Are you having a hard time finding a good book for your young child? One that will help teach him or her and also with you. I got a book for you. A Winter Walk in the City is worth your time to read to your child or children. It can be read to him or her from when he or she is born to the age of five.

It is a book that will help your child or children learn to count to ten. It also shows you want holidays differently. It got a counting pattern as you read. It also teaches about the different cultural holidays during the winter season.

The pictures are done beautifully. It was one I enjoyed with the bright colors and looking at the illustrations. I even learned a new word in this book. Never heard of it either. You and your child or children and learn together and read together with this book.

A parent or child can reread these books over the year. Read it during the season to learn about the different cultures and what makes living in a city so special. Children may learn about different holidays and their cultures. They will also learn to count to ten or at least try.

Not for the faint hearted, this is a film about the struggles of a woman trying to escape the clutches of her violent husband with her 2 children.

All she wants to do is to be able to provide a house for herself and her children after escaping her husband, whilst he still has access to their children and tries to get his wife back.

She ends up staying in a hotel which is too far away from her children’s school while begging for help to get placed somewhere closer. She ends up researching about building her own small house on a budget, and finds that if she has some land that she can build her own little house for around €35,000.

We watch as she struggles to find help and somewhere to build her home, but this film shows us that wherever you look, people are willing to help.

Whilst it is based around an upsetting subject, this film has a hopeful feel about it. It was slow to start, but once you get into it, it is a thoroughly good film. The two children who play the daughters are wonderful little actresses and had such good chemistry with Claire Dunne (who played their mother, Sandra).

If you are looking for a book that will help your child or children understand what happened a year ago. This book named "During a Pandemic" by Ashley Perrotti is a good fit. It is simple and understandable for a child or anyone to understand what a pandemic is.

The book explains the pandemic and the changes that are going around. It makes it understandable for children. The pictures are simple and drawn well. It shows you what's essential in life. It does not over complicate what everyone is going through with this book.

This book happens to be for children. Still, it has been put into simple words and pictures to understand what was happening around us for the last year; it is still going on today. I love that this explains and is delivered to understand. I did see that throughout the book.

We see what we changed for others, while this explains keeping people safe and learning to deal with the changes that would keep ourselves and our family safe. You will learn about what the pandemic is or what the word means with this straightforward book. Children will learn as well. It will be easy for them to understand.

Digger Does it all (Not Really) is an excellent book to teach children about cooperation and teamwork. This book focuses on Digger. Will he do it all? Digger learns that he can't do everything at the construction site, but he has his talents.

Will he learn that it is okay for others to do what is best for them? He does not need to boast about doing everything himself but be himself. Will his friends at the construction site show him or let him know that he should do what he is talented at. They can work together.

Children will love reading this book. They will also enjoy looking at the pictures. The age is three years old and higher, but I feel it could be two years and up. I have a cousin that will love this book, and he will be turning two soon.

I love how the binding and book are on thick boards; You turn the pages, and it is decent. The plot of the story is excellent for all children. They will learn what will happen if someone is boastful and tries to do everything. They will know it best to be themselves. The parent can teach their children if they so choose.
