What We're Reading ~ The Castle Ghost







This is a great little book for exposing youngsters to new cultures,and it's part of a series where lots of different Disney characters visit places around the world. Mickey and Donald learn that there's something interesting to do everywhere you go, and that even if it's not what you expected, you can make any vacation a fun and memorable one. I like the idea of teaching my kids that different is good, and that there's value in every culture and point of view even if it's different from their own.

This story starts out with Mickey ad Donald going on vacation to England, but Donald doesn't realize that this in not a tropical island. Donald is disappointed and grumpy, even though Mickey's friend, Sir Reginald, tries to tell him that there are lots on interesting things to do in England. However, a ghostly nighttime visitor convinces Donald and Mickey that islands don't have to have hot sandy beaches to be fun!

Books for Aspiring CHEFS!

If your little one wants to be a chef, or just plain loves to cook, this book list is for you! Right now my 3 year old, E, is very into cooking! She loves saying "I can help!" She'll do anything you let her do, from helping to hold a mixer, to measuring and pouring an ingredient into a bowl. These are great opportunities to teach her about the world and people around her, as well as how to actually cook. But if your kid is anything like mine, she would much rather read about it than have me "lecture" her. I won't pretend that I've actually read any of these books, but if I were going to buy books about cooking or being a chef, these would be them! Cooking Class: 57 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Make (and Eat!) This book is recommended for ages 6-12. It has recipes for a variety of skill levels: some require simple cooking, such as boiling, but many of the recipes need no cooking at all. There are many simple recipes that I think

What We're Reading ~ The Snow Beast

E's favorite book this week is The Snow Beast , by Chris Judge. We have read this book at least 7 times since we checked it out at the library four days ago!  It has a simple story with simple illustrations, and the jokes are perfect for a three year old. The Beast wakes up one morning to find that not only are all of his tools gone, but all the villagers' tools are gone too. When they blame the mysterious Snow Beast, the Beast goes on a quest to find him and get their tools back.

What We're Reading ~ Peter Rabbit

Last night for bedtime story, E read Peter Rabbit for the first time! Her favorite part was when Peter jumped into the watering can and got all wet. Silly Peter! Beatrix Potter is a classic author, and I'm so excited to start introducing her fun stories and cute illustrations to my kids. E, who is 3 right now, is the perfect age to start these. She has just the right attention span, plus the ability to start understanding some of the simple morals (like "listen to your mother!" 😂). My site on Redbubble has Beatrix Potter's original illustrations, available on many different products! Beatrix Potter and more!
