Runaway Pumpkin is a great Halloween book. Although secular, Bubs and I were in stitches as we read this fun rhyming book about a large pumpkin that rolls away and creates havoc across the countryside. A fun read that will leave everyone with a smile during the Halloween season. ...

Count Down Books
There are several wonderful "count-down" books available to help your child understand the progression of counting backwards. One book that I recommend on the 3 Year Curriculum's Book of the Week is Five Little Ducks. Another great book is Ten Wriggly, Wiggly Caterpillars by Debbie Tarbett. I am not sure where my mom ...

New Printables – My Color Books
Just created - "My Color Books!" I got the idea of creating color books from Bubs' Kindergarten class.

Each book contains a title, a ...

Review: One Hand, Two Hands
Max Lucado is one talented guy. He can make an adult reread sentences about God's love because of their depth yet he can bring God's love down to the simplest terms for a child. One Hand, Two Hands is the third children's book by Max Lucado that I have read. Once again I was impressed. By use of rhyme and gentle ...
The Kissing Hand

On the first day of school his teacher read it to him as well. Google "the kissing hand" and you will find a 420,000 results. This book has ...
