Week 14:

Cloudette VS If You Hold A Seed

Cloudette:

Age range: Probably around 4-8 yrs old.

Summary:

Sometimes being small can have its advantages. If you’re a little cloud like Cloudette, people call you cute nicknames, and you can always find a good spot to watch the fireworks. But what about when you want to do something big, like help a giant garden grow, or make a brook babble?

This charming book gets at the heart of what it means to make a difference no matter your size. Young children will find much to relate to in Cloudette as they follow her on her pursuit for greatness.

Review:

I really liked this book. The illustrations weren’t my favorite, but they were cute, so kids will like it I’m sure. The story though! It was great! A perfect little teaching book for learning that no matter how small of an impact you are able to make, what matters is that you make that impact, because it will always matter to someone.

If You Hold A Seed:

Age range: Probably around 4-8 yrs old.

Summary:

Something magical happens when you plant a dream with a seed. With plenty of love and patience, they can blossom into an extraordinary gift.
To be shared with those you love and those with big dreams, this book encourages us to never give up.

Review:

The ending for this book was great. The story could have had a little more interest to it, but it serves it’s purpose. The illustrations were interesting. I’ve never seen a collage like them before. I don’t think I liked the effect though. None the less, since art is subjective, you may very well like it!

The Winner:

Congratulations to Cloudette! 

We will see you in November!

We’ll see everyone else next week!
