Wee Ones Wednesday | #CYBILS2023 Book Reviews 12.20.2023

Chris Van Allsburg said it better than we ever could …

“Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.”

Plus, it’s a “seasonal” quote that perfectly illustrates the concepts behind this week’s featured picture books. Have You Seen My Sock? is all about that sock that inexplicably goes missing. In Invisible Things the authors invite readers to visualize things that are unseen but tangible – like an itch or fear.

Keep reading to *see* for yourself.

BOARD BOOK

Brooke @ Goodreads – This is a book my children would beg for again and again. Just a darling group of animals, funky different socks for all of them, and great rhymes that work so well. The extra flaps for the final page and the big reveal for the lost socks? Golden. Would make a great gift for any baby/toddler.


FICTION PICTURE BOOK

Sam @ Little Club Literacy – This is a great book for mindfulness as well as when teaching the five senses! A fantastic reminder to littles that ‘just because you can’t see something, doesn’t mean it’s not there!’ Creativity abounds in these pages, and it would certainly be fun to have young artists draw some of the things they can’t see as a follow-up activity!
