Commotion in the Ocean

I read the children’s picture book called, ‘Commotion in the Ocean,’ a few days ago.

This children’s book was written by Giles Andrea.

It’s beautifully illustrated by David Wojtowycz.

This colorful rhyming picture book shows lots of different creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean.

On each page, not only is a creature shown but there is also a little rhyme.

I found some of the rhymes humorous, short, quirky and maybe a little scary.

It’s a great book with lots of creatures that the children can easily name that they’ll enjoy.

So, why not read it or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

What’s A Rumble In The Jungle?

I read the book called ‘Rumble in the Jungle,’ last week.

This book was written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by David Wojtowycz

It’s a comical rhyming book about animals that live in the jungle.

In this beautifully illustrated book, each jungle animal is explained to the reader in a series of rhymes.

It’s educational and encourages children to learn about jungle animals simply and in a humorous way.

I’d definitely recommend reading this book to children of all ages.

Can Animals Dance?

I read the book ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ which was written by Giles Andreae, with illustrations by Guy Parker-Rees.

It’s a wonderful story about a giraffe called Gerald who had four left feet or legs in his case.

When all the animals at the annual jungle dance make fun of Gerald’s dancing he leaves very sad. He wished he could dance.

When a cricket helps Gerald find the music that he loves, his dancing comes naturally.

Back at the jungle dance Gerald shows off his dancing moves and impresses them all.

A great end to the story for Gerald, beautifully illustrated.

In my view it’s a lovely story that’s so familiar to a lot of children and adults alike.

If we attempt to do something that’s done incorrectly we’re either laughed at or it’s frowned upon.

Not all of us are high achievers but like Gerald we are unique we must find our own way to achieve the same thing. Just because something has been done one way does not mean that it cannot be done in another way?

So the message here is never give up until you find the music that comes naturally to you.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

My final thoughts on this book are that it’s a lovely book for both children and adults.
