Snow and Rose: An Enchanting Fairy Tale Retelling

Snow and Rose: An Enchanting Fairy Tale Retelling

by Carolyn | Adventure, Classics, Fantasy, Girls, Imagination, Read Alouds

I was enchanted by this lovely fairy tale. Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin is a retelling of the story of Snow White and Rose Red. (Which, apparently, isn’t at all the same story as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves). The Story Snow and Rose grow up in a...

Picture Books About Dogs

by Carolyn | Animal books, Book Lists, Picture Books, Preschool, Read Alouds

It’s been a little over a year since we got our dog, Nugget. (Yes, we got his name from The Wingfeather Saga). So, I thought it only fitting to give you a list of some of our favorite picture books about dogs. (Not to mention that it’s the Year of the...

The Wilderking Trilogy: A Fresh Take on the Life of David

by Carolyn | Adventure, Bible, Boys, Character Training, Fantasy, Imagination, Juvenile Fiction, Middle-grade, Read Alouds, Recommendations

The Wilderking Trilogy by Jonathan Rogers is a delightful middle-grade fantasy series. It’s based loosely on the life of King David from his shepherd days to his coronation. I had previously read the first book, The Bark of the Bog Owl, and recommended it on the...

After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again

by Carolyn | Character Training, Imagination, Picture Books, Preschool, Read Alouds, Recommendations

After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again… We all know the nursery rhyme: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couln’t put Humpty together again. But what if...

Cilla Lee-Jenkins Future Author Extraordinaire 

by Carolyn | Autobiography, Chapter Books, Cultural Diversity, Girls, Imagination, Juvenile Fiction, Older Elementary, Read Alouds

Let me introduce you to a modern-day Ramona. I have totally fallen for the quirky, honest, ambitious Cilla Lee-Jenkins: Future Author Extraordinaire by Susan Tan. The Story Cilla Lee-Jenkins is certain that she is destined for literary greatness. What she’s not...
A Must-Have Picture Book about Homeschooling

A Must-Have Picture Book about Homeschooling

by Carolyn | Education, Older Elementary, Picture Books, Preschool, Read Alouds

I remember the day my daughter realized homeschooling meant she would never ride the big yellow bus. It wasn’t that she saw other kids on our street joyfully piling in. Most of our neighbors were in their eighties. We had the only school-aged kids on the block....
Hilarious Picture Books with Dragons

Hilarious Picture Books with Dragons

by Carolyn | Animal books, Book Lists, Fantasy, For fun, Imagination, Picture Books, Poetry, Read Alouds, Recommendations

I don’t know how it started, but there has been a surplus of funny picture books with dragons published in the last few years. And when I say funny, I mean hilarious. I literally can’t read some of these without laughing out loud. If you have a child who...
Henry and the Chalk Dragon: For the Artist Within Us All

Henry and the Chalk Dragon: For the Artist Within Us All

by Carolyn | Adventure, Boys, Chapter Books, Fantasy, Imagination, Juvenile Fiction, Middle-grade, Older Elementary, Read Alouds

One of the first things that struck me when I began reading Henry and the Chalk Dragon is that Jennifer Trafton’s prose sings. This book will make a great read-aloud. The second thing that struck me is that his book is hilarious. It reminded me of the Scholastic...

by Carolyn | Book Lists, Classics, Cultural Diversity, Nature, Older Elementary, Picture Books, Read Alouds

Snow can be magical for children, which explains why there are so many picture books about snow! I must have checked out over thirty books to find our very favorites to share with you. Maybe you’re knee-deep in snow. Or maybe–like us–the only snow...

One of the books we read today was 
📖 Library’s Most Wanted
✏️ Carolyn Leiloglou
🎨 Sarah Pogue

In this sweet picture book, Libby is helping her Aunt as the deputy librarian. Libby is very serious about her job making sure she protects the books, but she soon realizes that maybe a librarian’s job is about more then just protecting the books.

My kids loved it and asked for it to be read again. Always the sign of a great read!

We are so thankful to Carolyn Leiloglou for this awesome picture book! Go give her a follow! @housefullofbookworms
