Three Wonderful Children's Authors: Tali Cami, Jason Sandberg, Michael Yu

I have recently been reading a lot of children's picture books.  When I get a request to review a book I will often purchase copies of some of their other books if I like the author.  Here are three that I would recommend to any parent.

Books by Tali Carmi

When Abigail’s parents go on a business trip she spends Christmas with her grandparents. Her grandfather was a scientist and inventor. When her grandparents take a nap, Abigail begins to explore. She slips into the attic.  She discovers a magical book and bicycle. She decides to take a trip to the Amazon. Read the book and go on this great adventure with her.

 
The main character of this story has red hair and freckles and is called Terry Treetop because he likes climbing trees. His dad built him a treehouse but he had no one to play in it with him. Go with Terry on his journey to find someone to join him.

It’s summer vacation and Terry Treetop is in his treehouse when he sees a butterfly. He chases it into the woods and gets lost and hungry.  He meets several new friends on his journey. But, will they be able to help him get home?

Terry Treetop is camping with his family when he see an egg.  Terry tries to find the owner of the egg. Travel with Terry on his journey and learn about different types of animal eggs.

This is another wonderful story by an author whose work I’ve come to love. Baby Julia loves her crib. One night she hears someone crying. She opens her secret pixie wings and she flies off to the moon to find out why he is crying.  She discovers the moon is hungry.  But, what can she do to help?  She’s just a baby.
