Week 41:

Tap the Magic Tree VS Catch That Cookie

Tap the Magic Tree :

Summary:

It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze.

Review:

Another wonderfully simple, yet smart, interesting, and interactive book. I love books like this! I think kids will enjoy this one specifically because of the interaction. Great illustrations. They kept them simple.

Catch That Cookie:

Summary:

Marshall knows one thing for sure, despite what all the stories say: Gingerbread men cannot run. Cookies are for eating, and he can't wait to eat his after spending all morning baking them with his class. But when it's time to take the gingerbread men out of the oven . . . they're gone! Now, to find those rogue cookies, Marshall and his class have to solve a series of rhyming clues. And Marshall just might have to rethink his stance on magic. 

Review:

As I’ve stated before, I’m not a fan of long winded stories. This one wasn’t terribly long, but it did drag a little. With it’s length and all, it still had good qualities that I enjoyed. I did like the illustrations though.

The Winner:

Congratulations to Tap the Magic Tree! 

We will see you in November!

We’ll see everyone else next week!
