Never Satisfied The Story of the Stonecutter by Dave Horowitz ($6.28)
A hilarious story about thinking the grass is greener somewhere else
Have you ever wished you were someone else? Stanley the stonecutter has, because cutting stones is hard work for a frog! So Stanley wishes he could have it easy like the tea-drinking businessman . . . and, boom, he’s transformed. Then he decides he’d be better off as the majestic king. But even that isn’t good enough when he sees the radiant sun. Why, if he were the sun, everyone would look up to him, right? Hmm, will Stanley ever be satisfied?
Dave Horowitz’s fantastic collage illustrations bring this classic folktale to hilarious life as Stanley’s endless comparisons bring him full circle. Maybe being yourself is not half bad after all!
The front cover shows the frog named Stanley looking at the stone arrangement.
The story’s synopsis is on the flap of the dust jacket.
The illustrations are charming and nicely detailed while the texts are beginner friendly because they are short and easy to understand.
The story follows Stanley, a frog who works as a stonecutter occupation. He is never satisfied with where he is in life, and he always has a new wish after one gets fulfilled. This story shows kids the importance of finding contentment, which is a very good lesson to learn at such a young age.
Monkey Time by Michael Hall ($17.84)
Can you catch a minute? A monkey chases a minute in the rainforest in this clever, funny, and informational story about the concept of time from Michael Hall, the New York Times–bestselling and acclaimed author of Red: A Crayon’s Story. An excellent choice to share during homeschooling. It’s a fun way to learn basic concepts of telling time.
Monkey Time stars a silly monkey and sixty minutes, and it is perfect for fans of Mo Willems’s Waiting Is Not Easy! and anyone learning about how time passes. Look for surprises in the pictures on every page!
Meet monkey. Monkey is very curious about the brightly colored—and very tasty-looking—minutes on the minute tree in his forest. But can he catch one before it disappears?
Playful, educational, and entertaining, this brightly illustrated book reinforces simple counting skills while introducing children to basic concepts about time, how time passes, and how time is measured. With illustrations full of engaging animals and a call-and-response text, and loads of rhythm, repetition, and humor, this is a great choice for family and story-time sharing.
Includes three pages of facts reinforcing the math concepts and describing the rainforest friends introduced in the story.
My kids love the monkey illustration in the front cover. Also, the characters look like they’re from Roblox!
There’s a sneak peek of the story on the inner flap of the dust jacket.
The full colored illustrations easily captures kids’ attention. The art style is also pretty unique and my kids love it!
There are only a few lines on each page, giving kids more time to absorb the story and explore the illustrations. This book is a good way to introduce kids to time and how clocks work!
Nelly Takes New York by Allison Pataki and Marya Myers ($10.99)
The Big Apple may be hiding in the place you least expect it in this spunky introduction to the best parts of New York.
Nelly lives in New York, the greatest city in the world.
Every morning, she wakes up to the rumble of the subways and the honking of cars.
Every morning, she can smell the food cart downstairs and hear the rat-a-tat-tat of the street musicians outside.
Every morning, she goes outside to be in the city she knows like the back of her hand—or does she?One morning, Nelly and her dog Bagel decide to find out what New York is really about—or more specifically, why a city that has nothing to do with apples is the Biggest Apple of them all. Could there really be a giant apple somewhere in New York? And where is it hiding?
The cover features Nelly and her dog in New York! At the back, Nelly is looking over the city through a glass in what seems like a tall building!
The endpaper is an illustration of New York City! It’s so beautiful!
This book is about Nelly’s journey in finding where the Big Apple is in New York, as she always hears about it but doesn’t seem to know where it is. In this journey, she brings her dog with her and they go around the city hoping to find it!
This is such a light and fun read. The illustrations were colorful and realistic, and my kids liked Nelly’s determination!
This is another great box from Owl Post Books! My kids can’t get enough of the books, especially Nelly’s adventure in New York. They had fun reading aloud and exploring the city through the illustrations! The other books are also fun and age appropriate, and they make a nice addition to my kids’ home library. If you’re also planning to build a children’s book collection, this subscription is a good way to start. There are 3 books in every box and they are delivered straight to your door!
