Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-05 00:00:00 Evert Simon Book Review May I Bring a Friend? by Beatrice Schenk De Regniers is one of those special children's picture books we all must love. And for that, it gets 4+ out of 5 stars from this book lover. I used this book when I was teaching a class back in college as part of a collection of books on lessons for first graders back in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Imagine being invited to tea by the King and Queen, and having the audacity to ask if you could bring a friend... What could the royal couple do but say yes. And they say yes for several days, all the time our main character bring a new friend from the zoo. And how will they fit in the castle? And what if they need water? And how do they speak? So many questions for children. But it's adorable... full of great pictures and rhymes to help with memory. And in the end, the lessons are fantastic. To teach children to be kind to everyone no matter their differences. Oh... what a fun memory for today. About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-12 00:00:00 Cesar Ibarra This is a fun poem. I'm happy as the first guest brought to dinner is a giraffe. I do love giraffe's. So this feels like a lyric poem to me. The artwork uses unconventional colors in some ways. I like this book. It does make me wonder why the queen and King keep inviting this little boy over for things. Do they love the friends he brings, or are they related to him? Or is he really good at interesting conversation? Who knows. Whatever the case, the king and queen keep inviting this lad over and he asks to bring a friend and they always say yes. The kids got into this book. They kept guessing who the child would bring to dinner next. The nephew kept wanting to see a gaggle of penguins, which did not happen. The boy, we learn, lives at the zoo, so it makes sense these are his friends. The niece loved seeing the monkeys and she said, "I bet they are throwing poop balls at the king and queen." Both kids got laughing at that. They go to the zoo a ton, so they know. They both gave this 4 stars. We had a fun time all reading this together.
