The other day we received an advanced copy of a new book from Ryan T. Higgins called What About Worms!? This adorable book is perfect for younger kids to read on their own. Andrew is actually a bit old for this book but he enjoyed reading it nonetheless. The book is actually part of the An elephant and Piggie Like Reading Book series that is put out in conjunction with Mo Willems the creator of Elephant and Piggie. Mo selects different books and they have intros by Elephant and Piggie as well as wrap ups at the end. I like how these characters bookend the story.
Ryan T. Higgins has created one of my favorite characters, Bruce who is a very grumpy bear. The Bruce series of books are fantastic. Ryan really captures the look and feel of characters showing great emotion and also lots of humor.
In What About Worms!? we have a tiger who is afraid of worms. Despite being big and strong and a tiger he is still afraid of the little guys. So he goes through a series of events that cause him to lose it and run away being afraid of worms. When the worms show up the tables turn for some very funny moments. I think kids will get a kick out of this fun book. It comes out on May 19, 2020 from Hyperion Books for Children and will be about $10. Be on the lookout for this book.

Andrew and I started off our morning by playing some LEGO Dimensions. We played through a couple of the levels together and then we got to a point where we needed Aquaman. I had purchased that Fun Pack a little while ago and I told him. Andrew wanted to go and get it right away so I figured, what the heck, let him open it up and build it. He’d love it. Andrew did a great job building the figure and the vehicle.
When Eva came home we worked on a review for The EXTRAORDINAIRES. She did a great job on it. I will be posting that up separately but you can see the video review for The EXTRAORDINAIRES on YouTube.
We also took out the 3D-Motokits to build them today. I helped Andrew build the Dinosaur (Easy) and Eva built the Elephant (Hard). Eva was done faster than I was. I did have Andrew with me. He decided that he would punch out all the pieces first. Of course, when you are following the directions you need to know which pieces are the ones to use. I installed the motor incorrectly and then had to take it apart. Eva did the same but I was able to pop it out and put it back easily. I was very impressed with how well Eva worked on the 3D-Motokit. The kits are $4.99 each and we received them for free to give an honest review. Continue reading 3D Animals, A Very Fluffy Kitty and Aquaman! →
