Pretty picture books

It is Monday. And here are a few fun picture books.

Melody

All Things Bright and Beautiful - words by Cecil Frances Alexander
This is my favorite - gloriously colorful cut paper illustrations carry the hymn Mrs. Alexander wrote in the 1800's. The music itself is in the back of the book, so you can play, sing and enjoy this book over and over.

Ages 4-10

Art; music; history (read about the author!)





Stormy Weather by Debi Gliori

Sweet bedtime story of love, safety and protection with animal mommies protecting their babies, the illustrations are to be enjoyed again and again.

Ages 3-7

Science (weather); geography (where do the animals live);



Polo and the Magician by Regis Faller

I love the Polo books. Almost no words are used, yet intricate stories are told. And each one is worth 'reading' again, and again.

Ages 5-10

Great for preliteracy - narrative skills - have your child tell the story.
