Day #7: Reading Prompt : Barnyard

Our picks :

1. Big Red Barn : Margaret Wise Brown - This is a classic - The rhyme, the pictures, the togetherness in the farm - A perfect day at the farm brought to life in this book.

2. Click-Clack Moo  Cows that type  - Doreen Cronin : The illustrations are cute, the story line witty and hilarious with a twist in the end, repeated text to help your beginning reader and lots of opportunity to giggle. The cows that type fighting their boss, the farmer.  Read its sequel too - Giggle Giggle Quack.

3. Rooster Raga : Natasha Sharma: by Tulika - Again, an Arthi Anand recommendation - a story of a singing rooster.

For the very little ones - There are a number of board books with touch and feel elements. This one is our favourite - Ladybird - Baby Touch Moo!Moo! a Tab book

What is Barnyard without Moo, moo, and the baa baa. 

Do the Barnyard dance and sing the Old McDonald has a farm.

Our picks:

1. Born To Read - Judy Sierra - Thanks to Falak @ My Little Chatterbox for this recommendation.

2. It's a Book - Lane Smith - This one is a gem! If you can't get hold of this book, you got to watch this trailer here on YouTube. This is for the older i-Everything hooked kids! Yeah, even if it means showing that video to them in the i-Device or the L-Top , do it!

3. The Why-Why Girl - Maheshweta Devi - By Tulika. - A touching story of a young girl who discovers that books have the answers to all her Why-s. We haven't read this one personally but we took Arthi's word for it and pick it. Thanks Arthi. On our wishlist moved to #1. Read the review here.

0 Day #5 : 30 books in 30 days : Wordless Wednesday

As part of the 30 books in 30 days challenge, everyday of the challenge we will post a reading prompt to motivate you to read books.

Day #5 : Reading prompt : Wordless Wednesday*
So we are essentially telling you to NOT read but to look, observe and tell your own story or to have your child do it!

Here are our picks:

HUG : Jez Alborough : A book with just 2 words HUG and Mommy. A baby monkey longing for a HUG which only the Mommy can understand.

Good night, Gorilla - Peggy Rathmann - After a zoo-keeper locks the zoo at bedtime, a naughty gorilla lets all animals out of its cage.

Round and Round Books by Tullika - This set is a gem! It is not just wordless but has no pages too. The book is designed to go round and round. Your child can start the story at any picture that opens and go round and round and on and on weaving a story . We personally love this at The Bubble Ink. Defies all notions of a book!

*Complete coincidence that the day happens to be a Wednesday.

P.S: It is not mandatory for you to read on this theme or any of the above books. Tell us what you read as a comment on the wall post on FB for Day #5: March 5, 2014 or email bubbleink.writes@gmail.com or leave a comment on this blog post.
