I Will Rejoice: Celebrating Psalm 1181 review
Karma Wilson

Zonderkidz, 2007

It's a Blessing

I love Karma Wilson's books - the rhymes are delightful. I purchase all of her books for the library. I plan to use this book in my Sunday school class because the book lends to so many discussion topics. The illustrations are soft and warm to match the Psalm verse. It's a good feeling book that I ...

Greenwillow, 2008

Delightful Modern Mash-up

Another wonderful book from Ian S. His paintings just keep getting better and better. And he hand drew all the type, too, which looks extra cool running across the pages. My young son loved this book--it's smart, funny, and cute (just like my son, actually).

Robert N. Munsch

Annick Press, 1991

A hilarious story by Munsch

Benjamin picks his baby sister up out of her crib, puts her in his knapsack and takes her to school for show and tell. She then wakes up and begins to cry. It is hilarious to watch the flustered adults in charge all try to get her to be quiet. I read this to my kindergarten class, and we all ...

Explaining fall

+ Why Do Leaves Change Color?
+ Fairly detailed book for early elementary children.

I used this book this semester while student teaching with a Kinder class. The kids really loved the illustrations, and the explanation of why the leaves fall. They were fascinated with the explanation of the pigment for red, yellow, and orange already being there. I'd reccomend it with older ...

(Speaking of "smash," poor Duck, one of the most beloved Cronin characters ever, experiences one in this book; read it and see!) This is another hilariously fun read for pre-schoolers and parents/teachers alike, with a very satisfying, laugh-out-loud, typically-Doreen-Cronin twist at the end. ...
