The Monster Who Ate Darkness

Jo-Jo couldn't sleep.

He didn't like the darkness under the bed. He thought a monster might be hiding there ... 

well ... this time ... there WAS!

A tiny speck of a monster, so small he could hardly be seen.

But he had a big empty feeling inside him that made him hungry, very HUNGRY!

The Monster Who Ate Darkness is Amaris' favorite book this week. 

She cannot put it down ever since she picked up from the library. She laughed every time she's reading it and we sat down and read it together tonight.

It is about a tiny monster, so small you can hardly see. He keeps going around the darkest corner at the house, under the bed, in the cupboard, at the attics to eat up all the darkness like his food.

After eating up the darkness in the house, he slips out to find rabbit holes, bat caves, dark forest ... until he eats all the way up to the moon. 

He eats ALL THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT! 

So the moon no longer shines in the sky and the stars no longer twinkle ...

After reading this book with my five years old, I wonder why she finds this story so funny. The answer probably is children see the world differently. They use imagination and they love crazy things like this little black monster who likes to put darkness as spreads on burnt toast!

Recommend this book for children between K2 to Grade 2 who love crazy things.

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 Wish That I Had Duck Feet

I wish I had a long, long tail.

Some day I will, I hope.

And I'll show the kids in town new ways to jump a rope!

Another silly title from Dr. Seuss with lots of imagination for kids.

I Wish That I Had Duck Feet follows one little guy's dreams of borrowing all sorts of useful appendages from the animal world. But each time he imagines something new--those duck feet, a prickly pair of deer horns perfect for playing football, a spraying whale spout to keep his classroom cool--he realizes that it's not always all it's cracked up to be.

This is a great classic from Dr. Seuss for everyone starting the age of 3. Children will love this story and start to read by their own later on.
