Work: An Occupational ABCWritten and Illustrated by:
Kellen HatanakaPublished by:
Groundwood Books
Published on: August 5, 2014
Ages: 3+This ABC book is not as simple as it appears. It pays homage to a variety of occupations, opening up the vocabulary of the toddler audience as well as their imagination.
Hatanaka's illustrations seem like they are straight out of a mid-century classic.
Aviator and jockey
Vibraphonist and Xenologist
It's not that Hatanaka is introducing concepts that are new to preschoolers- he is introducing concepts that are new to the adults doing the reading aloud as well. His message is that anything could be work so why not think outside the box?
The mid-century-esque illustrations make this seem like a book that shows things have been possible in the past, so you can be a vibraphonist if you want! It all looks so much more interesting than being a desk jockey.
Kicking a Ball
Written by: Allan Ahlberg
Illustrated by: Sebasten Braun
Published by: Puffin Books
Published on: May 1, 2014
Ages: 3+
The World Cup starts today! Despite the controversies, we are so excited in our house! Soccer is our game and we are all rooting for Japan and a variety of secondary countries. May the best team win!
The bloated capitalism of the FIFA organization and the very important concerns of the Brazilian peoples haven't been enough to put us off. The reason is, like this book, very simple. Two teams and a ball are just very exciting.
That joy is captured perfectly in Ahlberg's verse. The wee boy in this book just loves the time he spends with his inanimate object, the way he can manipulate it, and the joy it brings.
Props certainly need to be given to the internationalness of this book. Besides the delightful map illustrations, Ahlberg brings mention to many of the countries in which soccer is played, from Nepal to Bengal. It's lovely to see a book for kids about this game that doesn't focus on any one country.
Pick this up for the kicking or poetry lover in your life.
