The unicorn in Glitter Rhinos



One day, while picking up my daughter from camp, I found glitter leading my way. My first thought went to the Little Red Riding Hood story.  Little Red Riding Hood could have used glitter too to mark her way out of safety.



Like this Gloria the rhino who loves glitter, Little Red Riding Hood could have glitter on her cape.



The glittery rhino itself is being referred to as chubby unicorn.

University of Unicota scientist says It all makes so much sense now – the horn, the rainbows, the glitter and a fondness for all things pink. I just can’t believe we didn’t make this connection sooner. We have to do everything we can to save these incredible creatures and keep the unicorn in them alive.

PS: That glitter was on the route to youth talent competition room.

If you give a customer a smart wallet



he will want it to charge your phone.

I remember once a colleague was walking with us after the meeting and had to go back again because his watch told him that the phone wasnt close by. Something like that is what this smart wallet does too. It is 2 way too. If you lose your wallet, you can track it with your phone. There's another model which is a coin wallet. You can secure your coins in the wallet with a snap button. I thouhgt it might have some counter which would have made this person's job easier. He had to accept payment for traffic ticket in pennies.

,Location Record,Voice Record,Smart Led Light are other cool functions.
Many customers had some issues with it but hopefully an updated version takes  care of all these problems.

Papa Gave Me a Stick by Janice Levy



Papa Gave Me a Stick by Janice Levy


I havent heard of the Japanese story 'Straw Millionaire' until I read about this book. Antonio wants a guitarro but all he gets is a stick from his Papa which is what he got from his Papa before he got his guitarro.
Involving a perro (dog), pajaro (bird), burro (donkey), gato (cat), a groom, a wedding and a mariachi band, can Antonio fulfill his dreams of a guitarro for himself?
With an undercurrent of how is something going to be helpful in getting a guitar, Antonio finds himself helping others get warmth, satisfy hunger, reduce pain, save from drowning and so on. Such a lovely kid like the sweet brother in 'How much for the Doggie in the window' (soaking in the rain at his lemonade stand) has an incredible journey trading up.
The illustrations are soft and the texture, holds you to each section of it, inviting you to explore.
We had a blast with this book., we traced the story back. we enacted the story. Yes, the playroom with infinite toys will have similar props to what you need for the story. I got so inspired that we did this story for my daughter's friend's birthday and started it off with a customised mariachi happy birthday song online. Even bought it as a gift for couple of friends.

We even bought a small zarape from the Arizona- Sonoran Desert Museum to enact the story.





Where they learn to be the scariest



Ghoul school had me right from the ebginning where Bea A. Fraid says that she learns how to scare others at her all-ghoul school. Sort of a Monsters University. It is twistily funny where she is humorous and that creeps others. I loved the detail of the headmistress earrings being a skull.
Bea's last name and the whole setting of the school is creative. You can never be too cool for this all-ghoul school.

We reread this story and now it puzzles me when kids get puns.
How children develop a sense of humour


Dynomike: Love bug



Dynomike: Love bug is a very feel good book. Where love is spread like a bug with hugs. Good rhyme. Energetic illustrations.

Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive



Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive


The cows Molly and Mabel are hilarious. Are you curious what they doo-oo-oo on the cattle drive?

I loved the part where this plain looking blue car is dotted with flowers after they sidestep through Mayor's flower bed. Many other interesting parts where they give a hoofograph in place of autograph.

The illustrations are cute.

Little reader's thoughts:

she liked the part where the police try to get the cows on cattle drive

Barbie, I Can Be- A Pet Vet



Barbie, I Can Be- A Pet Vet (Step into Reading, Step 1) 


What a simple way of letting kids know what a vet does. A career as veterinarian can be very fulfilling for animal lovers. But that is too mouthful a word. The Pet Vet rhyme is briliantly pulled. The books shows all the different kind of cute animals that a vet takes care of. It gives a good idea to kids that a vet treats all pets, big and small. No Horse is too big for a vet. When Barbie learns that she can become a pet vet, kids too get to try being the vet career for size.

Little reader's thoughts:
She liked that Barbie was able to help her pet horse.
She also like
"Hooray for Vets
Hooray for pets"


Vet kits are one way to reel in the little vets. Another fantastic way is this veterinary anatomy coloring book. That should increase their vocabulary too.
