pickPat the Bunny is the first children's touch and feel interactive children's book. It is written by Dorthy Kunhardt and it was published in 1940. Instead of having a linear narrative, the book invites children to engage in activities such as patting the rabbit fur or playing peekaboo with a cloth.
#aussiesecretsanta Hope everyone‘s having fun getting their packages together. I almost have mine sorted, but tested positive for the ‘spicy cough‘ overnight 😩🤧. Need to avoid the rest of humanity for at least 5 days, which will mean a delay in posting my package. 🤞🙏
(Pic of husband & I reading by the river. I have him to thank for sharing his 🦠 with me. Inevitable really. And very fortunate to have avoided it ‘til now 🙏).
pickBased on one of Tove Jansson‘s stories, this is a picture book for children.
The moomins are in hibernation when one hemulen wakes them up in panic because Christmas is coming. Of course the moomins start preparing for this catastrophe.
3rd book for #NovelNovember @Andrew65
Using a whole poem as a quote. I think the figurative language that he uses is so adorable and thinking about saving a dream for when you‘re older and grumpy is such a silly thought. I love it.
I love the differences between the poems and how they can go from something so simple and sweet to something deep in mind tickling. Along with his funky, yet Groovy doodles, I love them.
pickAnother classic poetry, book with poems and drawings by Shel Silverstein. These plums can be kind of out there, but if he really look into the meaning of them, it‘s some thing always deeper or something just funny. I love this poet!
On a journey, I'd have
as my companion on the road,
a butterfly.
This would be an excellent book to introduce students to the haiku style of poetry.
