Freckleface Strawberry

Freckleface Strawberry has been a popular book recently. I had to put a hold on it to even check it out from the library, but I'm glad I did. The illustrations are unique with nothing too fancy. The words are bold and easy to read. It gives anyone a chance to relate to a little cute red head that is called names for being born with certain type of skin or hair color. Maybe your child isn't the tallest of the gropu and is called "small fry" all of the time (like me). Either way it's a good read to help kids look at the bigger picture and think of how wonderful they really are.

Mrs. McNosh

Mrs. McNosh Hangs up her Wash is a silly book for kids. The author Sarah Weeks writes in rhyme. The rhyme is in sink if that makes sense. I've picked up some books that have a few words that sound a like, but the timing is off and the children and the mom are wondering what is going on. Mrs. McNosh begins to hand her clothes on the line, but adds a few other things to her clothes line a like baked turkey, telephone, dog and newspaper. It's a very fun read that will make you and your kids giggle.
