Mommy, Am I Indian Today?Mommy, Am I Indian Today? by Sheeba Varghese
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a cute, quick read about a child who is learning about their culture. The family is going to a wedding so they put on their “fancy clothes”. Since the family only wears their Kurtas for special occasions, the child asks their mother if they are Indian today. The mother then goes into details about the family heritage and how they are Indian everyday.

I thought this book was a fun way to introduce Indian fashion culture in terms that and pictures that would make children understand easier. The illustrations were also very nice and detailed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a heartwarming story about how easy it is to always be kind. The book introduces us to three characters and we get to see them discover what it means to be kind and how it can really be done anywhere, at any time.
It was nice to see slightly older children in this book to your usual books for kids. My daughter in particular was highly invested in the characters and had plenty of questions. This is a lovely story that reinforces the kindness message in a way that resonates well with day to day life. I would definitely encourage kids to read this book.

I have a grandbaby who is about 5 months old and she has a little brother. As I was reading this book I could imagine him saying all these things to his little sister. I will be visiting with them in the next month or so and I will share this book with both of them.

It is important that we teach them that the little brother won’t take their place but what an important part they can be in teaching the little one things. A cute book for little ones or your grands.

Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat The Glue is such a fun and silly read! Luca is super into his art class but gets distracted by the glue and wonders what would happen if he ate it. This leads to some hilarious moments! The rhyming makes the story really catchy, and the colorful illustrations are so fun to look at. It’s a great way for kids to learn about self-control and making good choices without feeling like a lesson. Perfect for a funny read with kids who love art and goofing around!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I hadn’t read anything by this author before, but I’m always looking for new books to read with my kiddos so we gave it a shot. I’m beyond happy that I picked it up because it is fabulous! The illustrations are fun, vivid, and eye-catching. They helped hold my youngest kiddos attention really well as he tends to wander. We get to learn about Donut, who has been sad since her best friend moved away. She notices a neighbor squirrel, Peanut, and wonders if they can be friends. Every time she tries to start a conversation, the squirrel doesn’t give her a chance and just runs away. Bobo the Bluebird comes by to give Donut some sage advice and it is so good that it might be enough to turn everything around! This book sparked some beautiful conversations around behavior and how perception changes from person to person. I truly loved the information about Social Emotion Learning in the back of the book because it is very helpful. This is a cute and educational addition to your library!

This author became a quick favorite in our household, so I get excited any time I see a new book from them. We also absolutely adore Halloween which meant we jumped for joy when we saw this story! Gadrella loves being a witch, but she’s tired of everything staying the same. The black hats, black cats, and broom are all starting to be a little too boring. She decides that she is going to follow her instincts and wear what she loves even if it is out of the ordinary. The underlying messages throughout the story are beautiful, encouraging the reader to embrace what makes them different and trust themselves. Gadrella decides to show her friends these changes, but how will they react? I also loved the illustrations which added a spunky and fun layer to an already wonderful book. This would make a beautiful addition to any home, school, or classroom library!

What are you best at? Several friends investigate this question in this very inspiring read. One might not find a way to walk on lava but how about helping someone tie their shoes? That would show a kindness that is rarely found these days.

This is a great read but I do disagree with the last two pages of this book. I do not believe that everyone deserves a trophy in life. Other than that, this was a very enjoyable read.

An enjoyable bedtime read. It tells the tale of Donut trying to make a new friend after their best friend moved away. Each day Donut tries a new way to befriend Peanut the squirrel. Each day Peanut runs away making Donut sad. Later a bird named Bobo speaks with Donut to share how Peanut is actually scared of them and why. In the end Donut finally makes friends with not only Peanut but Bobo too!

This book breaks down how sometimes our best intentions can be viewed differently from another person. We might not always see this and sometimes looking at it differently can help us.

This is a fantastic story of kindness. Not just being kind but helping whenever a need arises. Children learn kindness, but it has to come from our parents first. Once the example is set, our children will be sure to follow. This is such a great story. It is well written and easy for our children to follow. The examples are simple yet something we see daily. The author has done a fantastic job with this story. It is a must have for all libraries.

Finally Friends by Debbie Sullivan is a cute little children’s story book that my grandson loved reading with me. It has a sweet story about Donut the dog and Peanut the squirrel (and Bobo the bird) as they go about becoming friends, learning social skills, and embracing their differences.
Donut has been very lonely since his best friend moved away. He would love to be friends with Peanut the squirrel, only all his attempts to be friends only seem to scare Peanut away. What will Donut do to convince Peanut to be his friend?
This sweet story comes with many messages along the way, such as:
-preconceived notions and not to ‘judge a book by its cover’.
-appearances can be deceiving
-social and emotional learning
-self-awareness/social-awareness
-responsible decision making
-overcoming/looking past fear
-self-management
-relationship skills
-the importance of communicating
This appears to be the first book in a new series- looking forward to seeing what adventures Donut, Peanut, and Bobo have in the next instalment/s.
Happy Reading…

What a cute story. The illustrations were beautiful as well. Donut’s best friend moved away, so she finds a new neighbor to call her friend, but can Peanut, the squirrel, ever overcome her fear and really be Donut’s friend? I think there was a very valuable lesson to be learned from this book, for example, no matter how hard Donut tried to be friendly, clean, and polite she was always just a little bit scary to little peanut because Peanut interpreted her behavior to be menacing. Thank goodness for little Bobo who made everything better by helping Donut and Peanut change their behavior and learn how to approach others.

Finding books that will keep them interested can sometimes be a challenge, but these are perfect. The bonus material is a big plus, there are QR codes, and one is for some downloadable ELA/math activities. Very easy to read and some great illustrations to keep little ones interested.

This is a super cute book that my 6 year old daughter enjoyed reading to me. Little giggles and awww how cutes throughout. Her favorite part was seeing them play and becoming friends. Some bigger words for a new reader, however easy enough for her to sound out. Adorable book! She gives 2 thumbs up!
I also love how it shows little ones to understand their feelings, social awareness, and how to build a friendship!

Gadrella by Tricia Gardella. I loved this book and so did my 6 year old nephew. We especially thought it was appropriate for this time of year. It’s the story of Gadrella a 300 hundred year old witch. Gadrella is tired of the same ole thing and she wants to change things up a bit. Gadrella is very head strong and independent and wants to do things her way. Maybe she wants to ride a bike and not a broom or maybe she doesn’t want to wear a pointy old hat and what if Gadrella wants a dog instead of a cat? Such a cute book to teach kids that its ok to be yourself and do things your way. You can use your imagination and follow your dreams anyway you want. This book is such a great book for kids and it would make a great gift for the little one in your life.

This is a great book with very short chapters. It would be great for those 8-12 to read independently or for any age to read aloud. The end of the book has different words that might be new or difficult along with their definitions. I highly recommend this book!
