Little Kids, Big Emotions: Mad
We’re moving through emotions and I don’t want you to miss the emotions we’ve already covered – happiness and sadness. Today, I’m sharing books about being mad or angry, a feeling that kids can definitely relate to! I think this is such an important emotion for kids to understand. What…

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Candles
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme was officially “Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make”, but rather than share ten ideas of candles I’d make, I thought it’d be cool to share some of the amazing bookish candles that already exist in the world (and would make great presents for your own book lover!)…

Little Kids, Big Emotions: Sadness
Last week we started this series with happiness and I figured that it kind of made sense to do sadness next. What I really like about these books is that while some of them teach kids about how to help a friend who is sad, many others allow the reader…

Top Ten Tuesday: The Big, Bad Wolf
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is all about villains. While I could have gone for epic villains in children’s literature like The Trunchbull in Matilda or Severine from The Jumbies. I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction and share the fractured fairy tales of the…

Top Ten Tuesday: How I Spend My Time When I’m Not Blogging
While I spend a good deal of time on my blog, it’s only a small part of who I am. So for today’s “Non-bookish freebie” I decided to share a little bit about who I am outside of this blog! How else do you spend your time? How I Spend…

Nonfiction Poetry for Kids
Nonfiction and poetry probably aren’t the two words that you would put together for a book list, but you might be surprised by the number of nonfiction poetry collections that exist! And honestly, it’s a really fun way to share facts in a format that is both surprising and accessible…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with a High Page Count
This theme could also be labeled, “Books that would make great doorstops” because these titles are quite hefty! Almost all of the books I’ve selected are over 1,000 pages and are chunky. And I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve only actually read one of the books on this list…
