Welcome to Litsy!

Today I read this classic to the UTK classes I've been visiting weekly. One of the classes made me a lovely "thank you" poster with photos from the first day I read to them. No photo of the poster because it has pictures of the kids on it, but it's so sweet!

I‘m getting an early start on #foodandlit this month. I was scouring the internet for children‘s books set in the Netherlands that are for Jace‘s age range & this is the first one I found. It‘s a cute story but doesn‘t actually mention anything about the Netherlands. If anybody has any good recs let me know. 4⭐️🇳🇱

3 ⭐ Once again, the illustrator does all the heavy lifting in this book. It‘s well known that many kids first word is mama or mom or mommy and that often when trying to get kids to say more things they just repetitively call for Mom. This book plays on that as animals are trying to teach their children new words and all they say is mama. This is very expected after having read Dada and while it is fine it is still nothing new.

This book describes a short journey with a father and his daughter Trixie to the laundry mat.

“But Knuffle Bunny was no where to be found....“

“AGGLE FLAGGLE KLABBLE”

This story is great for young children to relate to and is very simple read!

This book was published in 2004 and received the Caldecott Honor award in 2005. The author created an adventurous story that is very true to life that children can relate to! The expressive cartoon drawings and funny storytelling create good emotion from readers.
