Snow Bear

Snow Bear is a picture book for 4 to 8 year olds. I really thought that this book was cute and there are bears that are soft, so children can touch them as they are reading the book. I thought the idea was great. This feature sort of makes it an interactive book. I think that this is a good book to teach kids that Parents may seem like they are pestering their child, but they just want is really best for them and that parents are just looking out for their child. It teaches the lesson that after a period of time, a mother has to let her children go into the outside world, which is not always so safe. It is just hoped that children will be able to watch themselves, and for as long as possible parents will always be around for help, asdvice and so. If you are also a person that likes winter scenes or polar bears then this book would also intrigue you. Even though it is a polar bear in the book, I think that a child can relate.In a sense the polar bear baby is like a small young child inside, the way he wants to go play, but must stay near so Mom can still see him. Does he listen though? Just like children.This book serves the purpose of first entertaining and second teaching a lesson.

Pizza, Pigs and Poetry How To Write a Poem

Pizza, Pigs and Poetery How To Write a Poem by Jack Prelutsky, is a poetry book that is good for 7 to 10 year olds. I really found the poems in this book to be extremely funny, silly, and enjoyable to read. I think that this book would make kids more interested in poetry and appreciate poetry more. Included in this book also is how the author got ideas for his poems, and tips on how to start writing your own if interested. With this type of poetry book, a kid can really have fun writing poetry by taking a real life experience and then elaborating or embellishing the details entirely or partly. Before each poem a background is given on how ideas were gathered to write the poem. To me this added a lot to the poetry book. If you want a laugh, are into poetry, and like sillyness then I strongly recommend this poetry book.
