    This book is one of the best resources on the market for language arts enrichment. It is authored by Trish Kuffner, who herself is the homeschooling mother of five. Picture Book Activities utilizes 50 award winning children's books such as "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Blueberries for Sal, Madeline and Harold and the Purple Crayon" as the basis for its curriculum. The curriculum is divided into the categories: Before You Read, As You Read, Let's Talk About It, Arts and Crafts, Cooking and Baking, Fun and Games, Rhymes and Finger Plays, Fun and Games, Let's Pretend, Music and Movement, Play and Learn and Enrichment Activities. There is also an appendix which covers basic craft recipes, making books with children, children's book awards, and picture book resources. On the book cover it states "fun and games for preschoolers" however this book can be utilized with children pre k through grade 2.

    I have been using this for about 4 months with my 3 and 5 year old boys. We love the entire experience we get from this book. Always having loved reading, this book has triggered a deep desire and great enjoyment in finding and reading good books to my boys, and then doing the related activities. I'm asked several times a day if we can do more activites for whichever book we are currently on.

    I totally agree with Trish Kuffner's philosophy on reading. The quotes she chose for the introductory chapters are absolutely priceless. Her short book reviews for each selection are delightfully insightful and the stimulating related activities project cozy, loving approach. My thanks to the author for writing this wonderfully inspirational book.
