Bashfulbook bee has the found the sweetest book about trust.  Can I Tell You a Secret? by Anna Kang.  The little frog Monty in the book has a BIG SECRET.  Fearing he will disappoint his parents he holds his secret inside.  In the story,  he finally shares his secret with a friend. The person reading the book is Monty's new friend. He explains his fear, and the friend encourages him to talk to his parents.  After lot's of encouragement from the friend, he finally after a lot of attempts tells his parents.  The joy of the story is, of course,  that his parents knew all along. With their help, they face his fear head on....Monty learns no more secret's from his parents!~  This book has heart, thinking, challenges, great moral, and the artwork is GREAT.

Bashful Book Bee "BEELIEVE'S" in sharing the love of books and reading with everyone. But her primary goal is to introduce books to children, teachers, educators, parents, and grandparents.

Following Dot International week, I thought it would be "BEEFITTING" to give credit to another of Peter H. Reynolds books....  Playing For the Heart.   Reynolds creates a heart filled story of a young boy who has a gift of tone that allows him to play the piano with no formal training.  In an effort to help his young son develop his gift, his father provides him with a teacher and lessons.  The lessons, however, take the joy out of the young pianist gift.  The more he practices, and greater his skills the less he wants to play.  The young boy as he grows, plays less and less.  As an adult, he no longer plays. One day his father becomes ill. As soon as the boy arrives at his father's side the father requests him to play.  The song that brought the most joy to the father and the son was not one of a famous composer, but the song the son had played from his heart.  The story gives so many lessons of encouragement for young people to strive to be creative and find joy in their art.  Many writing prompts given by teachers are used from stories with heart.... Playing For the Heart will definitely be the book that many teachers can use with heart.
Bashfulbookbee wishes to give this book....

Best App of the week:

 here is a sample
Symbaloo by Tech Teacher    https://www.symbaloo.com/mix/quickeasy

Sept. 15 is International Dot day, so with that Bashfulbookbee's "Beeloved" book of the week is The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. 

 While many may use this book as an Art lesson... I think in this story you will find much more.... courtesy, facing a challenge, try and try again, never give up, do unto others....

But another great positive is the way the teacher in this book encourages creativity as well as building confidence in her student.  It seems sometimes we stress to our children to strive to make the grade of 100 or an A so much, that then we create children who are afraid to take risks.  Doing the best job we can is important, but we don't want them to give up with out even giving it a try~

 Check it out I think you will find it's a must for every classroom.

Happy Reading...
