Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton

Posted on 04/10/2013 by picturethisbook

This cute board book teaches colours by featuring animals wearing different items of clothing.

A turkey who can’t seem to wear the clothes the right way is used for comic effect on each spread — “Blue hat, green hat, red hat, oops!”

In honour of our first and last meal in Okinawa, here’s the cutest Japanese board book I’ve seen! Who else is a fan of #onigiri? 🍙 🍙 🍙 #kidlitart #picturebook #picturebooks #boardbook #japanesepicturebook #絵本 #porktamagoonigirihonten #picturethisbookinjapan #picturethisbook

Just finished this heartwarming memoir about the author’s extraordinary bond with the penguin he rescued from an oil slick and looked after when he was a young man working and living in a college in Argentina. Have you read it? 🐧 | Aside: So I picked up this hilarious promotional bookmark at Tsutaya (see previous post), but later discovered that this funny guy was “Professor Poo” — the mascot for the phenomenally successful #UnkoKanji series of educational workbooks where the word “unko” or “poo” appears in every single one of its 3,018 sample sentences, to make kanji (adopted logographic Chinese characters) practice drills fun and engaging for kids who might otherwise dread writing and memorising hundreds of characters — brilliant! Now all we need is something similar for kids who need to do writing drills in Chinese 🤔💩#thepenguinlessons #tommichell #ptbooksiread2018 #picturethisbookinjapan #picturethisbook

Travelling with extended family means that we are afforded the luxury of doing some late-night exploration and book hunting sans kids. This #Tsutaya outlet in Naha that we checked out a couple of nights ago isn’t as fancy as the ones in the bigger cities like Osaka and Tokyo, but their children’s section is still pretty well stocked with thoughtful book displays and even a small play area for the little ones. Scroll to see the Japanese edition of @kimberly_brubaker_bradley’s #TheWarThatSavedMyLife which has a rather different overall look and feel, as well as to take a closer look at the drop-dead-gorgeous Japanese translation of @carsonellis’s #DuIzTak — I mean, just look at that bug-inspired type on the cover! (Also, the photos don’t do any justice to the superb quality of the printing and paper.) Anyway, don’t you agree that there’s just something extra special about bookshops in the night time? 📚 #tsutaya #bookshop #bookstore #ptbookshops #picturethisbookinjapan #picturethisbook

We’re a few minutes shy of Father’s Day in Okinawa so I couldn’t resist sharing this wacky but sweet Japanese #picturebook that we spotted in one of the bookstores, for all the superdads out there. . An award-winning bestseller, Otosan wa Urutoraman” (Daddy is Ultraman) by #TatsuyaMiyanishi was first published in 1996 and imagines Ultraman as being married with a son. A tribute to the author’s own father, the nine short episodes in the book are all true-to-life and relatable, and shows a more human side to the superhero. For example, in one of them, Ultraman is battling a monster with all his strength. Then, as he returns home totally exhausted, his son innocently comes up and asks to play monsters with him. In the final cut, we see Ultraman putting on a monster mask and being attacked by the son — along with the line: “He never fails to save energy for this.” . Alas, this picture book and its sequels don’t seem to have been translated into any other languages, so I didn’t actually read it myself and all the information about the book was taken off an old article from Japan Times — but doesn’t it sound like a #picturebook any dad would love? 👨#otosanwaurutotoraman #daddyisultraman #tatsuyamiyanishi #japanesepicturebook #picturebooks #絵本 #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbookstagram #picturethisbookinjapan #picturethisbook

Rainy days are a great excuse for spending a leisurely hour in a bookstore, and we found the perfect refuge at Miraiya Shoten, located in its own stand-alone building amid the sprawling Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom — so it didn’t even feel like we were in a mall. The kids were entertained by the toys at the round table under the gorgeous indoor tree while I browsed the well-curated book displays. Swipe to see more! 📚 #miraiyashoten #bookshop #bookstore #beautifulbooks #ptbookshops #picturebooks #絵本 #thisismybookstore #picturethisbookinjapan #picturethisbook

Cold night, snuggle tight 😴 #apicturebookgoodnight #kidlitart #kidlit #picturebook #shinsukeyoshitake #kidsbook #kidsbookstagram #picturethisbook
