novel and eclectic - a mixture of cut-out, watercolor, black-and-white, and some abstract elements.  Pinkwater's story about Bear's very own, individual creation that is questioned by two "proper" gentlemen conveys a beautiful, heartwarming message of the individuality of one's very own work.  The ending is a sweet surprise for you and your little child.  I recommend this book for ages 2 - 4 years.
