I recently read the children’s book
called, ‘When I Get Bigger.’
This children’s book was written and illustrated
by Mercer Mayer.
It’s a delightful children’s picture
book tells the tale of the little critter and what he’ll do when he gets bigger.
This book reminds me of when I was
little and what I wanted when I was bigger.
Most children believe that being bigger
will give them more freedom, but it usually does the opposite and comes with restrictions.
As you get older, certain allowances
are given, like for example; when you learn to listen and can use a knife and
fork then parents are happy to take you to a Toby carvery or other eating
establishment. They’ll also allow you to stay up an hour later than usual, if
your good.
As you get older you can negotiate having
a sleep-over, and even getting a Saturday job, especially as you’ve now reached
the age where you want to be independent.
Then as you become a teenager you want to
experience new things, like; dating, clubbing, tasting your first drink, taking
driving lessons and going to university etc.
Buy hey I’m not bigger yet so if you
want to find out all about the little critters experience then when you’re next
in the library why not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch
the story on YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And remember, getting bigger is not all
that it’s cracked out to be, it just means you’re getting older!

I recently read the children’s book
called, ‘Slinki Malinki.’
This children’s book was written and
illustrated by Lynley Dodd.
It’s a delightful children’s picture
book about an adventurous cat called Slinki Malinki.
This children’s book tells the tale of
a black cat that has two different personalities.
During the day he’s a cheeky and fun cat
but as day turned to dusk, he turned wicked and sly.
At night Slinki Malinki became a cat
burglar, taking things from houses that didn’t belong to him.
What a naughty cat.
It’s a great book that children would
like especially if they have a cat.
For you never know, your cat could be a
cat burglar too!
So, next time you’re at the library why
not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on
YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And
remember cats have secrets that none of us know, most sleep all day and are out
all night, but are they a burglar, howler or party goer, none of us really know
for sure!

I recently read the children’s book
called, ‘Just helping My Dad.’
This children’s book was written and illustrated
by Mercer Mayer.
It’s a delightful children’s picture
book about the little critter, who this time wants to help his dad.
So, whilst the little critters dad is
still in bed, he makes breakfast. The mess in the kitchen should’ve been an
indicator of how the day was going to unfold.
The day doesn’t go as planned and after
the little critter ruins the plants and gets water inside the car, his parents worry
about what he’ll help to do next!
This is a great book for both children
and adults to read, as all children like to help by doing things. So, don’t diminish
their enthusiasm or lack of patience with your own.
Remember we’re all teachers, children
learn from us, so be enthusiastic and patient and enjoy learning together.
So, next time you’re in the library why
not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on
YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And remember, adults never stay in bed
if the children are already up!

I read the children’s book the other
day called, ‘If You Happen To Have A Dinosaur.’
This children’s book was written by Linda
Bailey, and wonderfully illustrated by Colin Jack.
It’s a delightful children’s picture
book about different dinosaurs.
This book is slightly different as it tells
of how useful dinosaurs would be around the house.
“Hmm interesting, I hear you say.”
Well after reading this book I found
out that there were lots of things that a dinosaur could do.
One small problem though, I haven’t got
one!
If you’re one of the lucky few that has
a dinosaur, then this is definitely the book for you.
Also, great to read if you haven’t got a
dinosaur, as it’s always best to prepare.
A great book that all children would
like, even the adults.
So next time you’re at the library why
not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on
YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And remember always watch out for the
dinosaurs!

I recently read the children’s book
called, ‘I Just Forgot.’
This children’s book is written and illustrated
by Mercer Mayer.
It’s a delightful children’s picture
book about the little critter, who just forgot.
Sometimes you forget to do things when
you get up in the morning, so when the little critter forgot to make his bed
and put the milk away, you know what type of day it’s going to be.
And throughout the day he’s reminded by
his mum of what to do, for example to close the fridge door after opening it,
but the little critter had an excuse for everything he’d forgotten to do.
Remind you of anyone?
This is a great book for both children
and adults to read as young children sometime get confused or can become forgetful
just like the little critter. Adults too, can also get forgetful or confused
like me, “Hmm, where am I?”
So, when you’re in the library next why
not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on
YouTube. Either way, tell me what you think.
And remember, with our busy lifestyles and
schedules we all forget to do things, so the solution is;
‘Post-it notes,’ great for leaving
notes around the house, now I never forget anything.
“Oh look, there’s one, I’m in the
sitting room.”
