Delight in thirteen whimsical poems that capture the simple honesty of everyday childhood activities written from the perspective of three-to-six-year-olds.

​Crafted to make you laugh, smile, and build memories with your kids.

My Thoughts:

What a super cute rhyming book for children, parents, and even grandparents to read to their young ones. This book contains thirteen rhymes for children about how children think about their everyday tasks and lives. From their dressing, playing, eating, family time, to even good bathroom habits, the rhymes and the situations the children find themselves are cute and adorably common. It really showcases the simplicity and the innocence of a child and their childhood. Time flies by way too fast and even though my children are older, this rhyming storybook brought back many happy memories for me.

I think this would make for a great book to gift to a new mom or young mom to help her cherish these times with her children. The art is also whimsical and eye-catching making the poems all the more endearing. 

I enjoyed the author's bio and the obvious love he has for his family, especially his grandkids.

I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Meet the Author:

Bruce Shutts has spent countless hours reading children’s picture books to his three children and five grandchildren over the past forty years. He also loves to create humorous poems for nearly every occasion he can imagine. Coupled with the fact that he often thinks and acts like a three-to-six-year-old, it makes his entrance into the world of children’s books a natural fit. He currently is retired with his wife of forty-five years and loves to travel, play golf, and (you guessed it) read books at night to his grandkids!
