Happy Saturday!! ✨
.

We started our day off with some reading and when I went up to get the baby Bradon pulled Ruaridh onto his lap and took over reading (aka, he has the book memorized) to him. Melted my heart! I just love moments like these. 💕

Now, let's hope they get along as well the rest of the day! And if not, well, here's proof they do love each other 😜

With the air slowly warming I'm starting to get some summer vibes, so we're reading this treat tonight.
Mossy By Jan Brett ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ One of our favorite authors and books! This story about a one of a kind magnificent eastern box turtle who grows a garden on her carapace and is captured for display in a museum, teaches us the wonders of nature and why its best to be an observational biologist. If you love flowers, ferns, butterflies, dragonflies, birds, shells and nature as a whole, you will drool over the beautiful illustrations and intricate borders. #bookwormsinthesun #bookwormsinthesunreviews #mossy #easternboxturtle #turtle #growagarden #respectnature #observe #biologist #zoologist #herpetology #janbrett #childrensbook #childrensbookreview #readtolovelovetoread #readtoyourkids #readtoachild #homeschool #bookworm #favoritebook

"Several animals sleep snugly in Nick's lost mitten until a bear sneezes. When Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing. One by one, woodland animals find the mitten and crawl in; first a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger and others, each one larger than the last." #themitten #janbrett #read #reading #readtome #literacy #readtome #reuse #reducereuserecycle #readingisfundamental

#leadership was a topic of discussion at our house last night. I can’t think about leadership without thinking of this book. Leaders: get to know the people you’re leading. When you’ve shown them you know them and appreciate them for who they are, you’re ready to roll. #jesusexample #ittakesallkinds #leadbyserving #janbrett
It’s another umbrella kind of day ☂️ Here is another one of Brett’s delightful stories. As in The Mitten, green forest animals start climbing into Carlos’ umbrella one after the other. Enjoy this fun story! #janbrett #janbrettbooks #rainydays #umbrella #kidslitart #picturebooks #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #kidsbookstagram #booksforsmallreaders #scholastic #

New season, new books! Some hardy board books for June to explore, lots of new facts and ideas for Row to consider, and wonderful stories for us all!
Jan Brett is the queen of Children’s books. Many of her titles I’ll be sharing periodically. But to begin here, is one we grabbed from the library this week. “Mossy” by Jan Brett is a tale about a turtle who grows moss and flowers on her shell. One day Dr. Caroline and her niece, Tory, take mossy to their wildlife exhibit. Despite the exhibit success, Tory thinks Mossy is sad, so they release her back into the wild, but not before making something special to remember Mossy by. Jan Brett’s illustrations are always beautiful, intricate and full of color. #janbrett #mossy #turtle #childrensbooks #homelibrary #readtoyourkids #nevertoomanybooks #beautifulillustrations #wildlife #booksarebest

Spring break being the week after Easter meant we’re a little late on dying eggs but the kids still had a blast with these cool plastic eggs. And we all love looking at Jan Brett’s gorgeous detailed illustrations in this sweet Easter book. #easterbook #janbrett #childrensbook #kidcrafts #dyingeggs #easterfun #springbreak #springbooks #springtime
I had to choose an image featuring the #PussyWillow in honor of #DyngusDay , the day after Easter! It’s a Polish-American holiday that involves tapping people with pussy willows and/or squirting then with squirt guns... Dyngus “flirting”!

We are on a Jan Brett kick at our house. I love her stories with rich themes and cultural twists. Our happy hens were on Daisy’s side the whole time and got a little nervous when they heard the words “cooking pot!” Check our favorite books to teach and discuss life lessons at Little Reader Big World.

Сегодня Международный день детской книги, приуроченный ко дню рождения Г. Х. Андерсена:) Поздравляю всех! Ибо каждый человек так или иначе причастен к этому празднику: кто-то как читатель и зритель, другие как авторы, иллюстраторы и издатели:) с детской книгой соприкасается абсолютно каждый человек, только одни - в своём детстве, а затем в детстве своих детей, внуков и правнуков, а другие, в силу профессии, не прекращают этого взаимодействия ни на минуту:) Сегодня я покажу вам недавно приобретённую мной книгу:) Иллюстратор - Джен Бретт (Jan Brett), 68-летняя американка:) И я не зря указала на возраст, здесь он объясняет многое. Я очень скучаю по таким "картинкам" и мировосприятию. Оно наполнено каким-то настоящим теплом, которого я не вижу в современных иллюстраторах, ну, или, крайне редко вижу, к сожалению. #childrensbookday #booksfromtheshelf #book #childrenillustration #worldillustratiors #mybookscollection #janbrett #illustration #childrenbook #деньдетскойкниги #книгисполки #книга #детскаяиллюстрация #мировыеиллюстраторы #моякнижнаяколлекция #дженбретт #иллюстрация #детскаякнига

Loved this beautifully illustrated story today, The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. Every time we read it we notice more details- a real feast for the eyes!

I adore the gorgeous illustrations in Jan Brett’s The Easter Egg. Hoppi the bunny is in pursuit of making the best egg to show to the Easter Bunny. He is inspired along the way by other rabbits creations (swipe to see a few of the creative designs he comes across) but ultimately takes another path. Each page has so many interesting details to find. Ages 4+. #kidbookstagram #childrensbooks #easter #easterbooks #easterbooksforkids #janbrett #theeasteregg
How stinkin’ cute did these Easter egg writing pieces turn out?! 🐰💕🐣We have really enjoyed working on them this short school week. My students had a choice... They could retell the story The Easter Egg by Jan Brett in their writing OR they could write their own fairytale for how their egg was created. They got to be little and have some fun and I got to differentiate 🙌🏼 #teacherscore #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #firstgrade #firsties #iteachfirst #iteachtoo #eastercraft #easterwriting #theeasteregg #janbrett

Our Easter reading this week: The Easter Egg by Jan Brett and The Donkey's Easter Tale by Adele Bibb Colvin. Both were given to my twin boys years ago by special family members, and the boys seem more interested in them now (at 8) than ever before. The Easter Egg is secular, has a lovely message and is beautifully illustrated, as all Brett's books are (We also love The Mitten!). The Donkey's Easter Tale is told from the perspective of a donkey that carried Jesus. It touches on Parables, the Last Supper, and the Crucification and Resurrection. Either book makes a great gift for the little in your life! What Easter books do you recommend? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #easter #easterbooksforkids #easterbooks #janbrett #theeasteregg #thedonkeystale #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #eastergifts #godparentgifts
{Wicked} proud of our students tonight! After many snow days our Kindergarten Art Show was finally open to the public for viewing. This year's author study was on Massachusetts' native Jan Brett. The kids did such an amazing job! Swipe to see our Mossy inspired turtles 👉🏻 🐢

It's totally a bushel of fun! One of my favorite authors while teaching was Jan Brett. She created beautiful illustrations that helped the children know what was to come next on each page. That's her thing. It became a "thing" to look forward to in the classroom too. So... it's only fitting to put one of her Easter stories in a Simply Very Nice curated basket! #easterbasket #childrengifts #giftshop #giftbasket #curatedgifts #ecofriendly #organiccandy #childrensbooks #janbrett #pkolino #mudpuppykids #torieandhoward #kido #curatedwithlove #simplyverynice
🐰 Another “egg-cellent” Easter book to enjoy! The Easter Egg, by Jan Brett includes her signature illustrations and a wonderful story about the importance of doing the right thing instead of working to impress others.

Yesterday, I posted a photo of my daughter reading Jan Brett's The Mermaid. This book is so beautiful that I wanted to share a peek of the inside. It's an underwater rendition of the three little pigs, with octopi instead of pigs and a mermaid instead of Goldie Locks. Currently, we are slightly obsessed with it. #bookstagram #kidsreading #charlottemasonliving #homeschool #fairytale #bookclub #bookworm #readaloudrevival #picturebooks #janbrett #themermaid #mermaid #

3.18.2018 Happy National Buzzard Day! March snow is a buzzard, feasting on our souls, weakened and vulnerable after a long and dark winter. Another layer of white stuff holds us in a relentless grip when I really just need a warm hug from the sun. Also, I'm so tired of washing winter coats and dressing the children in layers. #overit #andneuholidays2018 #notcelebratingsnow #janbrett #stepupspring #doyourjob #stressinducedhashtags #warmupalready #notaneskimo #ineedtoworkfromhome #wouldneverleaveduringwinter #ineedanap #orrehibernation
A delightful Jan Brett fable on the virtue of being in the right place at the right time. Especially timely for our family, as we’ve enjoyed a surplus of turnips in our biweekly CSA box from @morath_orchard . (Makes for excellent soup!) I love the way Brett uses foreshadowing in her side panels. Brilliantly illustrated as always! #cliftonreadingculture #schoolofcliftonia #janbrett #wichitafallspubliclibrary

And here are the last of our Easter recommendations for this year! 🐇 "The Easter Egg" by Jan Brett has all the intricate illustrations the author is know for as well as a sweet story. All the bunnies are trying to make the most beautiful egg so they can earn the privilege of helping the Easter Rabbit deliver his eggs. Hoppi is having a hard time coming up with a beautiful egg to create when he comes across a robbin's egg that has fallen out of the nest. He stays and keeps the egg safe and warm even though it means missing the competition. 🐇 "The Littlest Bunny in..." series by Lily Jacobs. There is a book written for each state and even some cities. You can read about the Easter Bunny flying over familiar sites as he hides eggs and eventually makes it to your house. 🐇 "The Night Before Easter" by Natasha Wing is written after the pattern of "The Night Before Christmas" as the Easter Bunny lays out treats. The author has a "Night Before..." book for all the holidays and we always enjoy reading them. 🐇 "It's Easter Chloe Zoe" by Jane Smith. There is big Easter egg hunt happening and Chloe Zoe really wants to find the special golden egg that has been hidden. When her friend finds it instead she has to figure out how to deal with her emotions. I read this book at a storytime right before the kids did an egg hunt and, unbeknownst to me, someone had brought a gold egg as one of the eggs to hide. The kid who found it was thrilled and we hadn't planned it at all 😄. 🐇 . The adorable bows and moccasins were made by my friend @olivia.kate.designs . ➡️The Amazon affiliate links for all of these books are on my Facebook page. (You can get there through the link in my profile.)
