What’s Swamp Water?


I read the children’s book called, ‘Swamp Water,’ the other day.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and is beautifully illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young girl named Victoria and a very special lunch.

Victoria’s grandmother wanted to take her somewhere different for a special lunch from their usual eateries, where they neither sold hamburgers, chicken fingers or tacos.

So, when Victoria’s grandmother took her to a fancy restaurant it wasn’t what she’d expected.

When Victoria asked the waiter for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of swamp water, she learns that neither were on the menu.  This didn’t go down too well.

So, what do you think Victoria did next?

Demand a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of swamp water or try something different from the menu?

To find out what Victoria did next, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children, it’s amusing with a great ending especially if you like ducks.

Put Me In A Book


I read the children’s book called, ‘Put Me in a Book.’

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the unusual tale of how a young girl called Hailey ended up in a book.

On a school outing at a park Hailey saw an author writing a book. He appeared to be having a little trouble finishing it.

When Hailey learned that he wanted a kid to feature inside the book, she asked if she could be in the book, so the writer happily picked her up, flattened her and stuck her like a page in the book, then the teacher took her back to school.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t how Hailey wanted to be put in a book, she expected to be written in, not physically put in the book.

Now stuck inside how could she ever escape?

Could her school friends find a way to get her out of the book, or would she remain inside the book forever?

To find out what happened next, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a funny book with a great ending that young children would like.  It encourages imagination and creativity.

What Not To Pack On Moving Day


I read the children’s book called, ‘Moving Day,’ one day last week.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young girl named Danielle and the day she moved.

It was moving day and after hanging about just watching her parents rushing around packing things into boxes, she was told to go and help pack some things too.

Not sure what to pack, her mischievous side came into play and so she decided to pack her brothers and sisters, which is not really a good idea.

And so, after they’d moved into the new house and the boxes were opened that contained her brothers and sisters, she found out how mad they were.

Since moving in they’d been chasing her and when they catch her, she will experience for herself what it’s really like inside a cardboard box.

So, to find out if they succeed in catching her, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children they’ll love the storyline.

How To Catch A Fish


I read the children’s book called, ‘Get Me Another One,’ the other morning.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Mike Boldt.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young girl called Kristi and her first fishing expedition.

On a first ever fishing trip with her dad and due to unforeseen bad weather conditions, Kristi fell into the ocean.

When her dad lifted her out, he was surprised to see that she’d caught a large fish with her bare hands and when Kristi said she loved fishing, he threw her back into the ocean again to catch a second one, unfortunately this time it was too large to take home.

So, how do you think Kristi’s mum felt when she learned how her daughter caught her first fish?

To find out what happened next, why not read the book or with parental permission or guidance watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great fictional fishing story for young children to read.

Ever Lost Boots In Deep Snow?


I read the children’s book called, ‘Deep Snow,’ the other morning.  

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a father and his two daughters that have a snow adventure.

When sisters Ali and Kate get stuck in a snow drift their father tries very hard to get them out. Eventually he manages to pull them out, but then he finds that they’re missing their boots.

Being a good dad, he tries to retrieve the boots, but as he reaches further and further into the hole he unfortunately falls in and finds himself stuck.

Now with their dad stuck in the snow, how will Ali and Kate get him out?

To find out what happened next and if they retrieved their boots, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for children to read as it explains in a simple way how dangerous deep snow can be.

How To Win A Race?


I read the children’s book called, ‘Ready, Set, Go,’ the other day.

This children’s book was written by Robert Munsch and is beautifully illustrated by Michael Martchenko.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a young girl named Miranda and how she accidently won a race.

Miranda’s father had entered a race and needed some water to drink before it started, so to help, Miranda went to get a bottle of water for him.

Unfortunately, before she could get back to him the horn was heard which started the race, undeterred Miranda looked for her father chasing after each runner to find out where he was.

She didn’t know it at the time, but she’d beaten all the other runners and won the race.

To find out if Miranda found her father in the end why not read the book, or you could with parental guidance watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for children and adults to read for it shows that you’re never too old to run in a race or to accidently win!
