Reading and Sharing

There are so many good books to read. If you go to school you probably have lots of chances to talk about books with your friends. What fun to share the silly, exciting, beautiful, thoughtful things you find when you read. If you aren’t in school you can still share what you’ve read when you visit the library or at play-group or anywhere you go. The people at the grocery store, your care-giver, your doctor, most people like to hear a good story. You can ask, “Would you like to hear about the book I read?” Reading is so good for you. So is napping. P.S. At the beginning of this post there is a photograph of a pile of books. Two of those books are library books. See if you can find them.

How Does it Happen?

Do you know what a procedure is? A procedure is the way something gets done. If you want to call someone on the phone, you must dial their phone number, that's the only way you will be able to talk to your friend or your grandma or your dog. We have a procedure that we use to create our books. It involves talking and drawing and writing and looking. Here are some examples of how a drawing was created. The artist looked at the dog. The artist took a photograph of the dog so that she would remember certain details. But she also did quick sketches to capture the dog's nature.  One drawing she made with a pencil. The other drawing was made using ink. Don't you wonder who this interesting creature is? Wouldn't you like to know this dog's story? If you like, write a story about this dog and we'll post it on our blog for others to read and enjoy! You can also tell us about the procedure you used to create your story.

Have You Read Our Books?

We were just wondering... Have you read our books? Would you like to have our books for your very own? If you would like to purchase our books for yourself or someone you love, the information is on the right here. Or email us at ceeceeandfunnymadame@gmail.com If you already have our books, we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them for you.

Summer Time

Summer is a wonderful time to write someone a letter.  Letters are written to share interesting things you know about the world and to talk to the person you are writing. Maybe you have a school friend that you don't see so much in the summer time. Or perhaps you'd like to thank someone for being your friend. Or maybe your grandpa lives far, far away. Send a drawing with your letter so your reader can see what you see! You can write the President of the United States a letter.  Here's the President's address.  The President of the USA (or write the President's name) The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC 20500

Let's Do Some Counting!

One Two Three! Three friends at the park.

Whoa! What’s Happening?

Charlie is asking if it’s time to go for a walk. Which it is, and he’s happy! But you might not know that by looking at him. He looks like he might be doing something big and noisy and scary. When you meet a new dog always asks politely if he is friendly before you say hello. Everybody wants friends, but some dogs, like some people, feel shy or a little grumpy.  So ask: "May I pet your dog?"  "Would you like to play with me?"  Most likely the answer will be yes, and you’ll have made a new friend! If the answer is no, say, "That's ok, maybe some other time."
