What We're Reading Now

Just found one of my favorite all time books! W is too young to "get it", but I think it is brilliant and I can't wait to share it with him.

Alphabeasties by Sharon Werner and Sarah Forss is absolutely precious.
Using different fonts, the authors create animal shapes using all of the letter being represented.
Take a look at this version of letter A.


This book is fascinating and will provide hours of perusal for little eyes. A great take on traditional alphabet books, your reader won't be disappointed.

Love it!
Note: I also saw that the authors created flash cards to make this text more mobile. Great, great idea and I'm sure they will be in the mail to little Wyatt Dodd soon.


Also in our shipment today - Snowbots written by Aaron Reynolds, illustrated by David Barneda.
Little snowbots celebrate a snow day - school is canceled and everyone goes outside to play. When things get too cold, though, mama and papa robot must come to the rescue. It's darling to see the little snowbots doing things that children would do. Only instead of enjoying a bubble bath after a day in the cold, these kiddos have hot oil baths. Very creative. Perfect for boys. Who doesn't like robots paired with rhymes?
