Children’s books reviews : Stories for 3-7 yr old kids

Hello readers! As I said in my 2023 goals, I’m going to read to my kid every week and if possible, more and once I started I actually read her almost daily. From various stories I read to her, I came to know she likes books with fewer sentences more pictures and if she has to listen to long stories she pays attention for some time and then falls asleep!! I also read her bedtime stories available on the internet and have discovered she loves princess stories more and I’m not surprised Cinderella is her favorite so far. So here are children’s book reviews of stories for 3-7 yr old kids. Check out which one my kid loved-

Review

My kid read this on her own. It is a cute book with lovely illustrations that introduce first shape and then animals playing the objects with similar shape. Illustrations are bright and colorful and even ebook looked beautiful so I’m sure physical book might be even more beautiful that kids would love to read and flip through again and again.

Review

Another book that my kid read herself and she loves to read this daily. Learning opposites with animal pictures makes this book different than other opposite board books I have seen so far. We dive right into the book that first shows the picture of an animal with a word and then its opposite with an animal picture. Mine is eARC so I have to flip the page for the opposite word but I think physical book might have both opposite words side by side (see pic below). There are easy opposite words for early learning kids. Animal illustrations are very cute and each opposite word set has different bright colors.

Review

Another book my kid almost read herself. She enjoyed identifying animals. Reina and her friends visit the zoo with Reina’s parents and one by one they explore the animals. What is good in this is each animal is described with small facts. The illustrations are colorful and the rhymes are good but not the best.

The Jungle Crew by Emma Scott

Publication Date : July 31, 2015
Publisher : Jolly Publisher
Pages : 27

Book Links : Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk

Synopsis

Making new friends is a wonderful thing. Should you have a lot in common with your new friend? Do you have to look the same? What happens when you look very different from each other?

“The Jungle Crew” is an enjoyable rhyming story about how animals big and small meet and become great friends. Each animal has something special to share. Although they are look very different, there is something lovable in each and every one.

This is a story about diversity and how unusual friendships can lead to fun times and happy occasions. “The Jungle Crew” is a great bedtime story for children 3-5 years old.

Review

This is Kindle Free book I downloaded and read to My kid. It’s bit long for her as there are more sentences than illustrations and she, of course, couldn’t get the deeper meaning of ragtag crew, misunderstood lion who is actually very nice, making friends who are different from each other have their own characteristics, how they all care and love each other that sheds their differences and make them all same living in their jungle home together as a family. However, she enjoyed identifying each animal and she could get some easy words like friends, funny, teeth, help, etc. It’s really good for 5-7yrs old kids.

Thank you for reading! Let’s chat..,
