Carole P. Roman Books Review

I simply love books written by Carole P. Roman! We were blessed to receive several books from her collection that she has written. Many of these were written by her for her grandchildren. She really has a way of writing engaging literature that is also informative and educational for children of all ages. Each of her books is filled with delightful illustrations and rich, descriptive language.

Oh Susannah: It's in the Bag: An Oh Susannah Story This is an easy to read chapter book geared for ages 7-12. Susannah is a sweet third grader who finds herself easily overwhelmed with her busy life. She keeps stuffing things into her bag, and at the end of the day she just can't handle how everything has piled up. Her parents help her sort things out and give her some ways to manage things from a practical perspective. The chapters are fairly short. I read this one aloud to my kids in one afternoon, so that gives you some perspective of the length of this book.

Fribbet the Frog and the Tadpoles: A Captain No Beard Story Cayla, Alexander, and Hallie pretend to be pirates on board their ship. They enjoy playing together and imagining new adventures. In this adventure, Fribbet the Frog is sad and scared. Big changes are happening in his home. Baby tadpoles are EVERYWHERE! Fribbet is afraid and annoyed at how much attention they require. AND how many messes they make. Fortunately for Fribbet, his friends help him see that having little brothers and sisters around isn't so bad after all. At the end of the story, the children's mother comes into their room with their newest baby brother. This is precious story that explains in an imaginative yet informative way that some families will go through as new children are born. It would be a sweet story to read before welcoming a new baby into the family. This entire series is written for ages 3-8.

Rocket-Bye is a sweet bedtime story through outer space. Two children ride together on a rocket through the universe. They explore planets and fly past constellations as they zoom through the galaxy. The children end their journey, snoring, snug in their bed. Children as young as two may enjoy this story. There are not many words on the pages, and the gentle rhyming pattern would soothe and calm children, making this title a perfect addition to a bedtime routine. This sweet story is written for ages 2-8.

If You Were Me and Lived In...Elizabethan England: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 8) Don't be deceived by this picture book! It is surprisingly informative with lots of details shared throughout. I personally learned several new facts. For instance, did you know that nobody drank water in this time period? Cider and ale was much more popular. Girls didn't attend school because their place was in the home where they learned their manners and how to say prayers. Women were not allowed to act in the plays, so the youngest male members had to play the female parts of the play. See? Lots of interesting facts. If this is a time period that you are currently studying, be sure to include this book as part of your curriculum. This is an entire series of books, so you can easily include one every time you study a new time period. Typically these titles are geared for ages 8-15. Younger children will enjoy hearing these titles read aloud to them. Older children can read them on their own.
