Evie's Field Day

Let’s Walk and Read!

June 25, 2021 Claire Annette Noland 3 Comments

Hooray! It’s Summertime! Are you looking forward to being outside, exercising, and reading a good book? Here’s a great way to combine all three of these activities as you WALK AND READ. The idea is simple. A children’s book is mounted on boards and displayed page-by-page in shop windows. Families read the story as they […]

Sportsmanship Books for Young Readers on Field Day

May 8, 2021 Claire Annette Noland 1 Comment

Ask a group of children what their favorite day of the school year is and most will answer “FIELD DAY!” Who doesn’t like to leave the classroom (or house) for an opportunity to play? For many of our youngest children, Field Day is one of the first competitive group activities that they participate in. They […]

“What does it mean to be kind anyway?” Is the ques “What does it mean to be kind anyway?” Is the question at the heart of this beautiful picture book which speaks right to a child’s heart. We certainly need kindness and let’s each do our part, no matter how small, and see how that kindness spreads. Thank you @patzmill and @jenhill for writing and illustrating this important book.

King Tides mean not only very high tides but also King Tides mean not only very high tides but also extremely low tides. This afternoon low tide was -1.2 feet. Perfect for exploring tide pools. MY DEAR SEA by Andre Carrillo is another great book for beach goers. My favorite line is
“Try not to trip, protect foot and knee,
And never forget to respect my dear Sea.”

#kingtides high tide is 6.9 feet today Be careful #kingtides high tide is 6.9 feet today 
Be careful of the waves- they can sneak up on you.
Check out THE WAVE by Suzy Lee ( @chroniclekidsbooks 2008) a beautiful wordless picture book. So much emotion in the deceptively simple art.

New book alert! Mr. Ernie Recommends Hank’s Chang New book alert! 
Mr. Ernie Recommends Hank’s Change of Heart by Cindy Williams Schrauben with illustrations by Sasha Richards (The Little Press)
Hank is a collector –of hearts. Day after day searches for things shaped like hearts and then organizes and counts them until it becomes an obsession. He doesn’t want to share until, one day, he sees a girl who needs a heart. “Maybe just one,” he thinks…
This is such a wonderful book about generosity. The joyful, bright illustrations combined with the jaunty read-aloud text will have readers spending time examining each spread and asking for repeated readings. Perfect for all those kids who love to seek, find, and collect.

Happened upon Ghosts at the library on Friday and Happened upon Ghosts at the library on Friday and this graphic novel turned out to be the perfect book for this weekend. A story of new beginnings, family, friendship, traditions, and courage. About spooky with lots of heart.
The authors notes give a great introduction to Dia de Los Muertos as well as information about cystic fibrosis  which the younger sister struggles with. The art is rich and wonderful and the coastal California setting is perfect!
