Whose Eyes Are These
This book is about learning through play. There is a rhyming-poem on each page. The last word is missing. The reader or page-player fills-in the missing word with the animal’s name that is pictured opposite the poem. Context clues can be used as well. Then too the pages may be colored to add beauty to the illustrator’s art. The overall idea is to have fun and enjoy the read.
Sammy Snails
What time is it? Do you know? This book’s about a time for quiet, wherever you may go. Sammy Snail is the main character and he says, whether we’re over at the train yard or down by the zoo, we need a time for quiet, yes, for me and you. The collage style illustrations take you to places where Sammy Snail asks people to help make a quieter environment. Sharing and caring happen and, as you probably guessed, mindfulness through reflection is addressed.
