I am NOT Sleepy and I WILL NOT go to BED

 

I have this little sister Lola.

She is small and very funny.
Sometimes I have to keep an eye on her.
Sometimes Mum and Dad ask me to try and get her off to bed.
This is a hard job because Lola likes to stay up late ... 

Usually, when I say, "Lola, Mum says it is time for bed,"
"No! I am NOT sleepy and I WILL NOT go to bed."
I say, "But all the birds have gone to sleep."
She says, "But I am not a bird, Charlie."

Amaris has started her first grade in September. 
Her school has a very good reading program that encourages every child to read and enjoy reading as a lifelong companion. 

Every morning, the children either bring their favorite book from home or pick one from the classroom reading corner to enjoy morning reading before school starts.

Children enjoy going to the learning center located on the 3rd floor with a comprehensive collection of children's books, close to 20,000.

Yesterday, Amaris brought home with two books, one was The Lion King and the another one was I am NOT sleepy and I WILL NOT go to bed, again from the Charlie and Lola's series. 
The title echoes Amaris' mind and soul.

In my last blog, I will NEVER NOT EVER eat a Tomato, big brother Charlie faces an epic struggle with her little sister, Lola in a dinnertime battle. 
In this equally spirit, Charlie takes the hardest job to try to get Lola to bed. 
This is a hard job because Lola likes to stay up coloring, scribbling, sticking, wriggling, bouncing and most of all chattering!


Read it with your toddlers to laugh out loud or children like Amaris enjoys reading it by herself as an echo of mind.

I Will Never NOT EVER Eat a Tomato

 

 

I have this little sister Lola.

She is small and very funny.

Sometimes, I have to keep an eye on her ...

Sometimes, Mom and Dad ask me to give Lola her dinner.
This is difficult because she is a very fussy eater.

Lola won't eat carrot of course.

She says, "carrots are for rabbits."

I say, "What about peas?"

Lola says, "Peas are too small and too green."

Lola is a fussy eater. 
A very fussy eater who will never ever eat carrots, peas, cauliflowers ... just like my six years old at home, I can name them ALL.

The only difference here is Lola has a very creative brother, Charlie who is playing this imagination game with her in this dinnertime battle.

Charlie turns carrots into orange twiglets from Jupiter, mashed potatoes into cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji, tomatoes into moonsquirters AND green peas into green drops from Greenland. 

These two endearing siblings with boundless imagination turns the dinnertime battle into a Fantasyland.

And I ABSOLUTELY will never NOT EVER eat a TOMATO ...

I Completely Know About Guinea Pigs

I have this little sister Lola.

She is small and very funny.

At the moment Lola is ...

"What ARE you doing at the moment, Lola?"

"I am being a guinea pig," says Lola

I say, "Why?"

"Because I really like guinea pigs. And maybe, if Mrs Hanson lets me, I can bring Bert, our class guinea pig, home for the school holidays."

Me and my girl love Charlie and Lola. It always allows room for imagination and craziness.

This time Lola starts her adventure in a classroom setting with a class pet named Bert. 
A guinea pig from Peruuuuu!!!!

Every kid in the class wants to take Bert home for the school holidays, of course including our little Lola praying hard to get picked.

I Completely Know About Guinea Pigs filled with colorful illustration and real pictures on Guinea Pig 101, great education for kids whom love pet.

This is a great book with fun and wild imagination for children between K1 to Grade 2.

Imagination is the greatest gift God have given human. It needs training and the basic one is listening to storytelling. It forms a cycle of image formation hidden in our mind without anyone's knowledge. 

Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

I Completely Know About Guinea Pigs is available online at The Book Depository

Boo! Made You Jump!

I have this little sister, Lola. 
She is small and very funny.

I am always making her jump ...

But she can NEVER make me jump. 

So Lola says, "But I really want to make you jump, Charlie."

And I say, "Okay, Lola, but that will NEVER happen."

Charlie and Lola are characters created by Laura Child.

Lola is an energetic, imaginative little girl; Charlie is a patient and kind older brother who is always willing to help Lola learn and grow.

In this book, Boo! Made you jump!, Lola tries everything she could think of , including dressing up like a creepy ghost, telling a really scary story in order to make Charlie jump. But it doesn't seem to be working. Will Lola ever make Charlie jump?

This is a fun book for my five years old to read by her own. And the Charlie and Lola series is just fun to read and very educational on social skills building, especially for those who have siblings.
