Weekend Reflections: A Picture tells a Thousand Words
This week Doggie boy and I have been reading the book Too Busy Marco
Doggie boy proudly announced that he created a masterpiece showcasing his favourite funny fishes- Cube-Headed La-Di-Dah, Peanut-Butter-And=Jelly fish and the Frosted Doughnutfish one evening after dinner. He also mentioned that it would be great if such fishes really existed at it would certainly make his day eating them.
My 5 yr old had been flipping through the book almost daily on his own and even started drawing out snippets of the story as shown above.I’m amazed at the details and clarity of his drawing of the different type of fishes that he read about in the book.
It shows that my efforts in reading often to the kids and trying to get them interested in reading different types of books have is slowly paying off.
If you are interested in owning your own copy you can get a copy from Amazon

That is a nice way to encourage kids into reading and to start them young too. Your son has the hand of an artist. Nice drawing!

Sounds like a great book. My kids have us read to them too. It’s fun when they use the voices I use to tell the stories or act them out later.
Great drawings.

Getting kids into reading is so important as those with young kids will see down the line. I have big kids, one is a reader and one is not. I love seeing her absorbed, nose in a book. I’m happy your guy got into the book’s groove!

Oh wow, he is so imaginative in his drawings. Totally agree with u, that reading to our kids does really pay off and it’s worthwhile spending all that time together when we see them develop their love for reading
