Pepi Sings a New Song
Pepi the parrot belongs to a boy named Peter. Pepi loves to sing to Peter, but Peter gets tired of his song. Pepi goes on an adventure to learn a new song. He goes to the bakery, the music studio, the art studio, the market, dog park, and finally back home. Pepi learns so many new words at all of his places he visited, that he comes up with a great new song for Peter that they sing together every night. This is a really cute book with great illustrations. The predictability of the book makes it great for little kids. Each different place is introduced on facing pages with the person that is at the place. Then the place is on the next two facing pages with Pepi saying all his new words in speech bubbles. For example, he goes to Manuel’s bakery and learns the words, “messy,” “whisk,” and “pastries” for example. I liked the thick, paper (not glossy) like pages of this fun book.
Bedtime Bunnies
In this cute little book, bunnies are getting ready for bed. They scamper into their tree house, chomp their dinner, sip their drinks, scrub their teeth, splash in the tub, snap on their pajamas, snuggle in for stories, bounce on the bed, hug, and shush to bed. With only four words per page, one for each bunny, this book is great for PK or kindergartners. The book has really cute illustrations and is a fun bedtime story.
