Tuesday

Crazy things happen on Tuesdays during the night. In this book, frogs start flying through the air on their Lilly pads. A man is up eating a sandwich around midnight and wonders what all the commotion is about. The frogs continue to fly around the neighborhood until morning comes. They make it safely back to their pond but leave their Lilly pads behind. Investigators wonder why there are Lilly pads in the middle of the street. The next Tuesday, pigs are spotted flying through the air.
Personal Rating= 3
Children will most likely enjoy this book because the pictures are very entertaining. Children will find the idea of frogs flying funny. However, the storyline is on the boring side. There was no moral to the story.

Is It Red? Is It Yellow? Is It Blue?
Is it Red? Is it Yellow? Is it Blue?

This concept book asks the reader to state how many objects in the book are specific colors. For example, on page one there is a red circle at the bottom which tells the reader he or she is looking for the color red. The reader should respond by recognizing that the girl’s jacket, boots, and umbrella are all red. This book just allows the reader to relate everyday objects to their color.
Personal Rating-5
This is another excellent resource that can be used to teach young learners. This is a really creative way to teach children the concept that the apple is red and that grass is green. The reader is able to see that there is a difference between every color. Also, the reader/learner can see that some objects are the same color even though they are not the same thing. Again, I could recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the concept of color.

This is a book that teaches how to count to ten. In the story a little boy goes to a friend and says he wants “one” of the things from the box. The friend goes on two ask if he would like to instead and the boy says no I only want one. The friend continues to ask if the boy would like three or four or five things all the up to ten things and the boy responds each time that he only wants one. At the end of the book the friend counts backwards from ten all the way to one.
Personal Rating-5
This would be a great book to use to help teach children to count to ten. It demonstrates how four is more than three and how three is more than two and so on. The pictures in this book are excellent because the help the reader see that there are two things or three things or four things and so on. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to learn to count.

Paddington's ABC
Paddington’s ABC by Michael Bond
Illustrated by John Jobban
In this story, the author takes a each letter of the alphabet and gives a word that starts with each specific letter. A picture is also shown to demonstrate the word. For example, on page one, letter Aa is given, the word apple is given, and a big red apple is drawn. The book contains examples like this from A all the way to Z.
Personal Rating-5
This book is an excellent way to teach children the idea that each word starts with a specific letter. They can learn to associate the letter with a word and a picture that relates to the word. The examples that are given in the book are common everyday objects that most children have seen before. I think this book would be a very effective resource to use to teach children their alphabet.

This is a peaceful story about a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, and a cozy bed. Everyone is sleeping until a flea joins and causes complete chaos in the sleeping house!
Personal Rating-5
I remember reading this story in Kindergarten! This is an easy book for children to read because the story builds on the previous sentence. For example, you read about the snoring granny. Then you read about the dreaming child and the snoring granny. Then you read about the dozing dog, the dreaming child, and the snoring granny. The pictures in this book are very animated and really enhance the story. You can see all of the chaos that is created when the flea decides to bite the dog!
