What We're Reading ~ The Story Starts Here!

The Story Starts Here!

This is a great book we found at the library last week! If you'll notice, that's not the front cover! It's the back cover, because that is where Little Wolf wants to start the book. If you look at the front cover, this is what you see:

This mischievous wolf wants to start the story at the end of the book. Why? Just because! He doesn't feel like being particularly conventional about anything today, though his parents frequently have something to say about that.

This is a funny little story that doesn't particularly have a point, with Little Wolf doing things differently just because he can, but it is just the right humor for a preschooler. Some parents might be disappointed by the lack of a real story, but this book is still fun to read, and definitely worth checking out at the library if you don't want to commit to owning it.

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!
