Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

IT LOOKED LIKE SPILT MILK

"Sometimes it looked like spilt milk.  But it wasn't spilt milk".  So begins a book that will spark your child's imagination and might make you want to get out the paint and glue to start an art project!  My kids enjoyed making paint blot clouds and cotton clouds after we read this book.  We also spread a big blanket on the grass in the backyard and watched clouds drift by...

This story has a predictible text pattern, with rhymes and repetition.  Great for toddlers, preschoolers or kindergartners!
