The Megasaurus by Thomas Weck and Peter Weck #WIN
Saturday, October 29, 2011
We love to read in our house! I encourage my boys to read books all the time. Even little Jace gets in on the action and I see him holding his board books and talking to the pictures.
I gave The Megasaurus by Thomas Weck and Peter Weck to Xander to read earlier this evening because he was bored and we were having an 'unplugged night'. I told him go read this then come tell me what you think. He came back and said, "Mom that was a good book." He proceeded to retell me the entire story laughing at the way the Beans solved the problem. It was my turn to read it and he crawled up next to me and Jace to listen as I read it out loud. I loved the repetition as the owls spoke and L. Joe Bean speaking out. The book was well written and a really cute story about problem solving. I was impressed that at the end of the book there was an extended learning section with discussion ideas and activities. This was nice because it helps parents to ask questions or do craft/activities to bring the book to life. I used to do day care when I was in high school and this is exactly what we did with the stories we read. It was a lot more fun and helped the learning sink in.
The Megasaurus is ideal for ages 4-8 and retails for $15.95. You can purchase The Megasaurus at your local bookstores or online at Amazon.com. When considering your holiday gift giving think about giving a book, The Megasaurus would be a great choice!
WIN,WIN,WIN
One lucky reader will win their own copy of The Megasaurus by Thomas Weck and Peter Weck!
