Safari Collection by Uncle Amon Children's Book is an AWESOME Value

I had previously read and reviewed one of Uncle Amon’s books, Happy Monsters, and was so impressed with it I knew I had to grab Safari Collection.

Safari Collection is an excellent value and it should keep kids happily occupied for quite a while. There are four awesome kids books included in this one volume and with each book there’s a total of twenty stories and oodles of jokes, puzzles, mazes and another free Uncle Amon gift. I’ve enjoyed belonging to the Uncle Amon Book Club and I’m always happy to receive an email detailing how I can get all sorts of freebies.

These stories are sweet children’s tales about friendship, family, problem-solving and other kid-friendly topics. The lovely learning lessons for kids are sure to be appreciated by parents, grandparents and caregivers. Early readers should have no problem following these stories and younger children should enjoy having these stories read to them over and over again. The expressive illustrations are sure to delight even the youngest child. I could see these books keeping children involved and happy during road trips or quiet time activities. It’s a great value!

Co-Reading with Your Child at Its Best with "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You/Very Short Stories to Read Together" by Mary Ann Hoberman

I’m a huge advocate for reading to children and any book that encourages this gets an A+ in my opinion. The author clearly agrees with me and goes one step further. She’s written a book that’s designed to be co-read by an adult and a youngster.

The stories in this book are entertaining, humorous and educational. For example, “The Dime” tells the story of one pig who loses his dime and the friend who just so happens to find a dime. They realize it’s the same coin, so they split it up and buy a book to share. So, in just this one story alone the author has managed to address honesty, sharing, problem solving and math. Brilliant! All of the stories in “You Read to Me, I'll Read to You/Very Short Stories to Read Together” are equally as good as “The Dime”.

The illustrations are adorable and aren’t only there for accompaniment. They contribute to each tale and at times tell a story all their own. They’re colorful and whimsical, and are sure to delight even the youngest child.
