Sharing a Shell

I read the children’s picture book last week called, ‘Sharing a Shell.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson, and is beautifully illustrated by Julia Monks.

This colorful children’s picture book is about a crab without a shell.

Without a shell, crab’s an easy target.

Chased by a bird, crab quickly finds an empty shell, then stays in a rock pool.

Happy that he has his own home he’s surprised to find an anemone attached to it, but then when a bristle worm wants gets inside the shell too he has a dilemma, what should he do?

Should he kick them out of his shell or see what they can do?

What do you think?

A great book that explains how some crabs live, and what an anemone and a bristle worm can do.

It’s educational and colorful, young children will surely enjoy it.

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

The Princess And The Wizard

I read the children’s book called, “The Princess and the Wizard.”

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Lydia Monks.

It tells the story of a wicked wizard that unexpectedly shows up at Princess Eliza’s birthday party.

Angry that he’d not been invited to the party he turned all her family to stone.

Fortunately Eliza’s fairy godmother arrived late to the birthday party and after seeing what had happened she waved her magic wand giving Eliza seven chances to escape the wizard, but then the wicked wizard turned the fairy godmother to stone.

Princess Eliza’s only hope now lies with the magical seven chances given to her by her fairy godmother, but will these be enough to release Princess Eliza from the wicked wizards clutches or will she have to remain with him forever?

Find out what happens in the end by reading the book or you could watch it on Youtube then you can tell me what you think.

What The Ladybird Heard?

I read the book called ‘What the Ladybird Heard,’ one morning.

This book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Lydia Monks.

It’s a lovely story about a ladybird that lives on a farm, and although the ladybird never speaks she watches and listens to everything.

When she hears two crafty thieves planning to steal something from the farm, she tells the other farm animals and they devise a plan to catch them.

This is a wonderful story for young children, encouraging friendship and teamwork.

My final thought’s on this book is; it’s funny, colourful and has a great ending.
