Note: I’ve been immensely busy with preparing for my seminary courses I’m teaching overseas this month. I thank God for those of you who are praying for my preparation to go overseas to teach. Again thank you again very much. In the midst of studies and preparation I don’t want to neglect my preschool kids. Among other things I want to make the time to read to them. Which means more late nights study in order to make time for my young little ones. Also since I’ve been posting some heavy stuff concerning Bible contradictions, exegesis and Messianic prophecies last week I thought this post being more lighthearted is appropriate. I’m reviewing new Children’s books that has been published or will be published early 2018. They are not spiritual books, just simple kids stories.
Ellen Mayer. Banana for Two. Cambridge, MA: Star Bright Books, January 25, 2018. 20 pp.
5 out of 5
Purchase: Amazon
This is a board picture book that the publishers intended for ages 0-2. A little book to teach young ones about the number 1 and 2 from the everyday experience of being at the groceries. It follows a mom and a toddler shopping and going home with the purchased food. I love the illustrations of this book, the illustrator Ying-Hwa Hu has done a good job. My daughters appreciated it. Both the author Ellen Mayer and the illustrator have collaborated on other board books that feature everyday teachable experiences that feature characters of different ethnic background which I thought was pretty neat. This particular book features a Hispanic mother and her toddler; previous works have included an Asian American family and an African American family. Yet the experience in this book is relatable for everyone of any background.
