As you follow a family through their day of waking up on the farm from breakfast to bedtime, from the kitchen for breakfast to the barn to feed the animals, to the garden to hoe the vegetables to the living room at night.

I absolutely adore the illustrations in this book. Love them!

It’s a rhyming book too!

Rufus Goes to School by Kim T. Griswell http://www.mommareads.net/2013/11/26/rufus-goes-to-school-by-kim-t-griswell/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/11/26/rufus-goes-to-school-by-kim-t-griswell/#comments Wed, 27 Nov 2013 03:40:47 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1441 Rufus is a pig who loves to learn and the thing he wants to learn most of all is how to read. There’s one problem though. Rufus is a pig and pigs aren’t allowed in school. Rufus doesn’t give up though. He keeps going back to the principal again and again to prove that he’s ready for school. Once Rufus convinces the principal that he’s there to read (with his backpack, lunchbox, nap blanket and favorite book in hand) the principal decides that it’s worth a shot.

I Love You, Nose! I Love You, Toes! by Linda Davick http://www.mommareads.net/2013/11/26/i-love-you-nose-i-love-you-toes-by-linda-davick/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/11/26/i-love-you-nose-i-love-you-toes-by-linda-davick/#comments Wed, 27 Nov 2013 01:42:00 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1435 It has been months and month since I’ve added a new book to MommaReads, but I have a whole stack of books here ready to review and this one is so cute I knew it had to be the first one.

If you have a little one who is into pointing out body parts then they will love this book. If you’ve been a MommaReads fan for awhile then you know I love a good rhyming book and this one doesn’t disappoint in the department either.

The zookeeper has a special surprise for the pandas and the kangaroos though.

Super cute and a great naptime or bedtime read.

First Peas to the Table by Susan Grigsby http://www.mommareads.net/2013/05/10/first-peas-to-the-table-by-susan-grigsby/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/05/10/first-peas-to-the-table-by-susan-grigsby/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 18:07:02 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1421 This is the perfect book if you have your own home garden or if you are a teacher and you have a garden at your school. The teacher in this story tell the students about how Thomas Jefferson and his friends had a contest each year to see who could fill a bowl full of peas first using the peas grown from their own gardens. Thomas Jefferson learned that there were a lot of different types of peas and some grew bigger and faster than others.

The students in this story end up having the same contest amongst themselves in their classroom. They learn about different pea varieties, the effect weather can have on growing and good sportsmanship. Eventually someone does win the crown for the first bowlful of peas.

Monsters on Machines by Deb Lund http://www.mommareads.net/2013/05/10/monsters-on-machines-by-deb-lund/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/05/10/monsters-on-machines-by-deb-lund/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 17:52:08 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1418 These monsters have a lot of work to do with their backhoes, bulldozers and trucks, but they still find some time for a nap…then it’s back to work. I know there was a time in my boys’ lives when they would have LOVED this book..right about the time they were into Bob the Builder and his crew. I love this book because the monsters are cute and it rhymes.

Llama Llama Time to Share by Anna Dewdney http://www.mommareads.net/2013/04/06/llama-llama-time-to-share-by-anna-dewdney/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/04/06/llama-llama-time-to-share-by-anna-dewdney/#comments Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:08:18 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1414 Llama has a new neighbor who has come over to play. They are playing together very well until the new neighbor decides to play with Llama’s favoritest doll EVER. Things go south quick and the doll goes in time out until everyone can apologize and agree to play together nicely. I am pretty sure every family whose had a small child in their house will be able to relate to poor Llama and his sharing dilemma. These books also rhyme…I love a good rhyming book. :)

Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson http://www.mommareads.net/2013/04/06/bear-says-thanks-by-karma-wilson/ http://www.mommareads.net/2013/04/06/bear-says-thanks-by-karma-wilson/#comments Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:38:50 +0000 http://www.mommareads.net/?p=1411 You just cannot go wrong with a Karma Wilson/Jane Chapman “Bear” book. The story is sweet, the rhyme is endearing and the illustrations are lovely. In this installment, Bear’s friends all come by with food to share, but it seems that Bear doesn’t have anything to share because his cupboards are bare. Of course his friends don’t mind and there’s plenty to go around and the best thing to share is their friendship.
