The Places We Call Home: A Picture Book to remind us that home is where all love begins. By Kim Ann. This is such a wonderful children’s book and I’m getting a copy for my new Grandson! Its a book that has beautiful pictures and tells us that no matter where you live if there is love it can be classified as home. We all live differently but the result is the same. You can live in the city or the country and its still a home. Even animals live in different places and they are still called homes. Such a fun children’s read!

Absolutely love Kim Ann’s books. Such fun and beautiful illustrations mixed with “fun fonts” that make it fun to read for all ages. I love how inclusive the author is also. This book didn’t just talk about different people’s homes but also included all animals, land, air, water. As well as different locations, cities, towns, mountains, grasslands, beaches.

This is a cute little picture book that I think my grand daughter will enjoy. She can see the pretty pictures and as she gets a little older and can read she will enjoy reading it to herself. Now we can just read it to her and show her the pictures.
It shows the different places that people can live, in the city, in the country, etc. Check it out your little one will enjoy it too.

I really like the concept behind this story of not only the different types of homes, but also the different types of families within those homes. I love the sing-songy nature of the story and the illustrations that went along so well too. We also get to see different animals in their habitats as Ann has incorporated that into the different types of homes she represents. It’s just so imaginative and bold and bright and colorful and diverse. I really do love this book and Kim Ann is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine.

The book shines in its illustration and storytelling. The vibrant and imaginative illustrations are not only captivating but also enrich the text, making the reading experience immersive and engaging for young children.

After reading Ten Little Starfish, I just had to jump in to read the other counting books like it. This not only has a great counting aspects but also has some really great descriptive learning words which we loved to practice. I also loved the little tidbits at the end of the books about the sandpipers.I now have to go read other books from this talented author. My littles will love them just like they love these ones.

Kim Ann books have some beautiful illustrations that make me want to read more from this author. I’ve always wanted to witness baby sea turtles going back to the sea, and now does my little one. He loves the water and everything with it. So this book was a perfect read for us tonight. Also what made it better was that he was learning his numbers as we went through the book. Looking forward to reading more!

This is one book in the Marine Life Counting Collection, and it’s tied for our favorite! To be fair, they’re all three tied because they are all absolutely wonderful. The illustrations throughout this series are some of my favorites in any children’s book I have read. We look forward to all of the fun facts at the end because it turns out that no one in the family knows them. My youngest likes to share these facts with random passersby, so he’s spreading the word! The rhyming always has us bopping along and the QR code for the song at the end was an awesome bonus! I highly recommend adding this to your classroom or home collection for the little ones in your life.

My kiddos and I have read a few books by this lovely author before and picked this one up as we love anything involving the beach! The illustrations in this story are absolutely beautiful and brought a smile to our faces as well. There are some fun facts towards the end that none of us knew! It was so cool to learn those together. The rhythmic rhyming had all of us bopping along as we read it out and made it sound like a song. This would be a great addition to any classroom, library, or home collection for young ones!

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!

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.
