Reviewing Two JTK Belle Children’s Books

I have 4 kids. Two of them like reading. I guess that means I got it half-right? Anyway, my youngest and I sit down and read books together all the time. Over the course of two nights we sat and read two books I won through a goodreads giveaway. This is the first time we ever read electronic copies of books together. The format worked just fine. See my detailed review of J.T.K. Belle’s books Breakfast in the Barnyard and I Dont’t Like to Eat Ants below.

Breakfast in the Barnyard by J.T.K. Belle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cute Story

My 2nd header and I just read this book. It was fun to read. The alliteration, rhythm, pacing and vibrant illustrations were great.

I Don't Like to Eat Ants by J.T.K. Belle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Good Book for Reluctant Eaters

My second grader and I sat down and read this book. It was cute, but my son didn’t like the the anteaters didn’t have names. I felt calling the anteaters Anteater One and Anteater Two slowed the pace of the book a little. Overall, the story was cute. The story is about an anteater that decides he doesn’t like ants and tries to convince his friend to eat other foods with him. The reluctant anteater eventually tries peanut butter and jelly and realizes he too likes other foods. This is a good book for the reluctant eater.
