What Is A Fred?


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

This children’s book was written by Mick and Chloe Inkpen. 

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little dog named Fred. 

Fred can sit and stay and catch a ball all day but when his owners call out ‘Fred,’ he doesn’t understand what a Fred is. 

What does it mean? 

What is a Fred? 

He understands sit and stay but not a Fred! 

Will he think it’s another word for play, sit or stay or will he work out that it’s his actual name. 

It’s a wonderful book with an adorable ending that children will love. 

So, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

A House Made Of Sand


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Sandcastle Contest,’ the other afternoon.

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 boy called Matthew and a sandcastle contest.

When Mathew went on a camping trip with his family their first stop just happened to be close to the beach.

Down on the beach he saw many people making statues and castles out of sand for a contest.

Excited he decided to enter.

Personally, I think he only entered to try and win the prize, a bathtub full of ice cream, yummy.

Using all his skills he created a house, a sand house, a house made out of sand.

Wow, how cool is that.

But with the judges believing it to be a real house how will he ever convince them that it’s really made of sand!

To find out what happened next to Matthews sand house, 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 that encourages imagination and creativity especially when making sand castles.

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.
