This book is not just about Easter, it’s about the whole journey…his whole life. The books starts with his birth and concludes with his ascension. I like the illustrations in this book, as well as the story, of course. There is also an element to this book that makes it a fun one for families to read together, too. It has a repeating phrase, “journey, journey on” that pops up again and again. Children love books like this because, even though they may not be able to read, once they have heard the story they know there’s a repeating part and they can participate. Just stop reading when you get to that part and your child will know to chime in with the missing words.

This is my last Passover book review for this year. Most of the books have touched on getting ready for Passover as well as the Seder dinner. This book focuses mostly on the Seder dinner, the food that is eaten and some of the history behind the Seder meal. This is a great book for introducing Passover to a young child. My youngest has enjoyed all of these books and he has learned a lot about what Passover is and some of the traditions that go along with it.

A lift-the-flap book for Passover…perfect for little ones! What will they find under the flaps? They’ll find a Seder meal, plagues, food for the hungry, afikomen and the answers to the four questions.

Little Mouse is a little jealous of the other animals. Daddy Frog can jump really high to bring his little frogs the juiciest bugs and Mama Rabbit can dig deep, deep burrows to keep her babies safe. But what can Mama Mouse do that’s so special? She can do a lot of things, but what she can do best is always love her Little Mouse with all her heart.

This is a very sweet and simple book with very little text. The illustrations are warm and inviting. This is a board book…so it’s either great for little ones to chew on or a great way for an adult to talk with little ones about the pictures in the book to help broaden their vocabulary…mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather and baby.

Sarah and Grandpa work together to plant and care for their garden. One day, later in the summer, Grandma invites Sarah over for lunch made out of their garden.

Do you have a little biter in your house? (Don’t worry. It’s just a phase. Trust me on this one. We’ve been there, too.) This book is a great way to talk about what teeth are to be used for and also why they might feel like they need to bite. A gentle reminder to use your words and that teeth are for smiling. 🙂

This is such a fun book! Children use picture clues and riddles to guess whose teeth are in the picture.

“Which orange and black cat has huge, sharp teeth?”

“Which furry, brown animal has teeth that never stop growing?”

This book is written in both English and Spanish.

A fun and whimsical Seuss-styled romp about teeth, all the places you might find them, losing them and some basics on how to take care of them.

All of Clarabella’s friends get up in the morning, brush their teeth and then go off to play, but Clarabella is still busy brushing her teeth. By the time Clarabella gets all of her crocodile teeth brushed all of her friends are getting ready for bed and can’t play. Clarabella’s friends come up with a great idea though so she can get her teeth brushed AND have time to play.
