Book of the Week: Moving Through All Seven Days by Kathy Stemke

Kathy will have you up out of your chair and moving as you read her book. Each day of the week has different moves from slipping, sliding and spinning on Sunday to wiggling, wobbling and whirling on Wednesday. She has lots of fun active words to take you through the week.

Illustrator Tony Glisson’s drawings are full of children having fun acting out Kathy’s words. I liked his illustrations for Kathy’s song near the end of the book.

How does Kathy take her book beyond reading? She has pages at the back of the book that take you through each day of the week with a fun game you can play. After that, she has several pages with fun language arts activities, coloring pages with writing skills added two them and fun word puzzles.

This is a great book to help parents and teachers alike teach the days of the week in a very fun way.

I've been given the Humane Award

When I finally got around to checking my email this evening, I found out I'd been given the Humane Award. Thank you Shari Lyle-Soffe for bestowing this honor on me.

What is the Humane Award for?

"The Humane Award honors certain bloggers who are kindhearted individuals who regularly support blogs with their sweet comments. They have tastefully done blogs that are updated on a regular basis."

Now it's my turn to pass this along. It's hard to pick only a few, but here are my choices:

Rena Jones

Kathy Stemke

Lea Schizas

Margot Finke

Thank you all, oh, TAG You're It!

4th in the 4th tag

Another Friday and another tag. This one's from Elysabeth's Emerald City.

It works like this:

I go into my pictures and post the fourth picture in the fourth album.

So, here's mine. It's a picture of when my book, "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa" was being printed. Here the quality control guy is making sure the greens are the right shades of green, the blues are too ans so on. I'm glad I was there because there were some blues, greens and browns that weren't right and we had to start all over!

So, now I have the honor of passing this tag onto four more people. Here are my picks:

Shari Lyle-Soffe

Margot Finke

Kathy Stemke

Bill Kirk

Have fun!

See ou back here Monday with another great guest tip on how to take books beyond reading.
