I will admit that the title of today's book intrigued me. After all anyone who has been following Crafty Moms Share knows I have a thing for birds. This book is not really a book about rather connections for a young bird lover with social anxiety. The book is The Language of Birds by Jon-Erik Lappano and illustrated by Zach Manbeck. It is recommended for ages 4 to 8.
They say every family has a black sheep. Do you have someone difficult to deal with in your family? Or maybe you know someone who you wonder what it must be like to live with them? Today we are sharing a book for middle school and up about living with a difficult sibling and friendships. The book is Kloe's New Friendship by K.M. Selvidge. At the end of this post there is a giveaway too!
I've been wanting to share this idea with you for some time, but it took a while to find the time to actually try it out. I wanted to play with my Cricut and make some Christmas ornaments. A few months ago, Dollar Tree had its vinyl on clearance for 25 cents a roll. I picked up a bunch of holiday colors and more to play with. Then I got some clear ornament blanks. I got them online. I also picked up some holiday scrapbook paper. With some ModPodge and an Exacto knife, I got to work.
It is hard to believe that Christmas is only two weeks away!! I've already shared quite a few amazing new Christmas and other December holiday (like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) books!! I just received a fun Christmas book I have to share. It is from the World of Eric Carle and has illustrations in his style including some of his favorite animals. The book is Christmas Together with Polar Bear and Friends and is written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle, two of my favorite children's book authors! This book is recommended for ages 3 to 6.
I feel like winter brings up lessons on animals. When Hazel was young, I remember winter bringing lessons on animals in particular ones that hibernate and then arctic animals. Another type of animals is nocturnal. Today we are sharing a new picture book about nocturnal animals. It is a great introduction to them and a great bedtime book. The book is Whooo Is Still Awake? by Brigette Barrager. It is recommended for ages 4 to 8 and is being released today!
