Whimsical, Educational Children's Books by Debbie Ladd {Giveaway}
Wednesday, September 29, 2010 Posted by Jolly Mom
I was recently introduced to Debbie Ladd, a children's book author that both Lucas and I have fallen in love with. Debbie's books beautifully combine whimsy, educational subject matter, and humor into books that are a true joy to read. We aren't the only ones that love them--Debbie's books have received recognition from Locks of Love, Parent and Child Magazines, and the Mid West Book Review!
The two books that we received to review are What If? and Don't Pick Your Nose.
What If?
For children ages 3-8.
28 pages - hard cover.
$12.95
What If? is a lovely book that both parents and kids will LOVE. The book asks kids questions like "What if snowflakes came down square?" and "What if kids could jump on clouds?" Whimsical questions that will engage kids and have them answering and laughing out loud. Really FUN and ENGAGING book!
Don’t Pick Your Nose
For children ages 3-8.
24 pages - hard cover.
Buy it for $12.95
I love Don't Pick Your Nose because it tackles a bad children's habit in a light-hearted and funny way while still making the point that KIDS SHOULDN'T PICK THEIR NOSE! I also love in the end, the little boy learns that "You can pick fruits and vegetables. You can pick a flower. You can pick a friend. You can pick up sticks. You can pick lots of things, but you should never pick your nose." Cute, educational book!
