The Buzz on Books # 16
Everybody likes to go shopping, even monkeys! In the book Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping by Eileen Christelow, Mama Monkey has a hard time keeping her little monkeys to remain together and not wander off. The monkeys don't listen, and after Mama Monkey finally finds her little ones, she realizes there are fourteen little monkeys!! This book has simple math up in the corner for a child to practice subtraction while reading about silly monkeys.
Also, everybody enjoys reading! Todd Parr's Reading Makes You Feel Good describes where one can read, who one can read to, what one can read, and how, as the title says, reading makes you feel good. Reading about animals to a sibling in a park for a class project are just some of the many reasons why reading makes you feel good. These BRAND NEW books are available now in the Children's Place at the Twinsburg Public Library!

"But if every parent understood the huge educational benefits and intense happiness brought about by reading aloud to their children, and if every parent- and every adult caring for a child- read aloud a minimum of THREE STORIES A DAY to the children in their lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation." -Mem Fox, Reading Magic: Why Reading Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever
