I want to tell you about a children's book called The Best Part of Daddy's Day by Claire Alexander today.

Little Bertie wishes he could go to work with his Daddy, but he has to go to school instead.  Bertie wants to be just like his Dad, and when he is on the playground, he thinks he sees his Dad up in the crane.  After school Bertie shares about his day.  Not all of it was good.  Daddy tells him about his day, including the things that went wrong for him.  They both agree their favorite part of the day is when they are together.

This would be a sweet book for your child to read with his/her Daddy and would be good for Father's Day.  I know youngsters will enjoy these pictures of the dogs and machinery at Daddy's workplace in this sweet book.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, Little Bee Books, in exchange for my honest review. Thank you!

Have a day of blessings!
 

Construction Kitties

Little kitties are up early and ready to head to a day at the construction site.  They use an excavator, dump truck, and back hoe and work hard all day. 

With short sentences and bright illustrations, this is a fun book to read to your own little one who is a fan of construction sites.  Toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy this book. 

Construction Zone

TITLE:  Construction Zone

Visit a construction site through the pages of this book.  You will see the entire process involved in construction from the drawings done by an architect to the frame going up to the completed building.

The photos in this book are truly amazing.  Another thing I like is the vocabulary words in bold in the text with a definition in smaller print at the bottom of the page.

I recommend this book for elementary aged children.  It would be appropriate to use in a classroom setting during a lesson on community workers or even as an example of a  well-done "how to."

Building with Dad

Building With Dad is a rhyming book about a Dad who takes his son along with him as he constructs a new school. The illustrations jump off the page and make the reader feel like he is present at the construction site. Children ages preschool through second grade will enjoy this book.

My son and I both loved this book. I totally loved the illustrations.
