reading themes:  camping and farm.  What better way to enjoy and spend a summer day than to go visit a farm or go on a camping adventure.  Those are just the adventures your child will go on with Ellie the Elephant when
you read these two amazing adventure books.  Ellie books are so awesome.  I've added them to my classroom library and the students love to pick them up and look at them and make connections with the book.

Grandpa Hugs by Laura Neutzling

https://www.thomasnelson.com/grandpa-hugs

Book Description

Grandmas are for kisses, and grandpas are for great big hugs! Grandpas are fun! They go on adventures, tell silly jokes, say funny things, and love to eat treats. This adorable board book celebrates how wonderful spending time with Grandpa can be!

Little ones and grandpas alike will love Grandpa Hugs, the charming, rhyming storybook about how special a grandpa can be to a child. This companion to the acclaimed Grandma Kisses celebrates grandfathers and all the love and fun they bring to the special grandkids in their lives.

Whether it is a gift from a grandfather to his grandchild, a grandchild to her grandpa, or as a sweet, creative birth announcement for a first-time grandpa, Grandpa Hugs is bound to warm the hearts of everyone who reads it.
Sweet, adorable, charming are just a few words that describe this book telling of a Grandpa and grandchild relationship. It describes some of the fun and memorable things that they find to do together.  The soft pastel colors in the illustrations match the tone of love that is shared in the grand bond.  The cover is cushioned hardback  and the pages are durable cardboard to withstand the reading and rereading of this wonder treasure that I'm sure any child is going to want to put the book through.  This book will be added to the church nursery library.

Title: Catalina and the King's Wall |  Author: : Patty Costello | Illustrtator: Diane Cojocaru Publisher: Eifrig Publishing | Publication Date: May 5, 2018 Genre: Children's Book | Number of Pages: 32

Description: One day Catalina overhears the king planning to build a wall and fears her family will never be able to visit. Catalina tricks the king into building walls that droop, drip, swirl, and swoosh away. But now the king demands a wall that will outlast even a Twinkie. Luckily, Catalina has the perfect ingredients to bake up a family reunion!

This was a cute book.  If your kids love jokes then they'll love the trickery Catalina uses to build the wall and keep a way for her family to come and visit her.  I used this book with our school's reading joke day.  It was very well loved.
