Rockin' Reads

The Storybook Mom's Reading Corner

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
We'd like to introduce you to Nili Yelin, the Storybook Mom, who hosts our weekly book readings at our brick and mortar store (and also hosts quite the intellectual birthday party, FYI!). Nili's performance art background and Mommy cred (she's got two little talented cuties!) make her the Reading Diva! Parents and children hang on her every word at the readings, because she infuses the children's books of her choice with animated gestures, different voices, and witty stage whispers for the adults. The following are the Storybook Mom's Rockin' Reads for Valentine's Day, and we are thrilled that we will have a new infusion of titles to tell you about every month!


Valentine's Day Rockin' Reads

My Monster Mama Loves Me So By Laura Leuck
BRIEF DESCRIPTION You will love My Monster Mama because it is a fun bedtime story, narrated by a young monster giving his Mom some props for all she does for him during the day. You'll see their daily activities, that are monster-y versions of your own, our favorite being the part where Mom teaches the young monster to become invisible when the scary things (humans) come out because it promotes understanding about differences, similarities and point of view. The rhyming couplets are a soothing read, the acrylic and oil painted illustrations are dynamic and cheery and the end has the little monster sure of his Mama's love for him, and the reader's Mama's love for them. A perfect Valentine's Day read for Mommy's Little Monster!!! We recommend this book for ages 3 and up.

Fancy Nancy By Jane O'Connor
BRIEF DESCRIPTION Fancy Nancy is a girl who loves her sparkles, trims, accessories and fancy ways of saying everyday things. She despairs over her family, who doesn't have the za za zoom, that in her opinion means you are leading the fabulous life. Nancy is thrilled when her family enlists her help to fancify themselves, and the end result is that Nancy finds out there is not a fancier way in the world (even in French!)to tell your family you love them. Our Psycho Moms and Dads tell us all the time how much their little ones love this book, and we love the joy of Nancy's wonderful message of love being spread to the kids. A fun,glittery heartfelt treat for all! We recommend this book for ages 3 and up.
