Roots & Wings: Reading with Children #4

We can start the New Year by going back to a library of classics that still hold up from a tiny library authored by Maurice Sendak called the Nutshell Library.

These perennial favorites include Alligators All AroundChicken Soup with RiceOne Was Johnny, and Pierre. This pint-sized library is perfect for small hands. It’s a wonderful gift for a new year, new parents, or a new friendship.

Learn the alphabet with silly alligators, drink chicken soup with rice every month, count visitors with a boy named Johnny, and survive a scare with Pierre, a boy who doesn’t care, then does. Endless adventures await in these lyrical stories that children, and their grown-up readers, will love reading and sharing over and over again for years to come! Enjoy!!
