Higher, Higher

by Monkey Moon PhotographyHigher, Higher mommy....I want to touch the sky. I hear these words echoed as my two daughters take turns reaching their dreams as they fly through the sky on their swing; dreaming of, well anything!

I was first introduced to the author Leslie Patricelli when a family member gave us Yummy Yucky!

This book quickly became one of our family favorites. The images are so funny and I still use the visual image given to my girls by author Leslie, describing what happens when we have too much of a good thing.  "Ice cream is yummy,Too much ice cream is yucky."  These have been the magic words spoken in our home when the girls ask for more sweets! I simply look at them and say "Ice cream is yummy BUT.....they tilt their heads, and say, “too much ice cream is yucky." Works like a charm...no arguing. I love Leslie Patricelli!

 

Ok now on to Leslie’s new books. When Team Mom asked us to review Leslie’s two new favorites, I was thrilled! We received them in the mail and honestly the girls ask for them every night for their bed time story. Higher, Higher is about a little girl who lets her imagination take her to higher places as her Daddy pushes her in the swing. She meets a martin, says hi to the clouds above the high rise building....saying Higher, Higher.

Today when we went for a swing; my daughter could not wait to use HER imagination to bring herself to higher places. She giggled, said "Higher, Higher” and imagined herself saying hi to the clouds, birds and even a martin….”just like the book momma!”

Baby Happy, Baby Sad is an adorable board book by author Leslie Patricelli. On each page, it simply shows a picture of either a baby who is happy or sad with a comical image adding to the description of Happy or Sad baby. Again, a very unique, witty and educational approach explaining to children the many ways baby can be happy or sad throughout her day. I find my six year old reading to her dolls and describing why baby is happy or sad. So darn cute!!

 

 

"Whether it’s the witty picture book about a child’s adventure on a swing or the tale of a baby and an ice-cream cone, it’s no wonder Leslie has received glowing reviews from magazines such as Scholastic Parent and Child and School Library Journal."

Love, To the moon and back
