MY REVIEW...
This is the first kids picture book I've reviewed.
I normally stick to my adult genres, but this books was so great that
I had to share with you guys!
We all know how important reading to your kids is, and if you're anything like me you're always
peddling books to your kidlets. Books foster their imaginations, fill up their word bank and improve their listening and comprehension skills.
So it's important to find books that you know will captivate them, and let's be honest, you as well since you're usually doing the reading.
The Wonderful Story of Electricity by A.J Neeson is one of those books!
I loved the originality, the rhythmic prose, and curious facts, which were as compelling for me as they were for my 8yr old! This is a whimsical little read that lends itself to some fun rhyming,
a clever way to ensure your child is learning lots without even realizing it!
From vikings and magnets to dead frogs and batteries, you'll be thoroughly entertained by the
fun narrative and quirky illustrations.
