Wee Reads: Cleo and Cornelius: A Tale of Two Cities and Two Kitties

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



Cleo and Cornelius: A Tale of Two Cities and Two KittiesCleo and Cornelius 


  

Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshipped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are treated like kings. In Rome, the activities never end! Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theater, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt? A spin on Aesop’s classic fable “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Cleo and Cornelius is teeming with hungry hippos, toga-clad dogs, and dancing cat mummies, bringing new excitement to a timeless tale.

Do you like this book?
Yeah because I just like kitties.

What's your favorite part of the book?
I like the parts with the kitties and the doggies. And the mummies! In puppy dog pals there is a mummy!

What do you think of the cover?
I like kitties. It's so cute!

Do you want me to read it again?
I just want the book. I hope we get it soon.


We received an ARC copy of this for review. 

Cleo and Cornelius is an adorable book about two kitties who go on adventures. The illustrations are really cute and it looks like an interesting book.

That is sadly the only thing I could gather about this book, because we received an ARC copy on kindle to review. However, the pages were cut in half, and out of order. So it was incredibly difficult to read. What we got of it, it seems cute though.

Wee Reads: In My Heart by Jo Witek

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



In My Heart: A Book of FeelingsIn my Heart by Jo Witek


Sometimes my heart feels like a big yellow star, shiny and bright.
I smile from ear to ear and twirl around so fast,
I feel as if I could take off into the sky.
This is when my heart is happy.
Happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness . . . our hearts can feel so many feelings! Some make us feel as light as a balloon, others as heavy as an elephant. In My Heart explores a full range of emotions, describing how they feel physically, inside. With language that is lyrical but also direct, toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. With whimsical illustrations and an irresistible die-cut heart that extends through each spread, this unique feelings book is gorgeously packaged.

Do you like this book?
Yeah! I like all of the colorful hearts and pictures!

What's your favorite part of the book?
I like when the heart is mad and goes BOOM!! And I like the picture with the monster! (When the heart is scared) This book makes me happy and sad!

What do you think of the cover?
I like it lots! The hearts are colorful! And so pretty!

Do you want me to read it again?
Sometime later.


This is a beautifully illustrated book all about emotions. I love how it goes over almost all of the emotions. Being happy, mad, sad, heartbroken, scared, shy. Even more. It's beautiful and well written and I love how the hearts are cut out.
