This is a feature that was started by Sara at Forever 17 Books after she read this babble article. I decided to join in because I love getting the innocent and oh so insightful opinion of kids. My 4 year old son and 3 year old daughter took a look at the cover of one of my favorites. I asked them to look at the cover and tell me what they thought the book was about.
Daughter (age 3): This is about a ballerina and she can’t walk on the red. There’s a bad witch and she made the hot lava.
Son (age 4): This is about a ballerina in a hot lava tube and she can’t walk through it. She was in the woods and now she can’t get past the hot lava. When she took a step, she fell in the hot lava.
(I thought it was interesting that both kids thought that Anna was a ballerina. I guess it’s the dress!)

Would you like to join in? All you need is a kid (your own or a nice/nephew/cousin/friend) a book and some paper and crayons! More details here.
I just love these, you must do more. Also, I think their story ideas would make AWESOME stories!
That is interesting that both thought Anna was a ballerina. I might have to get my copy out just to see what Katie thinks about it. Wouldn’t it be REALLY weird if she said ballerina, too? 😛 Great drawings!!!
Your kids are so imaginative! I loved what their thoughts were and the pictures were so cute! 🙂
I forgot to have D play this week. I loved your kids answers for this book though. Ballerinas and lava just don’t mix.
I have be taught a very few good things in this article. Absolutely worth bookmarking pertaining to revisiting. I wonder the amount attempt you set to develop this kind of amazing informative web page.
My dream would not be just 1 place. Just having the money and ability to travel and see it all.
