Today I visited a local kindergarten class and read the story, "Corduroy," by Don Freeman to the children.  The young kindergarteners were delighted to hear about Corduroy, who was a little stuffed bear in the department store waiting for someone to take him home.  It's a wonderful story to read to preschoolers and to children in the early elementary grades.  For the kindergarteners, I asked questions, such as, "What did Corduroy lose?" and "What did Corduroy take the button off of?"  Whenever I visit a classroom, I like to discuss the book with the young children before I encourage them to look at the book at home and have someone re-read the book to them.

I enjoyed reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle to young children.  It is a fun board book with pages of different sizes with punched holes on some pages.  It teaches children counting and also the days of the week.  Also, the children can learn that a caterpillar transform into a beautiful butterfly.  It's a good book to read to preschoolers!!

Do you like the book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What  Do You See?"  I think this is a great book to read to your child, especially children who are under 5.  It is fun to read and easy for children to memorize.  Your child can learn colors and after a few times, he or she will know what will come on the next page.  Have a great day and enjoy reading to a child. 

Thanks for visiting this website and the book review section.  Please come back for more reviews.
