Library Books:PantsLizard in a Blizzard Happy to Be Me

A Trip To The Library Last week, I took my 2 year old granddaughter to the library, and we took out her first 3 library books on her very own card. She feels quite grown up having her own card, and she closely watched me scan the books out. I'm sure she'll be wanting to use the machine herself next week! I plan to make library visits a regular event with her to encourage her love of books. We read all three books together as soon as we got home, and she's chosen to read them again a couple of times. Pants Written by Giles Andreae & Nick Sharratt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Published by Puffin (22 Aug. 2019) Genre Baby & Toddler Nursery Rhyme eBooks Pages 32 ISBN-10 0241381681 ISBN-13 9780241381687 ASIN B07G4PZ5GG For children aged 0 - 5 years The blurb: Small children (and lots of adults!) love pants. They love talking about them and giggle whenever pants are mentioned. Pants are funny! In this picture book we meet lots of different animals, people and even inanimate objects each wearing different kind of pants! My thoughts: My granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Pants. It’s a colourfully illustrated, comical rhyming-story book about pants which made us both laugh. It was fun and quick to read, and immediately grabbed my granddaughter’s attention. There is something about underwear… even for a two-year-old. She has asked for it several times and is intent on describing what she can see in the pictures as soon as I read the words on the page. A definite winner.

My thoughts: Lizard in a Blizzard is a comical, quick read about a lizard who creates a snow machine. However, once it starts, he can’t get it to stop. It has a rhyming story with lots of fun illustrations which my two-year-old granddaughter and I enjoyed talking about. It has also helped to extend her vocabulary.
