RTL: Can You See What I See? : Treasure Ship

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Book Title:  Can You See What I See?: Treasure Ship: Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve
Author: Walter Wick
Islamically Appropriate?: Yes
Genre: Fiction
Book Format: Picture Book
Age Group: K-3
Book Review: From Booklist: In the latest entry in Wick’s Can You See What I See? series, the dramatic subject is shipwrecks: what is buried under the sea, what washes up onto coastal shores. The rhyming, find-and-seek games will entice kids to look for the minute details in each packed spread. The search is not always easy, which will stretch out the enjoyment as kids pore over each page. Even the cover hides some surprises, like a hidden pirate skull and a cannonball. Another winning installment in the popular series. Grades K-3.

There are other books in this series, some of which are not Islaamically appropriate but I would like to check out others that (from their title and cover) seem to suggest that they may be Islaamically appropriate insha'Allaah.

Until the next read insha'Allaah....

RTL: Counting Chickens

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Book Title: Counting Chickens
Author: Flensted
Islamically Appropriate?: Yes
Genre: Non-Fiction
Book Format: Picture Book
Age Group: 4-6
Book Review: The mobiles in this book are charming and the author shows how counting can be easily done using the simple designs in each mobile. Each page asks children to find and count certain objects that are found in each mobile presented. There is also a challenge question that encourages the child to think a bit harder *smile*.

There is one page that seems to be related to Halloween so this page should be skipped.
The mobiles in this book may give teachers/parents fun ideas for mobiles they can make with/for their children and how they can use them in math related activities...waallaahu a'lam.

Until the next read insha'Allaah....
