Michelle My Bell Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I love picture books and I decided since we read so many, I would like to post them as we read them as a record of all the wonderful books we read, but also as a way to share the gems we pick up. I would love some visitors even though it is brand new. If you have a book you would recommend me to review, please leave a message in the message box on the right.

jenL Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 What a GREAT idea! I love picture books too! I wish I knew how to blog... I left you a book I'd love to have you review. It's a favorite in our house, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you read A Picture Perfect Childhood by Cay Gibson? If not, I believe you'd like it. I've bookmarked your blog in my favorites. Can't wait to learn about more books! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenneinCA Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I left a message on your blog about one of my favorite books. I loved Anatole by Eve Titus. It is about a mouse who works in a cheese factory. I hope you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 My library doesn't have A Picture Perfect Childhood! Bummer, but it does have Anatole, so I am looking forward to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2denj Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks so much for posting this! I LOVE your blog! Can I make a request? I was wondering if maybe you could put an age range in your reviews. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peek a Boo Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I couldn't get the comment box to work [probably my prob], but my all-time favorite picture book is William Tell by Terry Small. Rich illustrations w/ rhyme and meter that beg to be read aloud. Clear yet concise touching on the Christian aspect, and cleverly written gems. my 3yo and 5yo wil sit through the story, but the text is still above their reading level [5yo's still working on some basics]. My 8yo and 12yo will listen attentively and react positively. Even my 15yo likes reading it aloud: it does roll of the tongue quite nicely. I probably have a thousand picture books in my collection, and I love them too! so I'll try to help you out. :-) off the top of my head.....

Kirch Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's a great idea! I've been so focused on finding ability-appropriate books for my older ds that when we get to the library, I realize I don't have anything in mind for my younger. I have lists somewhere . . . but reviews would be awesome! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle My Bell Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 I added ideal age ranges to the reviews to get an idea what level it would best be understood by. But as many of you know, pictures books are excellent for all ages 0-100. I also added another post today on Iditarod picture books.
