The Emperor's Cool Clothes by Lee Harper

The emperor's new clothes with a new, cooler twist.  In this book the emperor is out to be cool and stylish.  He once again is tricked by some good-for-nothing-scoundrels.  They succeed in getting money and giving the emperor NOTHING in return.  The wait is on to see which character will speak up and reveal that in fact the emperor is naked.  A fun twist to an old story.  Kids will find this book cool......

10 Little Penguins by Kate Toms

Adam and I came across this cute book this am at 1/2 Price Books. I love the illustrations - so cute! When I find a book about counting that I can use at home and potentially at school, I like to grab it!....did not hurt that their prices are reasonable! The book starts with 10 penguins and on each page, one goes off for one reason or another.
"7 busy penguins each bake a tasty cake...1 penguin eats too fast and now has a tummy ache!"
The cupcakes are adorable and kids could try to make their own cupcake using lots of different "scrap" materials around the house.
Kids will love the silly penguins.
