Elementary school kids know the Pout-Pout Fish. Elementary school kids are also introduced to bullies at this age.

The Pout-Pout Fish and the Bully-Bully Shark tackles bullying in this timely book that’s appropriate for National Bullying Prevention Month and beyond.
One thing about being a parent and children is that everything old is new again. New things released today, when you don’t have children, have the potential to become classics by the time you have children. That’s the case with Santa Calls by William Joyce. It was initially released in 1993 and hasn’t aged a day in its 24 years.
It’s sometimes difficult to jump into an existing book series. You feel like you’re late to the party, wish that you would’ve discovered it first or are hesitant because you don’t know the characters. Red’s Planet, Friends and Foes is the second book in Eddie Pittman’s series and our first introduction to the characters and I’m eating crow. Hello metaphorical crow, I eat you, not because I said that Red’s Planet wasn’t a good book, rather, I simply thought that based on its cover.
Some books arrive at the office and immediately draw me in. It doesn’t happen often, especially with authors or artists that I’m not already a fan of. Maybe three times a year do I receive an unknown book that so completely floors me that I’ll talk about the book to other adults? Pocket Full of Colorsby Amy Guglielmo & Jacqueline Tourville with illustrations by Brigette Barrager is that book for us now.

“It’s a rhyming book”, one of the clever children in class commented as I was reading Monster Trucks to them. The book does rhyme and it’s a monster book that’s being released near Halloween, but the book can’t be defined one that’s exclusive to either camp. Instead, Monster Trucks is a book that contains many aspects of other books that children love and puts them into one happy package that ages 8 and younger will enjoy.
Patience and independence. We tell our 7 year old multiple times a day that he needs to be more patient. Sometimes on his math quizzes at school he’ll simply not do problems that I know he can do. It’s because he’s in too big of a hurry. Patience, everything requires practice and some things require more practice, all the while allowing for individuality. Hair-Pocalypse is a pre-K through early elementary school book that’s about a grubby young boy whose hair has a life of its own.
