Margo's Musings: A New World in My Room

Margo is very excited about the new children's picture book A New World in My Room by Dee Dee Colabella. This charming story presents a creative way to transition children from a crib to a "big kid" bed. Margo loved Tia's fancy pink style, and she seemed to relate to Tommy's desire for the safety of his blanket. Growing up can be scary, and this book brings a fun way to help kids expand their horizons in their own special space. The idea of sleep has taken on a whole new meaning for Margo, and my parents couldn't be happier!

I enjoyed this book! It was fun to read with Margo, and we both had a blast thinking up different ways to decorate our rooms. My little sister's plans included a few more unicorns than mine- but, not that many more. ; )

Happy reading! ~ F

A New World in My Room brings the family of young children into a world created during the transition from cribs to "big kid" beds. Tia and Tommy are introduced to their transformed room for the first time and create a wonderful world of imagination and adventures.

*Dee Dee Colabella will be stopping by on Friday to tell us about her story. We'll be hosting a giveaway for a signed hardcover edition of this new children's book, so be sure to check back!

Answer to Monday's Riddle: A Gateway to Dreaming...

Mrs. Vanderbilt’s bedroom suite/ 1897. Yes, please. :) 

Excellent guessing Riddlers! This week we'll be exploring bedtime. Margo's got a story she wants to tell us about, and Friday, we have a special guest stopping by, so be sure to check back! See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

I'm the ship that carries you away, embarking at night, traveling to day. I've no crew, but for the characters in tow, and they'll be appearing throughout the show. Though you set sail, I stay in place, keeping you safe and warm in your space. You'll navigate through the depths within, not knowing with who or where you've been. When you arise and dock safely on shore, here and now is forevermore. I always welcome you on board, for this is a ride all can afford. As the captain, you must go down with the ship, so it's lucky this one's not likely to tip. 

What am I referring to? Answer: A bed!

Margo's Musings: ✯ ✩✶ ★✦☆✭ ★ ✬ ✦✩ ★✶

Stars are everywhere.

Not just in the sky.

I'm over the moon happy to share Margo's latest book obsession with you. She heard it last week for the first time and has wanted it read to her no less than three times a day since. Luckily, I love it too! Stars is written by Mary Lyn Ray and illustrated by Marla Frazee. It's an enchanting story for people of all ages. The illustrations are imaginative and fanciful, which makes them flow perfectly with the writing. Of course, since we first read the story Margo has had a star in her pocket, and so have I. Plus, we've been looking for stars everywhere, and I'm amazed at all the places we've discovered them!

Have you ever wondered what a star is? If so, this book will take you on a wild adventure and help your imagination soar. Stars may come out when it is almost night, but we can find them just about anywhere. We know stars make the night seem less scary, so isn’t it a good idea to carry a one with us? Who knows when we'll need a star for ourselves or starlight to give to another. Margo loves stargazing with me, and now she points out objects all the time that she's deemed a “star”. Like Margo, you'll fall in love with this book. I like the message within the words of the story; stars are everywhere! I would recommend this book to kids, book lovers, and sky gazers of all ages.

Happy reading! ~ F
