Reading books gives your child many adventures

Dear Readers,

Today is a cold day. Where is spring and warmer weather?

Today, my wife, Anna and I have to go to a registered dietician for our diabetes 2.
We already had a first visit with her which lasted two hours. She is very thorough and precise.

She gave us a new freestyle meter, test strips, lancets and a Byetta pen for me.
She also gave us a calorie diet-1500 for my wife, and 1800, for me. She also gave us a food chart, pamplets, and a journal to record your blood sugar.

So far, Anna and I have lost a few pounds. We are happy.

We also go to physical therapy----Anna, for her knee surgery, and I, for my back, and neck.

Two weeks ago, I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. Everything was okay.


My biggest problem is Constipation. I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work.

Enough of our medical side. Let's go to children's picture books.

I recommend the following books for children to read:

1. Interrupting Chicken-by David Ezra Stein, in 2010, and Candlewick Press.
This is a cute story about a Papa chicken who reads bedtime stories to his little red chicken, and he constantly interrupts the stories. The illustrations are large and colorful, and there aren't so many words on certain pages, other than when Papa reads the stories.

This book is suited for ages 4-8.

2.My Dog Jack is Fat-Eve Bunting, and illustrated by Michael Rex.
Carson takes his dog, Jack, to the vet to lose weight. There is a surprise ending.
The illustrations are huge and colorful. There are few words on the page.
This book is suited for ages 4-9.

3. A Sick Day for Amos McGee-Philip C. Stead and illustrated by Erin E. Stead.
Amos McGee, a zookeeper, visits his animal friends, everyday. One day, he gets sick, and he is in for a big surprise. Colorful and big illustrations. Some pages have no words, just pictures. This book is suited for ages 5-9, and it is published by Roaring Book Press.

4. How Rocket Learned How to Read-Tad Hills and published by Random House.
A little yellow bird teaches Rocket how to read. The illustrations are colorful and huge, and the story is enlightening. This book is suited for ages, 4-9.

5. Big Nate Strikes Again-Lincoln Peirce and published by Harper Collins. There are pictures and words(like comic strips) on each page. This is the story of Big Nate who narrates the story about himself, his school, his friends, and what he has to say. It is very funny. Recommended for Junior High School age.


Get these books from the library for your child.
