The Rabbit Listened

Nona Reads ·

2021/02/25

Written and illustrated by Cori Doerrfeld, The Rabbit Listened is a delightful children's book centered on a little tyke who has experienced the trauma of having his creation destroyed--so very symbolic and able to be adapted to many situations. He is told how to solve his problem by each of his friends with each solution mirroring the friend's manner. Finally, sweet Rabbit listens. Period. And the result is healing. Simple, yes, but more than enough for a kiddo to chew on. --- Send in a voice

Curious George Visits a Toy Store

Nona Reads ·

2020/07/22

Curious George--we all grew up hearing stories about this rascally little fellow! Here we have a new adventure which is definitely delightful and will have you looking for more! Haven't we all wanted to crawl up the shelves of a toy store?! True confession: I am uncomfortable reading the first Curious George book as it deals with his being taken from the jungle to be placed in a zoo...we all know the story didn't end that way, but for today's listeners, methinks we'll just skip reading that first

Green Eggs and Ham

Nona Reads ·

2020/07/17

Another all-time favorite children's book, Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat is a classic, spunky, fast-paced book. The tireless Sam-I-Am is most certainly a reference to the children in our lives who ask, ask and ask again! Like many of Dr. Seuss' works, this story is capable of tying your tongue into knots and tickling your imagination--all at once. The classic Dr. Seuss illustrations do not disappoint. My advice? Well, if you don't already have this in your home library, it is worth ordering for you

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

2020/06/29

The Very Hungry Caterpillar--written and illustrated by the amazing and inimitable Eric Carle--is an absolute masterpiece. The simple story of an ever-hungrier caterpillar's journey to metamorphosis holds the attention of both young and old. If you have occasion, please look up a hard copy of this as the illustrations are true works of art....and maybe you might even visit the floating exhibit of his work making its rounds on the museum circuit recently.

A give-away from Chick-Fil-A, this little book Duck& Goose is a delight to read. It is a story about wrong assumptions and friendship.

The Man who Didn't Wash his Dishes

Written in 1950 by Phyllis Krasilovsky and illustrated by Barbara Cooney, this precious little book is worth finding in a used bookstore for yourself. It is a tale teaching the value of doing hard things when they need to be done as letting them pile up can become unsurmountable...without a little intervention. You will enjoy reading it as much as your listeners will enjoy following along to see how the little old man solves his growing problem. --- Send in a voice message:
