Last year, we began filming "Storytime," my video book reviews, and I'm shocked to tell you that we have amassed about 270 of these features.

Wow. That means I've reviewed some 270 kiddie books. Do you know how many WORDS that is? No, I don't either.

So, I've decided to take a look back at some of the highlights of "Storytime" – those books that stand out among the rest, the videos when we've had some special tail-wagging visitors
and the tales that are just so quirky you can't forget them.

And there's a lot. First up is Irene Breznak's "Sneezy Louise."

"Best readalouds available"!

 

Welcome To

Read Aloud Review!

By Arlene Rossen Cardozo, PhD

"Our intent is to help all of you - parents, teachers and librarians - who love to read aloud to children, by reviewing the best readalouds available whether new or older. We choose books by authors who write imaginatively, whose narratives drive the text (with the illustrations simply an enhancement) and whose books have a core integrity worthy of discussion."

Sneezy Louise

 

Random House Books for Young Readers

Even before breakfast, Louise knows that it isn’t going to be an easy day. Her itchy eyes, wheezy throat, and very, very sneezy nose lead to trouble at school, during ballet class, and even while reading a bedtime story.

Irene Breznak’s rhythmic refrain is “catching” as characters implore Louise to “cover your mouth, PLEASE!”—a message that parents will appreciate!

Janet Pederson’s charming watercolors bring Louise to life as well as that tickly, sneezy feeling familiar to everyone!

 Takingthekids.com Travel Tip of the Day

Sneezy Louise teaches kids hygiene

Anywhere you are traveling this holiday season, you want to encourage the kids to “travel healthy” –washing their hands frequently, staying away from those who are coughing and sneezing and covering their mouths when they need to  cough and sneeze too. 
Bring along the new children’s book son, SNEEZY LOUISE (Random House Books for Young Readers) by Irene Breznak, illustrated by Janet Pedersen  about having a case of the sniffles and all of the characters implore Louise to “cover your mouth, PLEASE!” .
