My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My entire household loves the Oscar and Emmy series, so of course we picked this one up as soon as we saw it. We don’t live in an area that experiences hurricanes which made it a good learning lesson for both of my kids. The author has such a magnificent way of informing kids at an appropriate age level without scaring them or diminishing the experience. Oscar and Emmy aren’t sure what to make of all the movements throughout the story, but they go along with their family. The illustrations help with connecting younger kids to the story as well. I believe this is an excellent book to read as a family or in a classroom!

My kiddos and I have read quite a few of the books in the Oscar and Emmy series, so when we found out there was one involving our favorite holiday, we jumped on it! We love the beautiful illustrations as they help everyone connect a little bit more to the characters. Of course, our favorite parts always involve the lovely and mischievous kittens that are checking out all the fun Christmas decorations and gift wrapping. This book is such a cute one to share with the young ones in your life whether that’s at home or in the classroom!

It’s Oscar and Emmy’s first Christmas as they can’t wait! There are so many lights and crinkly paper, and milk that gets left out for Santa! They get to participate in the family’s Christmas traditions and maybe a little mischief of their own!

Such a cute story with vivid illustrations!

It’s my favorite set of kittens coming back to help small children and their families understand more about how to deal with inclement weather. This book specifically goes over a hurricane that is close by and how they are going to handle it properly and safely. It goes over the preparation humans should take regarding their safety, as well as that of their four legged friends.

The illustrations will keep your youngsters attention even if the content is a little over their head at their age. This is a must have for any family with pets!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Of course, as an adult I can already count to ten, but when you have some cute little sea turtles to aid you, that makes it so much better. This was an adorable, well illustrated children’s book, and the sea turtles were just the cutest. At the end the author listed different facts about sea turtles, added a song, and little activities to make reading it more fun and kid friendly. I thought this was a nice little touch.

This adorable counting book has great illustrations. The story gives some good vocabulary relating to starfish and the sea. Not only does the story count to 10 but it has a cute story about the starfish as they go along. The end has a bunch of great starfish facts and a seek and find that also works on counting objects to 5. I would recommend this to anyone with children working on counting or sea life.

Another cute counting story and this time with starfish. I personally love to learn about starfish and it is great for children to be exposed to all types of animals and sea life. This cute starfish explores their surroundings of the beach, waves, and tide pools as they grow in numbers. The language in the story exposes emotions and extensive word choices, which is great for foundational learning to prepare preschoolers for school. Illustrations are beautiful but definitely color digital or hardcopy is best for this selection. Great facts on starfish included as well as some fun activities for children to do.

I’ve previously read the Ten Little Sea Turtles in this collection and it was so great that I already knew this one would be as well! And honestly I didn’t even know what sandpipers were until I read this book. So even though it is a book for children, as a parent, it doesn’t hurt to keep learning! These little cute birdies keep adding up to its group on each page in different sequences of events. Children are exposed to extensive language and exploration of beach life in a group setting. My favorite part is when they meet up with their mother and line up behind her as to infer on following their parent, role model, teacher, or any leader influence. Little tidbits of information are shared on sandpipers as well.

What a great children’s book! Perfect for those kids in preschool age range either for daycares or at home. Children will not only learn the importance of counting their numbers but also the great bond of sea turtles, working together with others, and the beauty of sea life. Children are exposed to so many learning fundamentals that become foundational blocks for advanced learning as well. The illustrations are so beautiful as well! Definitely hardcopy of this book is better than digital format to enjoy pictures but also free exploration for those little hands!

Real world events seen from another perspective. Terri Sabol’s Oscar and Emmy series makes the reader take a step back and remember that as important as it is for you to have a plan for disasters it’s important to have them for your pets too. As the news showed in the book several abandon their pets out of the lack of a plan and preparation for what’s needed to take them. Added facts on details and more information on what’s needed for pet emergency kits is amazing. Also, this book teaches the reader to have empathy for those less fortunate in disasters and small ways they can help that leave big impacts like making cookies and teaching others how to make a kit for their pets.

Stunning illustrations and easy to read. Kim Ann’s books are always a winner with growing little readers. The easy-to-read stories take you on a journey with the turtles, in this book, as one is added on with each turn of the page. Before you know it you have reached the end where there are facts and a fun little counting search game for your little one to enjoy.

Want to learn about how to weather a hurricane? Oscar & Emmy live through one and tell us what it’s like. Also there’s information at the back of the book on actual hurricanes and then how to get through them. There’s also a pet disaster kit list at the back which I found interesting and useful. I think people will like this one, especially young children who are starting to read.

The artwork in this book is beautiful. I felt bad for poor Rocky, it looked like he thought he didn’t fit in with his own family but, when he had an idea on how to help them out, they al praise him and he realizes he fits in well, he was just too shy to speak up it seems. Him and his cousin Rascal hit it off and make a great team together. I chuckled at the angry chicken in the background during the egg eating contest. Such a sweet read.

I enjoyed this book, I like that there are many different mysteries for Amanda to discover, this is what holds my interest. My favorite mystery was the “The World’s Biggest Magnet” I can’t lie, I laughed along with Amanda realizing that the magnet was on Elaine’s head, the reason she could never find the north wall. The art throughout the book is lovely, reminds me of the old newspaper cartoons. This is a great book to read with kids, to teach them many new things and how things work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ten Little Sandpipers is a cute counting book that will surely be a hit for toddlers and preschoolers.

The author uses rhythmic text and bright colors to engage young children. The sandpipers have a great adventure and encounter many other sea creatures, teaching children the value of conservation.

I loved the facts included at the end. I had no idea sandpipers change their colors when trying to impress other sandpipers. I also loved the games included at the end, which will reinforce teaching children how to count. As with the other books, there is a QR code included that children can listen to and sing along to.

What a fantastic addition to this series, which is not only sweet and educational but also highly interactive!

I have become such a fan of this series! It’s a book that is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who want to learn more about starfish and teaches them how to count.

The starfish are vibrantly colored to keep children’s attention, and rhymes are used to engage them as well. In the end, there were fascinating facts about starfish. I even learned something new. I had no idea they had eyes on the tips of their arms.

This was another little treasure from Kim Ann.
