A Timeless Beginner Book : Go, Dog. Go!


Who doesn’t love dogs!? this book is a masterpiece filled with all kind's of dogs! it's about all kinds of dogs doing doggy things and some human things! (which is quite comical) the dogs are engaged in the high speed activities and madness like roller coasters, Ferris wheels, leaping off wooden houseboats, driving etc! I adore it when the dogs are wearing hats! it’s quite classic and of course the dog party! the book itself includes big dogs, little dogs, and different colored dogs who are doing doggy things (who knew dog's could be super busy!) 

I personally think this book is a great beginner book because it is encouraging children to read all by themselves and it gives some clues (the green dog, the yellow tree) it includes simple words ( Ex: Dog, big) with simple yet fun and vibrant illustrations! it includes early learning concepts, the story is simple yet multi-layered. The words repeat and build on each other allowing the reader to gain confidence throughout the book, colors are being reinforced and about 75 different words total. I would rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars, because it allows young readers to be imaginative and interactive encouraging all young kiddo’s to read by themselves.

Informational Text #1 : Sea Shapes

Image
Sea Shapes by Suse Macdonald is an engaging book which allows young readers to identify basic shapes that are then transformed into these beautiful under the sea creatures! (which is great to hold the readers interest.) This allows the young kiddos to see how shapes can be hidden within our environment and how we are always around them! It has a good introduction of all different types of shapes like star = starfish, circle= the eyes of the whale, semicircle= the jellyfish’s head, square, heart, triangle= the shark’s fin, hexagon etc. Young readers will definitely view the sea differently after reading this and hopefully be able to point out different shapes for different animals that they see! The book also comes with an informative glossary that includes sea facts! it’s a great combination of geometry, science, art and reading.  The illustration is super fun, super colorful (Bright and vibrant colors of the ocean and who doesn't love the ocean!?) and the book is super simple....

Picture Book #1 A classic : The Lorax

Image
The Lorax written by Dr. Seuss is a such a classic! (One of my favorite picture books) The book consists of rhyming verses, beautifully illustrated pictures and the message of how important it is to take care of your environment. The Lorax is the keeper of the beautifully colored Truffula trees. the Once-ler (entrepreneur) then begins to produce thneeds (which have multiple use's) out of these Truffula trees and once he sees he is making profit he becomes greedy. The once-ler begins chopping a small number of trees down, but when he realizes that more and more people are buying the thneeds he expands the business by building a factory and producing a machine that will chop down huge number of trees. The Lorax who speaks on behalf of the trees warns the Once-ler that this will cause serious harm. A variety of creatures start to leave the area because there is now a lack of resources (food : the tree once provided food) and there is pollution in the air ...
