Splat the cat

Splat the Cat    by Rob Scotton   (picture by website)

Do you like the story book  "Russell the sheep"?Yes! I do! I do love the animal style of the author Rob Scotton's Russell who had a little bit lazy, cute and smart...
but how about the cat "Splat"?? Is he smart? cute? or lazy? Guess what.....all of them plus "crazy"....
You can also find his particular shaped tail....

Many excuses for Splat not to cat school..... "I have no clean socks","I'm having a bad
hair today, "The front door  won't let me out", "The gate won't let go of my fingers..."
No one will believe that kind of bad reasons....specially for mom.

Splat finally went to school with his pet mouse stayed in his lunchbox and it was really
causing a big mess in the classroom since a cat raised a mouse as pet?????? Everyone...
no...no...every cat can't believe that, they all did what cat should do....."chasing mouse",
but Splat won't let them hurt his pet....then, guess what happened to next?

Crazy story, right?

Jack Frost

Jack Frost    by Kazuno Kohara (picture and text by website)

If you lived in a house in the woods and all your friends were hibernating
you'd probably hate winter, just like this little boy. But one day a strange
spiky figure appears and transforms the boy's world into a winter
wonderland! How long will the magic spell last?
 
 
If you can draw pictures well, you can teach your children to pick one page which they like. Choice one dark blue paper and use white color then enjoy it. I like Jack Frost's face, did you see all his feelings on the face, including anger, cheer, happiness, smile......I wish I had a winter friend like him.

Hide and snake

Hide and Snake   by Keith Baker (picture by website)

Do you have a friend like as the snake? Hey, Keith Baker's good friend, Snake, like to play the hide and seek with all friends.
Here we go....

It's a game book for children, you can find a toy snake and play the real hide and seek or there is a very creative English teacher who taught us to let our kids draw some kinds of different article, ice cream, rainbows, umbrellas, book and etc...then you can told the kids to creat their own snake from inside the picture. Don't forget ot let the other kids to guess "Where is my snake?" BTW, you can
cut the snake shape from each picture.....It must be very funny.

如果你有不只1個小孩,你能夠有夠多的時間去瞭解每個小孩的訴求及真正的需要嗎???我想答案一定是"NO",對不對??? As I know, kids are not only angels but also evils. Sometime when you just want a liitle bit free time to take a rest, they never set you free! They like to draw your attention or notice but we are always busy~

Bee Frog is the little frog in his family so she likes to be a firece, scary dragon...
but dad and mommy are too busy to notice. They don't even notice when Bee
Frog hops away to practice her dragon noises all by herself....

You know, sometimes kids just like to leave their  home then suddenly they
feel a little lonely.....like as Bee Frog~

Maybe this story can be a drama. And, we can creat the fog dance for kids~
hop, hop,hop.....I like it.


The pig in the pond

The pig in the pond     Martin Waddell   illustrated by Jill Barton

When I first read this book, I really had a great time then  I also introduced it to my Bible teacher who had the same feelings!
It's quite easy to read aloud to children and encoruage them to chime in on the many words, phrases, and animal sounds that are repeated throughout the story.

Specially, I like the pig's dancing for 6 steps:
1. rose from the ground
2. turn around
3. and around
4. stamping her feet
5. and twirling her tail
6.and "SPLASH" (jumped into the pond)
Then Splash... Splash... Splash... Splash... Splash... Splash...Oh, my,
The farmer Neligan came back and...
1. took off his hat
2. took off his pants and boots
3. took off his shirt
4. took off his underwear and...
5. and "SPLASH" (joined the pond)

Look at the ducks and the geese were splashed out off the pond....
Sooooooo...coooooool~ isn't it?
