The Storm Whale<\/a>, by Benji Davies<\/em><\/p>\n

I wanted to feature two books geared more towards Emil’s and Oliver’s ages. The first, The Storm Whale<\/em>, is a sweet and simple but beautifully illustrated book about a little boy who finds a beached baby whale after a storm. His empathy for the creature is touching, and his father’s reaction is equally heartfelt. It’s a good lesson on helping and also on saying good-bye when you love something\/someone that doesn’t belong to you.<\/p>\n

Plus, the illustrations are just beautiful. I kind of want to move into that cottage by the sea.<\/p>\n

My Teacher is a Monster! (No, I Am Not)<\/a>, by Peter Brown<\/em><\/p>\n

This one is Emil’s favorite book right now. It is about a transformation of sorts, or at least a change of perspective. As one little (mischievous) boy gets into trouble at school, he views his teacher as a green-faced, stomping, roaring monster. But when he encounters her in the real world, that all starts to change…<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0446\"<\/a>\"DSC_0447\"<\/a>It intrigues Emil how the teacher, once green-faced with gruesome features, slowly shifts into a pleasant human being as he gets to know her as just that. It is perfect \u2014 just what a three-year-old should be intrigued by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
