Six dots......

 Children's Illustrated books have a special place in my heart. They often inspire children to read...more....or to learn more about a topic. They are a great way to begin a lesson, motivate learners, open minds....

Six Dots, by Jen Bryant & Illustrated by Boris Kulikov is one of those books. A beautifully well explained true story about Louis Braille. A great addition to books about little known inventors...who changed the world.

Well worth adding to your shelf, even if it's the only Children's book there!

Happy Reading!

Symptoms of Being Human

This book came highly recommended by a former student. I am so glad I finally read it. This is an absolutely beautiful book. Broke my heart, made me laugh and taught me a few things along the way. I cannot recommend it enough! Wish I had a hard copy to keep on my book shelf. 

The audiobook was well done too!

Jeff Garvin is a fascinating person. This video gives a glimpse into who he is. Watch the video.

Audible....the audiobook of the 21st Century

I have always been a fan of audiobooks. They offer an opportunity to have a completely different experience with books. With the talents of voice actors, characters come to life all around you. 

So far, I've listened to two YA books:

  

Currently, I am listening to: 

The beauty about Audible, aside from having books available on my phone ANYTIME, is that you also receive one free book per month. Nice!

Happy Reading!

The Wild Robot Escapes

Sequel to The Wild Robot. Unfortunately, The Wild Robot Escapes  is not as impactful as it's predecessor. It is an interesting continuation of the story, demonstrating what life is like in society with robots all around. 

On to the next one....

Happy Reading!
