Yet another selection from my son’s library. Book! is a sweet little book from a toddler’s point of view about how much he loves his (what else?) book. With a blanket, stuffed elephant, and curious cat in tow, he explains in simple, easy to read sentences how much he loves his book.
I like this book for a infant or toddler because it’s a board book and the sentences rhyme. It’s a quick read, as well.
The toddler is a little African American boy with kinky hair. His mom also makes the occasional appearance to read him and tuck him in. She’s also sporting kinky hair.
Here’s the author’s website, if anyone is interested.
Here’s yet another great childrens’ book with positive characters who sport kinky curly hair. My son and I have this book in our rotation. Not only does it have a cute little girl with natural hair, but it also explains a very vital part of most people’s lives: budgets. The little girl in the story is shopping with her mother. The girl is, like most children, entranced by every toy and colorful cereal she sees in the store…in this case it’s dinosaur related items. The mother explains each time that these toys, balloons, and cereal are not on the list and instead purchases necessaties such as bread. In the end, the little girl gets a one dollar item that they can afford.
The book is very well suited for toddlers. It’s also a board book which, for me, is a big plus with the 3 and younger crowd. With its simple, rhyming sentences, this book is quite a treat and full of colorful, eyecatching images.
