Flowers are Calling & Castle Full of Cats: 4/18/2015

 

Hi this is Betsy from Ottos with a beautiful way to share nature with your children.  Read them Flowers Are Calling, a book about the way flowers are pollinated.  It has a playful text like: “Flowers are calling a little black bear.  No, not a bear!  He doesn't care.  They're calling a butterfly to dip from the air.”  A dozen different flowers are beautifully pictured and described with the particular features that attract different kinds of birds and insects..  The book ends with a note to explain the importance of pollinators and the ways you can attract them to your yard.  Flowers Are Calling--what a nice way to start a love of nature in your little ones! 

And for some hilariious fun, read them the picture book. A Castle Full of Cats.  Ruth Sanderson has written and illustrated the story of a Queen who loved her cats—dozens of them.  They try, unsuccessfully, to win over the king who thinks getting a huge dog will solve his dilemna—but does it?  A Castle Full of Cats and Flowers Are Calling—you'll find them at Otto's a booklover's paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport
