Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message (Reading Rainbow Book)
$8.95
i bought this book for our family to read as my daughter began studying native american culture in 2nd grade. i especially liked it, as i am quite fond of the topic of gratitude and i have been fortunate to participate in a number of native american traditions and rituals over the years. so, this book provided me with an opportunity to do my favorite thing - tell my children stories about the time that i ... well, this book is beautifully illustrated and masterfully written for young children to better understand native american culture. the values of tradition, honor, respect, faith are consonant with all cultures and traditions and this makes a nice adjunct for anyone with other beliefs who wishes to better understand this tradition. as such, the one reviewer who gave this a "3" ought to be separated in the mind of the review-reviewer who sees a dozen "5" stars and a single "3". this is worthy of an A+ and it comes highly recommended!!!

A Child's Good Morning Book
$17.99
The sun rises and beckons the roosters to crow, the birds to fly, the horses to gallop, the squirrel to frisk, the rabbits to leap, run, and nibble. It urges the flowers to open, the bees to buzz, the bugs to creep, and the birds to sing. It is a brand new day and the author calls upon the children to wake up and asks "What will you think? What will you play?" It is a wonderful celebration of the anticipation that each new day brings and a reminder that "This is your day!"

We read this book every morning. My daughter loves the bright, bold, vibrant pictures. The illustration style is similar to a quilt or collage. There were some criticisms in other reviews for the illustrations of the sheep. I think it is important to expose children to a multitude of artistic styles. The pictures are not so abstract that you can't tell what they are; they are whimsical.

Another great part of our morning is an awesome CD with morning music that I highly recommend! Morning Magic

Good Morning: A Touch & Feel Morning Book
$5.95
This is a very good book. First of all, there are not many "morning books" out there (too many "night" books as parents all want their babies sleep tight ^_^) I greet my baby girl every morning with this book. She smiles or giggles every time I read it to her. If she doesn't have a good night sleep (means I don't have a good one either), I just read it to her after our first nap together.^_^)

I give it a 4-star because what I received from Amazon was like a returned one, not very new.
