The three boys book review

Just thought I would share what my little guys are reading.

The Sea Mice and the Stars.

The boys really liked this one. The pictures are very eye-catching and the artist did a great job of creating some beautiful pages in this book. The print is of course, in a dark font and that makes it hard on certain pages.


Shhh! Santa

I know it's a bit early, but Ethan picked this one out during library time. This is a cute book that details Santa bumbling and stumbling along his merry way and constantly being warned to be quiet. A dog, a cat, a snowman, and other characters kindly remind him to be quiet and not wake up the kids. That is a tough chore as santa slips and falls, sneezes, and enjoys a big laugh on the job, which is against any and all human resources protocols.

Thomas & Friends: The Crossing

Carter LOVES Thomas the tank engine and he loves this book. In it, you can "stop" Thomas by pressing a red button and the accompanying clang-clang will sound. The reader can then have Thomas "go" by pressing a green button. We are going on the sixth straight day of enjoying this one.

Humphrey's Bear by Jan Wahl

The pictures are the best part of this one, they are dark, but look really shiny.

The April Rabbits by David Cleveland

This is NOT a brief one at all. Each page features a number of rabbits that correspond to the calendar. By the time you get to fifteen, you yourself, are ready for bed time!

The newest kick that we are on is Bill in a China shop. Bill the bull makes his way to a china shop, the one that forgot to post a "no bulls allowed" sign. He crept in and then, well, you know what happens next. the story ends well as he makes new friends in the china shop who help him pay for the damaged goods and they have tea. I think I'm more taken with the book than they are, but seeing the broken plates gives them a good laugh.
