Next week I’ll be joining Just kids lit on a blog tour of @melissagijsbers new book Lizzie’s dragon. I’ll be reviewing this book next Friday but check out these other great blogs! Subscribe at www.justkidslit.com/books-on-tour #BooksOnTour #LizzysDragon #BlogTour #fantasy #adventure #juniorreaders #crafts #giveaways #bookstagram #read #reading #children #dragons #hope #drought #australia #farming #community This month, The Australian Children's Laureate, Leigh Hobbs has suggested that we focus on drawing a story. The idea behind drawing a story is to show how much the illustrations can change how we see the story. The illustrations can give us the viewpoint of someone or something in the story or just allow us to be observers. Illustrations can help us to feel stronger emotions or to understand what the author really means. Illustrations play a vital role in picture books and allow us to stop and think about what we have just read, search the page for more meaning and look at how different illustrators portray ideas. There are more great graphic novels coming out - picture book and comic style. And these types of books are a great place to start looking at how illustrations can tell a story all on thier own. There are some wonderful ideas on the website and also an event but how can you use these ideas if you don't have access to the books at home or at your school? Check out my blog! #bookstagram #drawing #illustration #leighhobbs #childrenslaureate #australia #graphicnovel #draw #literacy #librariansofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #imagination #reading #books4sustainability #parenting #wordpress #ruben #illegal #rivertime Happiness is mango season #happiness #dinnertime #mangoes #mango #mangomadness #silence #children #parenting I have a great little team of library helpers who help make a new display or two every week. This week they have chosen picture books about animals! And managed to integrate the random pink feather boa we have in the library!! # #bookstagram #picturebooks #library #librariansofinstagram #librarydisplay #librarian #books #children #teachersofinstagram #teaching #education #australia Which animal lives in it's father's mouth as an egg? How big are earthworm eggs? And which creatures need to fend for themselves as soon as they are born? Babies of any kind are amazing yet many of us know little about animal babies - unless we see them on the news as part of a zoo breeding program. Amazing animal babies by Chris Packham and Jason Cockcroft is a wonderful book that teaches the reader about how different babies are grown in the womb or egg, how they develop and the amazing things they can do from a young age. Each page is accompanied by Jason Cockcroft's vibrant illustrations that depict how the animal lives and moves in its habitat. The pictures bring the facts to life and help the young reader to absorb the facts that they hear or read throughout the book. A great aspect of this book is towards the end where readers can discover more through some extra facts. I love when books provide this extra information as it really empowers children to go on and explore more about the particular animal they are interested in. #amazinganimalbabies #chrispackham #jasoncockcroft #amazing #animals #animalconservation #sustainability #babies #bookstagram #books4sustainability #books #read #reading #parenting #teachersofinstagram #librariansofinstagram Nothing like sleeping on a fresh delivery of @whogivesacraptp #bamboo #bambootoiletpaper #whogivesacraptp #toilets #teddybears #toilet #toiletpaper #sustainability #wastefree #waronwaste #ecofriendly #humanrights #parenting #blogger
