Shark vs. Train

I got this clever picture book from the library and the book was totally hashed; ripped pages all over the place, but it was still a fun read.

Description (from Goodreads): If you think Superman vs. Batman would be an exciting matchup, wait until you see Shark vs. Train. In this hilarious and wacky picture book, Shark and Train egg each other on for one competition after another, including burping, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, pie eating, and many more! Who do YOU think will win, Shark or Train?

Review: This book is just so clever. Each page has Shark and Train competing in a different and silly competition. It is entertaining for me to read, but Nicole and Dan love it too. Nicole loves that Shark, Train, and Caboose each have speech bubbles on each page. She loves when I do a Shark and Train voice. I think that she is more entertained with Shark and Train's comments then she is with the clever competitions themselves. Dan loves it because he can knows the sound effects for the both the Shark (Rar!) and Train (Choo Choo). He just loves to make the noises for each. 

So, I recommend this book for boys, girls, and parents. It is clever all around. 

LMNO Peas: Book Review

LMNO Peas by Keith Baker

Description: This picture book follows these Alphabet Peas that do all sorts of things. It is an alphabet book depicting the peas in occupations for each letter of the alphabet.

Review: This book is so cute! I love seeing the little peas doing all sorts of occupations and activities. My one year old boy loves this book too. When he sees it, he brings it to me and attempts to sing the ABCs. But since he can't actually make all the sounds to say the letters, it is more like the ABCs comprised completely of vowel sounds. My three year old loves this book to. She loves to repeat every page after I read it.

Rating: Recommend! I'm not going to give star ratings to children's books because the way I figure it, I either recommend a children's book or I don't. So this is one I recommend to read to young children... 5 and under.
