Kid Reads: September 7, 2023

I read a lot of books with my kiddo. Kid Reads is a biweekly look at what we've enjoyed recently. ​

Disney Junior Fancy Nancy: 5-Minute Stories
​
Various (Author), Disney Storybook Art Team (Illustrator)

This was a grandparent find and the kiddo took to the stories immediately. She loves dresses and "girly" things and this character showcases a lot of that. I like that I get to say words in French. The stories are cute and full of life lessons that the kiddo can grasp. She has favorites from this series that she likes to hear again and again.

Where is the Dragon?
Leo Timmers

Kiddo picked this one up at the library. It shows three knights going out at night to make sure a dragon doesn't attack their king while he sleeps. Each page looks at what's actually hiding behind a scary shadow. It's very cute with art that looks almost 3D.
Waiting is Not Easy
Mo Willems

Mo Willems is fantastic. His art is simple and sketch like but full of emotion and movement.  It's fun to read this story in different voices. Kiddo loves the surprise cameo by Pigeon at the end.

Angelina, Star of the Show
Katharine Holabird (Author) and Helen Craig (Illustrator)

All of the Angelina books are fun, but Kiddo has been asking for this one a lot recently. I think she loves the costume. Angelina can be a bit of a spoiled child, but the books always show how she learns and grows.

Bored - Nothing to Do!
Peter Spier

This was one of my books growing up. It follows two bored kids as they decide to build a working airplane out of things around their home... including the car engine. The art is detailed and the story itself is a lot of fun. This will always be one of my favorite kids' books.
First Animal Facts: Ocean
Kidsbooks Publishing

The kiddo likes this one mostly for the buttons. She loves to find the animals on each page and press the corresponding sound button. Not much of a story here and the facts are simple. The art is a nice blend of illustrations and photographs.

Dust Dragons
Steven Reutiman (author) and Heather Friedel (Illustrator)

This one was written by my husband's colleague and it is an utter delight. The story is one of bravery  and overcoming fear. It's also about family - both biological and found. Now, whenever our kiddo sees motes of dust in the air, she calls them dragons. It's fantastic.
The Napping House
Audrey Wood (author) and Don Wood (illustrator)

This was one of my books growing up. It tells the story of a big nap pile-on and what happens when everyone wakes up. The illustrations slowly morph in color through the story which helps set the scene. Kiddo is so into this right now we read it several times in a row.

Goodnight Little, Abigail
Jennifer Dewing (author) and Mary GrandPre (illustrator)

We were gifted this book when the kiddo was born. She goes through phases of forgetting it exists but always comes back. I think she likes hearing her name and seeing it on the pages. The illustrations are gorgeous - deep color and wonderfully detailed.
