Bobbie Kalman
Posted in Resource Books
I am finding that Bobbie Kalman has a
ton of excellent books for preschool-2nd(ish) grade. They're
written for early elementary kids to read, and so they are sometimes
too texty for preschoolers, so I just summarize it when we read
them. But they have tons of pictures, and the information is
really good. It's a good review for mom  Here's a link to all of her books on Amazon - Bobbie Kalman
She's worth checking out at the library - we have a small-town library
but it is suprisingly well-stocked. I've been really impressed.
And they have a ton of her books, which have been really
helpful. |

This is a book I picked up at the library today. It's a good book, with lots and lots of simple ideas in it. The Ultimate Preschool Playbook : Easy, Educational, and Entertaining Activities for Your Two- to Five-Year-Old by Dorothy Einon.
It's linked to Amazon....I see they have them used for $1.25 - not
bad. Some of her other books look good, too. Worth
checking to see if your library has it.

just love this Williamson Kids Can series. Our library has
several of these books, and they are just excellent. Lots
of fun, good, cheap ideas. Here is a sampling of their
titles: The Kids' Multicultural Cookbook: Food & Fun Around the World Ecoart!: Earth-Friendly Art and Craft Experiences for 3-To 9-Year-Olds The Kids' Nature Book: 365 Indoor/Outdoor Activities and Experiences Vroom!

Kathy Ross books - she is so creative!!!!! Once again, a lot of these can be found at the library. Although, hers are so cool I wouldn't mind collecting them LOL!
