A quick note from Melinda:We are all pretty excited today. We'd already been excited that a couple of our books were soon to be read out as part of a new YouTube channel for kids.😊 After email discussions yesterday, it now looks like the whole Top of the Wardrobe Gang picture book series have been invited to be placed for sale as Read Aloud editions, as part of a very good looking children's app on the iTunes Apple store! 😊😊 We are hoping this will get our books seen by lots more young children, and we will keep you posted! 🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️ I've given the gang the task of designing their own series illustration, while I finish off the print editions for "The Bear Cub And The Ducklings"... To any young fans waiting for Book 2 in our new Ragnar Rabbit series, we promise that we are about to start illustrating that book next! ❤️ A quick #RhyPiBoMo note from Odd Sock:M's now taken me to the library, and I've picked 20 picture books to read as part of Rhyming Picture Book Month! (Don't tell M, but some of them aren't rhyming stories; I just liked the look of them!)
It's going to take me a while to read all this lot, but Burton Bear has kindly offered to help me turn the pages, as most of them are bigger than me! We are still also looking out for YouTube videos to watch of great Rhyming Picture Books being read. We all voted for our 2 favourite rhyming picture books from the ones we looked at last week, and the 2 below, Iggy Peck Architect, and Rosie Revere Engineer, both by Andrea Beaty, were the winners! Bye for now! Love Odd xxx

A note from Odd Sock...Hi everyone!
We've just hit publish on the eBook version of our TENTH rhyming picture book, and I promised M that I would finally start writing a few blogposts again. As this April is also the third annual Rhyming Picture Book Month event, I thought I'd join in with the pledge and help M read 2 rhyming picture books each day. If anyone wants to join in the fun, then #RhyPiBoMo also has daily blogposts about rhyming picture books. You can find them here on Angie Karcher's blog. => https://angiekarcher.wordpress.com As I didn't want to re-read our old favourites, and our UK library sadly seems to lack many rhyming picture books, I've just been exploring YouTube. I discovered there are lots of old classics (including many Dr.Seuss books we've never seen before) as "read aloud" versions. They allow you to also read each page for yourself if you just turn the volume off and press pause as each page is revealed. Not as "hands on" as a trip to the library, but a handy modern day option when looking for 2 new rhyming picture books to read each day! 🌟 In honour of this year's Day 1 RhyPiBoMo blogpost, I thought we should check out Dr.Seuss' VERY FIRST rhyming picture book, "To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street".🌟 My verdict: Good rhyming fun, and great Dr. Seuss illustrations. You can view it on YouTube here... => http://youtu.be/8w1Wn6AVRe4 🌟"Marvin K.Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" is a second Dr. Seuss book we'd not read before. This one is a fairly short and simple picture book, but it also has some great zany Dr. Seuss illustrations.🌟 Here's the YouTube link in case anyone else wants to read or listen to this one. => http://youtu.be/2ZJP_rHnVhk Bye for now Love Odd Sock |
