My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is part of the A Counting Collection series of books. I loved the illustrations in this book. It is intended primarily for young children, just learning how to count. However, my children liked it as well, because of the illustrations and their love of sea turtles and the beach. I would highly recommend this for parents of young children, but truly feel that anybody of any age can enjoy it. My suggested ages would be birth thru first or second grade, for educational purposes, but I am sure that older elementary school children would enjoy it as well.

The illustrations of this book are very unique. Reading each page does make the reader think of the opposite (i.e. shut is open on opposite day). Opposite day does bring much joy to the characters in the book.

This children’s book is very colorful and will capture their attention. I love how the wording does rhyme on each page. Having the sea turtles on one page and the words on the other helps understand what’s going on. At the end there are some facts about sea turtles which make it more interesting

Today is Opposite Day at school and Dinopotamus is all excited. That is until the teacher asks him to “bring me the big box”. Oh no! Does she mean don’t bring the box? Bring the small box? Or not a box, but another shape? This was a cute story that will entertain young readers.

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus is a fun children’s book with unique illustrations. It likely follows the book Dinopotamus Goes to School, but they are unique stories. Dinopotamus goes to school and the teacher declares today is Opposite Day! The teacher has some silly commands for the kids to enjoy, as well as some tricky requests to direct them toward fun learning. My son thought it was fun and silly that some of the words were written upside down, with fun fonts, and in quote bubbles from the children illustrations. The illustrations look like they were drawn in crayon, which is unique. Silly fun book for younger readers.

My son and I love reading Oscar and Emmy books together. They are fun and educational. While we live no where near the coast, and will likely never encounter a hurricane, we enjoyed Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane. I like that after the story it has facts about hurricanes, so we can learn a little more. Abby and Charlie are preparing for a hurricane to hit their home town, and their parents engage them in helping prepare for their pets Oscar and Emmy as well. They also teach us about when to evacuate and move to somewhere safer. These books are wonderful for children to learn about the topic of the story, in a less scary way.

Another cute story by this author!
This time it’s opposite day for Dinopotamus! He’s so excited to go and be a part. In this opposite day you are allowed to break the rules instead of following them… but only if you do it right!
This is a easily engaging story allowing children to explore their imagination and consequences of decisions and actions made with cute illustrations to keep the pages turning.
My daughter who’s 6 enjoyed this one immensely!

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About (Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series) by Jennie Chen and Giselle Nevada. This series is such a good series about dogs and how responsible owners need to learn how to train their pups. Its all done a level that kids can understand. The pictures are really illustrated well and my 6 year old nephew loved it. CJ and Lora want their dog to be in the local 4th of July parade but because they are puppies and not trained they will have to learn some stuff before they can ride in the parade. Learning ways to train their pups actually works out to be fun for the kids and they have a good time while learning something. These books are so good because not only do kids love them they also learn something from them.

This is a cute story that explores the meaning of opposite. I like this series because it shows acceptance of individuals who are different and including them in the activities that are happening. I think many children will find this story interesting and I recommend it as something to read to your child. The author has a few series available for children that are fun and interesting. I think parents should check them out if you have children that love to read.

Ten Little Starfish is an beautifully written learn-to-count picture book. This is the next book following the adorable story Ten Little Sandpipers. This book is a great rhyming picture book that has children counting from one to ten. It has interesting facts about starfish throughout the book for both children and adults to learn about and enjoy. A great book for children as its short and will keep their interest, plus its educational which is always a great win.

I loved this book about being prepared for a hurricane. Being ready for a storm with kits for the family and one for Oscar and Emmy as well. I don’t live where there are hurricanes so I found this book very informative for those living in areas that do have storms. The book explains the steps in a fun simple way to keep children informed and entertained.

Out and About was a very informative, entertaining, and engaging children’s book. The author introduced the pups, explained that they needed proper training, and proper care, then had their kids/owners put them in many situations to show what a benefit all of it was. The information was presented in a friendly, easy to understand way, and would be a great starting point for any kiddos thinking about getting a dog.

I thought this was a great tool for many. it is a children’s book however, adults should also know the important details that are mentioned. I for one, go down in my basement annually and change out the cat / dog food we have set aside. We also have kits for the humans and for the pets. Keeping our pets safe and calm is very important in any emergency. I loved how the twins understand how important it is.

Ten Little Sea Turtles (A Counting Collection) by Kim Ann. This is the perfect preschool or Kindergarten age book for kids. Its such a fun book about Sea Turtles and counting. Each page has a different Turtle and number and facts about the turtles for kids to enjoy. The illustrations are beautiful and my 6 year old nephew loved it. The pages explain all the sea life that turtles are around and how they go about their days. Its such a fun, educational read. Would make a great gift for all families and even teachers. I will be getting another copy for my new grandson coming in September!

CJ and Lora are doing such a great job at taking care of and training Porter and Midge. They are both so well behaved during their outings. I love that this book shows the importance of getting dogs their vaccinations, and how to try and keep them from being stressed at the vet. In this book they get to meet many new animals and people while preparing to be in the Independence Day parade. The end is so cute with both Porter and Midge just passed out due to having such a long and eventful day, sleepy dogs are the sweetest.

After discovering the first book of the Dinopotamus Series I just had To come back and read this one. This talented author wrote and drew this series which is amazingly awesome! As always I like the Unique character she has created. This book is great for when your Littles are learning what opposite are. There are also a lot of good rhyming words and descriptive words for learning also. I’m looking forward to reading more from Lois Wickstrom and of this series. Also we should definitely do an opposite day here. It seems like it’ll be fun.

In the book it shows how CJ and Lora are trying to be responsible pet owners and it does a great job at that. Helping children understand that there is more to owning a dog than just playing with them is wonderful! The fact that the story shows CJ and Lora taking Porter and Midge to the vet and socializing them and getting both dogs comfortable in any environment or situation is amazing. Involving children at a young age in caring, teaching and sharing responsibility for a pet is a great thing. The checklist at the end of the book is a great resource for children to use and can see how much they have achieved in the training journey from when they first started with the puppy training.

I love these Oscar and Emmy books. I have read a few of them with my 7yo son. He also always enjoys them. They are not only fun and entertaining, they are also full of life lessons and education. That doesn’t make them boring though. The author weaves essential information right into the story. Often, at the end, the author includes super helpful lists or information about what the story was about.
This one in particular deals with an extreme hurricane. It teaches kids (and possibly even parents) how to be prepared to handle a hurricane. Especially with tips for pets! This book includes a list at the end that you and kids can use to be prepared.
