Tito, the little clown, would love to do that kind of magic. But when he tries with his own little brown hat, the magic doesn't work at all. Maybe it's because he's uncertain and shy.

    Book SynopsisMore than 3 million copies of Ricky sold worldwide! There are many different kinds of rabbits – fat rabbits and skinny rabbits, tall rabbits and short rabbits, smart rabbits and silly rabbits, clean rabbits and dirty rabbits, girl rabbits and boy rabbits – but they all have one thing in common: two long ears. Ricky also has two long ears, only… A touching story about learning that there is nothing wrong with being different; sometimes it’s a good thing. For ages 4 and up. Trade Review“This book had a good moral about accepting yourself as you are because we are all different. This book also had antonyms and synonyms in it. Ricky was bullied because his ears were different then the other rabbits. This book could be a good book to discourage bullying and allow students to see how it hurts others feelings!” – Kira Richardson “Ricky the rabbit was different from everyone else because one of his ears hang down while the other ear hangs up. He tried to be like everyone else by getting both of his ears to stand up. In the end he realized that nothing was wrong with his ear, and that it's okay to be different. I would read this book at the beginning of the school year to help students understand that it's okay to be themselves because that's what makes them unique.” – Linh Tong “I found this story very heart warming and a brilliant story to highlight the important lesson that it is okay to be different. What is also brilliant about this story is that it is written in dual languages; English and one of 15 other languages. An EAL child would be able to relate to being different from their classmates and would be able to empathize with the feeling of being different or excluded from their friends or in social situations. Introducing this story to an EAL child would be an excellent tool to engage the child in lessons across the curriculum that they struggle to access due to language barriers. It could also be used for a whole class activity in possibly in a PSHE lesson to understand that differences should be celebrated and people should not be excluded due to these differences. This book could be used with children from EYFS to KS1 as an important tool to help engage EAL children in lessons and for whole class PSHE discussions. ” - Chris

It is a mother or father that is giving kisses to the babies. It shows care and love. The illustrations are also very cute with baby animals." - Johnston County Schools You are so kissable, from head to toe! A sweet celebration of babies and kisses. For little ones of all ages. "A Kiss for You by Guido Van Genechten is a sweet book for young children. It features adorable illustrations of baby animals with simple language perfect for reading to a small child or baby. The book highlights different body parts through the loving text, which provides nice language exposure. I would recommend adding this book to your baby’s library!" - Plymouth Public SchoolsTrade Review"An ode to love and kisses for babies and toddlers, imported from Belgium and the Netherlands. Big-headed, diaper-clad fuzzy animals populate this board book. Each has characteristics that mirror the brief text. “A kiss for you on the top of your head…” is paired with an orange crawling cat-baby with three distinct stripes on its head. The “baby” on the next spread with a pig’s ears, hooves, and substantial snout is ready to be kissed “on the tip of your nose.” Subsequent pages follow the same pattern, with a rhino’s rosy cheeks, elephant’s ears, giraffe’s neck, mouse’s fingers and toes, lamb’s belly, and puppy’s sleepy eyes all awaiting kisses while engaged in typical baby behaviors. Their facial expressions are all anticipation. Finally a big-eyed, bald White baby smiles at the words, “I kiss you, I kiss you, I kiss you…because I love you so much.” Sharing this with a tot will almost inevitably end in giggles, cuddles, and kisses. (The book does not take into account those babies who may not welcome such physical intimacy.) The large trim size and uncluttered layout help even the youngest babies focus on what is inevitably coming—more kisses. The pale palette of peach, beige, light brown, and white with contrasting baby-blanket patterns matches the gently playful tone. A sweet reminder to cuddle and kiss throughout a baby’s day." - Kirkus Reviews "This is a short yet sweet book for babies or very small children. It is a mother or father that is giving kisses to the babies. It shows care and love.

    Book SynopsisThe sun has gone to sleep…It’s bedtime! Lift each flap and follow Little Mouse and his friends as they all get ready to go to sleep in their very own way. Do they count stars? Cuddle with their favorite toy? How fun! A soothing and uplifting picture book to create bedtime routines and snooze away! Trade Review"A mouse polls his friends about their bedtime routines. Little Mouse is introduced as inquisitive, and he certainly is. He has big questions, like how to get to the moon and back and how many stars are in the sky, but this energetic, repetitive bedtime tale focuses on more down-to-earth concerns: how Little Mouse’s pals get themselves to sleep. Dressed in pajamas covered in stars, Little Mouse appears quite matter-of-factly in his friends’ bedrooms in succession. Lift-the-flap elements reveal that Pigeon goes to bed with a huge collection of objects, including a tennis racket, a teddy bear, and a coloring book. Dog rolls around to his back, his stomach, and his side, which will encourage movement. Koala jumps on the bed to ward off ghosts, which might address bedtime fears—though this is a story about finding a bedtime routine rather than dealing with nervousness. Each spread has a similar layout and flow, making it perfect for young children who thrive on repetition. There’s a good mix of strategies shared and an ensemble moment before the cozy conclusion. The art is nothing special, but the chance to explore the different bed spaces through lift-the-flap magic will delight tots. A soothing, sweet, and eager little book." - Kirkus Reviews
