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!”

Told from the often hilarious perspective of a well-loved 13-year-old golden retriever, I, Cosmo is an exceptionally well-written and heartwarming #middlegrade book about the special bond between a dog and his boy. The unique perspective also offers uncanny insights into complex family dynamics and human foibles, as well as canine wisdom on how to dance — and love — doggedly. 🐕 . ⚠️ A word of warning: This book will cause the reader to yearn for a dog of his or her own, so thankfully we’ll get to visit this sweet pup often. Welcome to the family, Archie! 🐶 . #icosmo #carliesorosiak #nosycrow #middlegrade #mglit #mgbooks #kidlit #readaloudrevival #bookstagram #mgbooktober #ptmiddlegradebks #ptbooksiread2019 #picturethisbook

On this International Day of the Girl Child, we thought we’d share this wonderful and affirming #picturebook by @stacymcanulty and @joannelewvriethoff that really needs to be on every girl’s shelf. My daughter’s eyes lit up when she saw how the clichéd notions of beauty and femininity in the text were wryly subverted with spirited illustrations of real girls of all stripes who understand that beauty is not skin deep, and who are fun, funny, wacky, fierce, brave, creative and smart — just like her. Now that’s what I call a beautiful message. 🌈👧 . #beautiful #stacymcanulty #joannelewvriethoff #picturebooks #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbooks #readaloud #picturethisbook

Current #readaloud 📖✨| . It feels a little sacrilegious to be admitting this here, but my introduction to JRR #Tolkien was via the LOTR movies, which I didn’t really enjoy (I fell asleep during one of the battle scenes in the third movie 🙈). So if you’d told me then that one day I would be reading #TheHobbit with my kids (and enjoying it!) or *gasp* contemplating diving into the LOTR book trilogy, I would never have believed it in a hundred years — but here we are, a mere 16 years later. Thanks to all the lovely bookish folks here on the ‘Gram, I’m constantly inspired to expand our reading horizons, and it’s been such a fantastic journey. 🤓 . Which books or authors have you been inspired to try by #bookstagram and ended up loving? 📚 . #thehobbit #jrrtolkien #readaloudrevival #kidlit #middlegrade #mglit #bookstagrammer #ptmiddlegradebks #ptbooksiread2019 #picturethisbook

Rather than the common portrayal of mummies merely as prized (albeit macabre) museum artifacts, or scary undead creatures, this lovely #picturebook written by Marcus Ewert, with illustrations by @lisabrowndraws, blows off the sands of millennia and unwraps the life of an Ancient Egyptian queen through the beautiful murals painted on the walls of her tomb and the recollections of her faithful feline companion. Hidden hieroglyphs and a key at the end of the book draw attention to details in the illustrations that add a poignant layer to their story. 👸🐈 . #kidlitcaturday #mummycat #marcusewert #lisabrown #kidlitart #kidsbookstagram #kidsbook #picturebooks #mummies #egyptology #picturethisbook

Growing up I was always drawn to mysteries, puzzles and riddles, so I’m thrilled that my daughter shares my love for them. And, thanks to the #amonthofmystery challenge hosted by @bookworm_baggins and @because.my.mother.read, I was reminded to share these cleverly written oldies but goodies: 🔎 A wacky search-and-find whodunit #picturebook with clues to real buried treasure hidden all over the US when it was first published (alas, all found by now); 🔎 A fun, twisty mystery with colourful, diverse characters; 🔎 A riddle-y adventure from a childhood favourite series that still holds up well. Are you a mystery buff too?🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️ #theclockwithoutaface #scottteplin #elihorowitz #macbarnett #thewestinggame #ellenraskin #newberymedal #thethreeinvestigators #williamarden #kidlit #middlegrademystery #mglit #picturethisbook

Falling into October with the gorgeous autumnal colours of these two wonderful #middlegrade novels: 🍂 Lenny’s Book of Everything OK, @karenfoxleeauthor probably had me at the darkly perfect first line, but I loved everything about this deeply moving and uplifting novel. Everything. And in a year of outstanding middlegrade reads, this is already one of my all-time favourites. 🍂 Watch Hollow Fans of Coraline, The Night Gardener and Small Spaces might want to bookmark this mildly spooky book which has just the right mix of magic, monster and suspense. Perfect for Halloween season.🎃 I’d love to know your thoughts if you’ve read either of these! 🍂 #lennysbookofeverything #karenfoxlee #watchhollow #gregoryfunaro #kidlit #middlegradetwinning #middlegradebooks #mgbooks #mglit #ptmiddlegradebks #ptbooksiread2019 #picturethisbook
