Baby Faces

Baby Faces by Dawn Sirett                        Hardback Book: 14 pages          

What a cute book!   It is a definite fun read with a little.   Each page is a different expression made by an adorable baby and asks the reader or listener to make the face that the baby is making, happy face, sad face, etc.    The photos are too cute.     A fun read with little ones.     A pre-school teacher would do well with this one – the whole class could make each of the faces and all would be having a great time.   This would be a good choice for parents, too.      Or babysitters.    Everyone!   

The Nest

The Nest by Kenneth Oppel, 244 pages

Creepy, odd and wonderful book!  Steve has a new baby brother who is ill but no one seems to know exactly what’s wrong.  He needs surgery, but he likely will need a lot more than that and he may never be completely normal.  Steve has started having dreams in which he has been talking to some kind of being, but he’s not sure what it is.  She keeps telling him that she is going to fix the baby.  Steve is sure that it’s just a dream but it feels very real too.  At first, the dreams make him feel better but as more time passes, he becomes less sure about what she means about fixing the baby.  I would highly recommend this to upper grade school kids who like scary stories.
