I Can Read Books (2)

Another set of fun Junior Reader Books 

Parker loves the roses in her Nana's garden. Maybe she should grow them too?

Gardening is hard work - you have to be patient, but it can be very rewarding too. A great story about hard work, rewards, and the seasons.

The bunnies have a very busy day at the bookstore. They help everyone - and everyone has different reading tastes. This funny story is great for sharing and asking what books everyone likes to read best. 

This is a cute story - all about books. Great for readers who love the Stanley Books. 

Teddy and Otter want jobs - but it's hard finding the perfect job. Luckily, they have someone to offer up some suggestions.

Another adorable book about these two best friends. 

JR Books: Parker Books

 

I love the Parker picture books. I was really happy to see Parker JR (junior reader) books.

Parker Dresses Up: What happens when your siblings and their imagination hijack dress-up. It becomes even better!

Your Friend, Parker: Parker and her family go on vacation. She sends letters back to her friend to keep her updated about all their adventures. 

These books are lots of fun - about friendship, family, imagination, and sharing. 

I do hope there are more Parker books in the works!

Library Recommendation: Highly Recommended for your school and public libraries.

Picture Book Review: Parker Looks Up

Parker, her sister, and her best friend are visiting the National Portrait Gallery. Together they respond to the paintings and how they make them feel. At the end of the day, Parker looks up and spies the portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. And she's stunned!

I loved this picture book and the true story behind it. I loved the wonder of the girls looking at the paintings - especially the moment in the front of the ballerinas. I love that Parker saw Michelle Obama as a Queen and that she saw all the possibilities for herself in that moment. I love the hopes and dreams this painting inspires. A fantastic children's picture book with great art and a great message.
