Christmas Book Review - Maybe . . .

If you have been reading grandma's cookie jar for long, you know I love books for children! Reading books to children from their youngest ages increases their vocabulary, helps them learn to talk sooner, helps them learn to read sooner, and gives them a solid start for doing better at school. Plus it is fun to read to children! Especially when they are little and snuggle in your lab so you are able to read to them - makes fantastic memories! So, since I received a wonderful box of books yesterday from Candlewick Press, I am very happy to share these books with you, The first is a very fun and relatable story about little monkeys and tigers . . . Maybe . . . by Chris Haughton.

Favorite Features -

• Adorable - absolutely adorable story!
• I love how the little monkeys decide to do the opposite of what their mom told them, and end up learning it is better to obey . . . maybe . . .
• Illustrations are colorful, exciting, and fun - children will love them.
• Sturdy board book so little ones will be able to "read" it and enjoy the story.
• Provides a wonderful opportunity to talk with the children you love about obeying - even if there are mangos to be had!

Candlewick Press says - "Three little monkeys and their big monkey mom are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. 'OK, monkeys! I’m off,' says the big monkey mom. 'Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.' Mmm . . . mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . Maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton, creator of Don’t Worry, Little Crab, crafts a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries—and indulging your impish side (when nobody is looking)."

If you are looking for a book to give a little someone you love this Christmas, definitely consider Maybe . . . - or give it as a baby shower gift to someone you know or just to get and enjoy together anytime, because if you have Maybe . . . you will absolutely enjoy it every time you read it together!
