When it comes to books that are beautifully illustrated and empowering for children, Barefoot Books is at the top of the pile. Barefoot Books concentrates on books that encourage imagination and make-believe. They also think it’s important that children explore other cultures and countries, so their books focus on opening up the world to small children. Barefoot Books’ stories are all exquisitely illustrated, and are a joy for parents and children alike.
Kids’ Garden is just one of their many wonderful books. Kids’ Garden presents forty outdoor games and activities to help kids experience and enjoy the exciting world right outside their front door. It offers suggestions for art projects using things found outside, fun things to do with plants and lots of other ideas. It also comes with an eight-page informative booklet with information on gardening and taking care of plants. Any child who likes to play outside and get a little dirty will love Kids’ Garden.
Another fun book by Barefoot Books is their sing along book for children, Up, Up, Up! Up, Up, Up! is a book with a story that’s meant to be sung, and it comes with an audio CD to listen to while reading. This beautifully illustrated story tells about kids who take a balloon all the way to the stars, and will definitely catch and keep the attention of preschoolers.
My daughter loved the CD included with Up, Up, Up! and wanted to listen to it all the time, even when we weren’t reading the book. It also made it easier for her to read the book to herself, with the CD helping her along. Up, Up, Up! has already become her new favorite bedtime story.
Although Kids’ Garden is for ages eight and up, I still found some fun activities for the two of us to do together. However, if you have school-aged children, I’m sure that they will love Kids’ Garden. It’s a perfect book for a beautiful day when you want to get out of the house. There are some activities for each season, so there’s always something fun to do.
Barefoot Books offers lots of creative books for children of all ages. Up, Up, Up! will delight preschoolers with its creative story and fun sing along CD. Kids’ Garden offers lots of fun things for you and your children to do together outside, and will hold their attention for hours. Barefoot Books provides books that are creative and imaginative, and these two are definitely both.
