Knopf Young Readers - June 2012

"Sharing", especially for young toddlers is never an easy thing,
and in this book, things might have turned out better had the toddler
learned to willingly share his toys from the very beginning for the
story. "Mine", is a delightful picture book that your preschooler will
be able to read to you for a change -- there are just (2) words "mine"
and "woof", but it's not about the words, it's the visual illustrations
(two very young children and a dog) which make this book special.
The illustrations are in pretty pastel shades, the characters are
done with digital pencil sketches that have almost an animated look to
them, and their expressions are priceless. It's a great book for
even the very youngest of children. (4/5 stars)

This is such a cute book for young kids to enjoy -- just probably
not at bedtime! You see in his story the animals would rather be
dancing than sleeping. Beginning with chicks peeping, soon all the other
barnyard animals -- sheep, cow, owl, cat and dog join in the fun; they even
wake up farmer Sue.
What is especially nice about this book are the great colorful illustration and rhythmic beat that will have your little one wanting you to read this book "over and over again". (4.5/5 stars)

You might also enjoy Dancing Feet by the same author which I reviewed earlier this year.
Cute books and attractive covers. Lucky kids!

You know, I don't take books in to review anymore but I'm thinking I might need to start with these children's books! Barnyard Beat sounds like a lot of fun. One of our favorites is Barnyard Dance by Boynton (which I now have memorized). We've been trying to learn our animal sounds at our house. ;) Thanks for sharing these Diane!
ReplyDeleteThe farmyard book looks great. Claire loves music and animals, and knows all the signs for farm animals. :)
