Have You Ever Been Stuck?

I read the children’s book called ‘Stuck,’ one afternoon.

This book was written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

It tells a comical story of a small boy and a kite.

When a young boy’s kite gets stuck in the tree, you could say he chucks everything at it to shift it; but it still won’t budge!

How will the young boy get it down, I wonder?

It’s a fun story I’d recommend reading to young children.

I believe the moral of the story in this book is; ‘If at first you don’t succeed then try and try again,’ or if that doesn’t work you could just chuck things at it!

How Friendship's Cure Loneiness?

I read the children’s book called ‘Lost and Found,’ one afternoon.

This book was written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

It tells the story of a small boy and an unexpected visitor; a Penguin!

The small boy believing that the Penguin is lost takes him back home to the South Pole; but then soon discovers that the Penguin isn’t lost, he’s just lonely.

I’d recommend reading this story to young children it’s a delightful story, with colourful illustrations.

I believe the moral of the story in this book is; ‘Friendship cures loneliness.’

So with that in mind, why don’t you say a friendly ‘Morning’ or ‘Afternoon,’ to a neighbour, work colleague or someone you don’t know and make their day, because after all friendship cures loneliness.

Why not read the book now or watch it on YouTube, and tell me what you think?

How To Have A Peaceful Sleep?

I read the children’s book called ‘Peace at Last,’ the other morning.

This book was written and illustrated by Jill Murphy

It’s a lovely book telling the story of a very tired bear.

When Mr Bear tries to sleep in the house, he finds that every room is noisy.
Deciding to sleep in the garden, he finds that it’s also too noisy. Finally just as he’s about to fall asleep, the alarm clock goes off and wakes him up!

Don’t you just hate that feeling?

I’d recommend you read this book to young children at bedtime. It’s also wonderfully illustrated.

I have two possible solutions for Mr Bear’s sleeping problem. He could go to bed early or make sure he falls asleep before Mrs Bear does!

Read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you’ll know what I mean.

Is There Room On Your Broom?

I read the book called ‘Room on the Broom,’ the other morning.

This book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

It’s a delightful rhyming story about a kind witch and her cat taking a ride on a broomstick.

However, when the wind blows off her hat, it starts a whole episode of mishaps.

But when she’s about to be eaten by a very hungry dragon, her camouflaged animal friends come to the rescue!

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

My final thought on this lovely illustrated book is that it’s a great story for young children to read that ends on a positive note.

The moral of the story in this book is to ‘Be kind to others and they will return the favour.’

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.

Cheap Jeep For Sale?

I read the book called ‘Sheep in a Jeep,’ the other morning.

This book was written by Nancy Shaw and illustrated by Margot Apple.

It’s a comical rhyming story about five sheep in a Jeep.

When five sheep take a drive in a Jeep it’s not the delightful ride they were all hoping for and ends up badly when the driver sheep forgets to steer!

I’d recommend that you read this delightful rhyming book, it’s sure to put a smile on your face.

My final thought’s on this book is; that it’s a lovely story for children with fun illustrations.

The moral of the story in this book is ‘Never let sheep drive!’
