What would you do if your pet ant escaped from her ant farm? Would you follow her? Even if you had promised your mama to eat your pie, and drink your milk, and stay in your cozy burrow?
Scritch.
Scratch.
Scritch.
Alfred digs. And digs. And digs. Where is Itty Bitty? And what will happen when Alfred finds her?
In this tour de force of a picture book, Lindsay Barrett George introduces an aardvark (or two), an ant (a troublemaker, really), and an adventure that takes place in a dictionary. Where? A dictionary.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
This was a cute enough boook. It was a sweet twist.
Drawing.
Reading.
Building.
Painting.
These are things Nelly loves to do...but they're always better with Daddy Gnu!
With fun-to-read rhyme, a little silliness, and a lot of warmth, Anna Dewdney--the creator of the beloved llama llama books--tells the story of a daughter and her daddy and their wonderful day together.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
My nanny kid loved the llama llama books and she equally loved this book as well. It is a book about a little gnu and her dad, playing together. It kept her interest but really wasn't her favorite.
BOOK INFORMATION:
Bounce a ball right off your hands. Bounce it off your toes. Try to bounce a beach ball on the tip of your nose! Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin, who had toddlers all over America jiggling with Wiggle, invite them now to hop, leap, pounce, and bounce to their hearts' content (though not on couches!). Because, after all, it's better to have bounced and bumped than never to have bounced at all.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
This book is excellent for early readers. It has large print, which varies in text styles, some are bolder than others. It contains illustrations that tell the story and doesn't contain many words. My nanny child loved creating a story from the pictures and also all the rhyming in this book.
BOOK INFORMATION:
A fresh, funny story about a feisty caterpillar who breaks through his limitations -- and realizes his fondest dream, by a New York Times bestselling author.
When Oscar the caterpillar discovers that he will one day become a butterfly, he's overjoyed. And his friend Edna the bookworm encourages his hopes of flying to Mexico with the other Monarch butterflies. To prepare, Oscar learns Spanish and dreams of flying through the purple Sierra Madre Mountains. But when Oscar emerges from his cocoon with stubby little wings, a craving for the taste of desginer sweaters -- and the urge to take a spin around the bathroom lightbulb-- his dreams are dashed. There will be no trip to Mexico for Oscar -- or will there?

MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
My nanny kid loved this book. This is a great book for preschoolers. It has a wide variety of good learning points. It introduces foreign language to English speaking children. Also, it teaches kids about how caterpillars go through different stages to become a butterfly. About saying goodbye, teaches kids that you can be okay when your friends leave. Teaches hello and goodbye skills. I read this book 10 times in a row and didn't want to throw it away so that's a good thing.
