KINDERGARTEN CLASS - BIRTHDAY READING

Toula, the kids loved the book and the lollipops!!!  Attached are a few pics.  The best parts were when we all made rocket ship noises, and doing the "Arrrrrrr!" as pirates.  We guessed the colors on the hot air balloon, and also found the letter X.   Great job on the book!

Thanks again.

My 4 year-old son is very particular about which books he wants to listen to.  From the first time we read, “What Can We Do Next?” he was hooked.  We have been reading it every day for a month and now he knows the story well enough to “read” it himself.

In today's entertainment focused culture, this book is a wonderful reminder to children, that they have the power, to entertain themselves!

"What Can We Do Next?" explores the mind of Lexie, a little girl stuck inside, on a rainy day. Through reading Lexie's adventures, children are encouraged to use their imaginations, and prompted with lines like, "treasures don't always have to be gold coins or jewels"...a refreshing sentiment, in times like these, when our children are bombarded with images of greed, every day. This book encourages creative thinking and could be well used, in a preschool, kindergarten or first grade classroom.  Children could be prompted to draw or write about what kind of imaginary friend they might create, and what types of adventures they might dream up. All in all, a delightful read, which I highly recommend.

Reading it to my three-year-old granddaughter for the first time, I found the book to be slightly longer than her attention span, though she did take great interest in the adventures of Lexie and Lolly at the time.  She now asks me to read it to her, and enjoys hearing it over and over.   

The book is extremely valuable in stimulating children to create
and enjoy their own imaginary friends.  I particularly liked the way Lexie named her imaginary new friend.  Liking lollipops and bright colors, she came up with the name "Lolly".

I hope there will be more stories to come.  Well Done!

"What Can We Do Next?" is a charming delightful book featuring a child's imagination. In today's world with children's obsessions of electronic gadgets; this book is a breath of fresh air. It brings back the "olden" days when children amused themselves for hours with simple things. A blanket became a cave or a cape, imaginary creatures would chase us around the yard and we'd have to hide behind a tree or rock to escape being eaten alive! I highly recommend this book and I hope Ms. Magi will write a sequel for more imaginary adventures of Lexie and Lolly! Two thumbs up!

What Can We Do Next? The Adventures of Lexie and Lolly is a delightful new children's book. Lexie and Lolly's adventures truly teaches young children how to use their imagination to pass the time on a "rainy day" or anytime they wish. In today's world, young children often don't think to use their imagination with all of the available technology. This story will help children to develop that imagination. The pictures were beautifully done and are very colorful. I will thoroughly enjoy reading this delightful book to the children as a childcare provider.

I bought the book for my son Nikolas who was eight at the time. He can really use his imagination, so he enjoyed the adventures. He then read it to a friend's 3 year old daughter and she listened attentively as he read each page. She didn't want to part with it, so we gave it her! I gave another copy to a friend who has 3 girls and they all enjoyed it. This is a great book to have and share with friends! I love the colorfulness of the words and pages!
