What My Children Are Reading: Because I am Your Daddy



This week, I'm going to focus on one book that would be perfect for Father's Day, which is coming up on June 20th. Because I am Your Daddy by Sherry North is a new picture book that is about all the things a daddy would do for his child. If he were a pilot, he would fly his daughter to school. If he were a baseball player, he'd hit the ball to her in the stands. In the story, North goes through all sorts of scenarios from the daddy being a librarian or ranger to an alien or a wizard. It's very cute and M has really enjoyed having her daddy read this book to her througout the week.

Because I Am Your Daddy

The watercolor illustrations show the love between the dad and daughter as they go through all these scenarios. Although the picture shows a girl, the things he does are not gender specific. It's just a collection of sweet examples of the things a dad would do for his child. I definitely recommend it if you have young kids ~ especially if dad is looking for a book to read to his kids.

What have you been reading with your kids lately? Hop over to Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns to share!

    Didn't see any strange arrangement, so you must have worked them out by this time.

Banned Books Week: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

This is the end of Banned Books Week and unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to write about banned books this year. But I did want to include at least one post about it, so today I wanted to share one of the book series that it seems most people are surprised to find on the list: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park.

According to Wikipedia:
The Junie B. Jones series came in at #71 on the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books from 2000-2009. Reasons cited are poor social values taught by the books and Junie B. Jones not being considered a good role model due to her mouthiness and bad spelling/grammar. This is an interesting example of a banned book. Many times there are serious, controversial topics featured in books that are challenged. Things like homosexuality, drugs, vulgar language, etc. You can actually understand why people may not want their children to read those books, and why they may challenge their inclusion in school libra…

Book Review: No Story to Tell by KJ Steele

Victoria has been put down since the day she was born. First by her parents who were disappointed that she survived while her twin brother died. Then by her verbally abusive husband and his low-life friends. But soon an intriguing artist named Elliott arrives in town and starts encouraging Victoria to follow her dream of opening her own dance studio. She also begins to receive phone calls from a mysterious someone who gets her to open up about her past and face her true feelings.

In No Story to Tell, KJ Steele has captured the small-town atmosphere and brought these characters to life. From the victimized Victoria, to her drunk and obnoxious husband Bobby and his drunk and obnoxious friends, to all the side characters who you'd expect to encounter in a town like this ~ all are so realistic in both their actions and their voices. She has written a compelling story of an abused woman who thinks she is trapped in this loveless, miserable existence. But then she finds a spark of hope…

Zoe is a typical working mother who takes the Underground through London to her office every day.

But she starts to realize this may not be a good idea after seeing her own photo in an advertisement in the newspaper. Another woman who appears in the advertisement is murdered and Zoe starts to ge…
