Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have a little time left to read the August Read & Romp Roundup, which is tiny but tantalizing this time around. Thanks to all who contributed. I really do love hearing all the ways you use picture book and poetry to get the little ones in your life moving...
Catherine at
Story Snug reviews the picture book
Doing the Animal Bop by Jan Ormerod and Lindsey Gardiner. The book is full of animals, bold and colorful illustrations, and -- as you might expect -- dance moves. According to Catherine, "the rhyming text flows beautifully and is very easy to read. However, to get the full
Animal Bop experience, the accompanying CD is a must!"
At
Omazing Kids, Angela shares one of her favorite picture books to help kids learn about feelings --
My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss. In her post, Angela offers a supply list for a wonderful yoga class that incorporates music, arts and crafts, scarves for movement activities, and yoga poses for each animal in the book. Her ideas could also work in dance class, a library story time, or at home, so take a look!
Last week, First Book staffers, along with volunteers from our friends at Barclays, visited Girls Prep Bronx Elementary School in New York City, and brought along some books.
The Barclays volunteers joined kindergartners in their classrooms and read Penguin Chick Grows Up, Dr. Seuss’ My Many Colored Days, and the special Barclays edition of Bunny Money. At the end of the reading period, the students were excited to learn that they would each be taking home the three new books in a Barclays backpack. One classroom even sang a song to the volunteers to thank them for visiting and bringing new books.
This is the second time that Barclays has visited a Girls Prep school; last year, volunteers read to students at the Girls Prep Lower East Side Elementary School and also provided them with a book grant to the First Book Marketplace. Girls Prep Lower East Side Middle School will also be one of the first First Book recipient groups to receive a Barclays book grant for use on the First Book Marketplace Graduation and College Readiness section.
Cute books which I have never seen. Must check them out. Thanks!
So happy to hear you found some new books that might be of interest. The Dr. Seuss book is so different from his other books, so I remember being really surprised when I first read it. A beautiful book, though. I haven't read Animal Bop myself, but I've read the sequel and think it's pretty fun. Thanks for stopping by :)
