But they are not holiday books, and they cover a range of ages.<\/p>\n

Be Brave, Be Brave, Be Brave: A True Story of Fatherhood and Native American Heritage<\/a>\"\"* by Native American author F. Anthony Falcon comprises the thoughts of the author about what lessons he would pass from his heritage to his son.<\/p>\n

There is also a Hurricane. This is a large format picture book with text to read to a young one, mainly. Adults will enjoy the read as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Copycat Science<\/a> and Nature’s Light Spectacular<\/a> are two books I have already reviewed. They are excellent, highly recommended, and I’m putting this reminder here to remind you now that ’tis the season to give your covid-quarantined friends and relatives with kids a nice book.<\/p>\n

For littler kids just learning to read and spell, The B on Your Thumb: 60 Poems to Boost Reading and Spelling<\/a>\"\" by Colette Hiller* is a clever expose of the irony of letters and words designed to help kids spell in this zany, crazy, language called English.<\/p>\n

Continuing along on the theme of words, since your first kid ate the last letter book, consider a newer version, printed on heavy card stock and with no sharp edges, ABC for Me: ABC What Can I Be?: YOU can be anything YOU want to be, from A to Z<\/a>\"\" by Sugar Snap Studio* adds adventure and diversity to this genre. Each entry (I think there are about 26 of them) is a person in a profession, such as “Game Developer” and “Helicopter Pilot.”<\/p>\n

All of these books are solid works of printing, colorful, excellently illustrated, well composed and written, and fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
