TIGER TALES WEEK - First ABC and Lift and See Animals

First ABC   Lift and See Animals
Thanks once again to the awesome folks at Tiger Tales Publishers for sharing the fall releases with me. I have been so impressed with this company from the beginning. 

First ABC - This is a great board book. There are places for kids to trace the letters with their fingers. There are flaps for each letter - the picture inside and the picture outside are of things that start with that letter. The graphics and colors are lovely. This is a large, solid, well-constructed board book at a great price ($7.99).

Lift and See Animals - On the left hand page is a picture of an animal. On the right are three flaps of animal furn/skin/feathers to match to the animal on the left. This is a really cool idea and another really well-constructed board book. This is also a great introduction to animals for little readers!

Both of these books would be great additions to your home library if you have little ones - or great gifts for families with kids under 5. These would also make great activity/distraction items for a church activity bag.

PICTURE BOOKS: Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet AND Z Is for Moose

 

Nancy and her best friend, Bree, are so excited to be in a mermaid ballet. They play mermaids all the time! But when Nancy doesn't get a mermaid part, being in the ballet doesn't sounds so fun anymore.

This is another beautiful book in the Fancy Nancy series. The illustrations are phenominal (that's a fancy word for great and pretty). There's a beautiful moment between Nancy and her mom that is precious, and the story line covers an experience common to kids. I've already gotten a copy for the library and another to share with my niece. This will be a popular addition to our school library!

4.5 out of 5 stars

Zebra is directing an alphabet pageant, but an over-eager moose keeps getting in the way.

I loved this story! I think it's a great addition to our alphabet book collection, and my students really got a kick out of the moose.
