Hi again!
This week is National Book Award Week which focuses on "...future authors, books, and literature in general". It's a time when awards are handed out, the current landscape of the reading world is gazed upon, and what the coming years hold is pondered. This week, I want to focus on not award winners, though bookmarks up to them, but on books in general...the joy they bring, the adventures they hold, and the moments they create.
Big Shark, Little Shark and the Christmas Tree

Okay, I gotta say, I'm really feeling a FIN-ship with Little Shark and Big Shark. I mean, hello...they LOVE TO READ! Friends from the word go! Anywho, they start out enjoying a day of reading until a mysterious shadow lands something in their midst. But wait, is that...a Christmas tree? Seems to be, but things aren't exactly as they should be, bringing fishy frowns instead of smiles. Good thing our sharky duo has a plan to make it merry and bright once again...and the end result is SEA-tacular!
The coral-filled and colorful illustrations are brilliantly done to entice little readers' eyes. The easy read story style makes it less intimidating and therefore the perfect holiday pick for early readers just getting their feet wet...so to speak. It allows kiddos to take center stage during story time not only to share their skills, but a tale of Christmas time fun to be enjoyed by all!
