Tomie dePaola’s Popcorn Book

VirtualBookClub
Tomie dePaola is the November author for the Virtual Book Club for Kids! We were already big fans of this author – six-year-old Emma especially adores his Strega Nona books.

We borrowed all sorts of his books from the library – I basically took every book off the shelf – and The Popcorn Book was one of our favorites! It’s a very neat exploration of the history of popcorn – perfect for little readers who like books that teach them something.

I had plans of making strings of popcorn to put on our bushes for the birds, but that hasn’t happened yet. I did get the playroom thoroughly cleaned, which was a higher priority. Book club for me is about exposing my children to wonderful authors and enjoying their stories, and we’ve definitely done that, whether or not we get around to stringing popcorn.

  1. What sweet photo! We have owned the Popcorn Book for awhile but the kids have never been too interested in it before but we’ll have to try it again. :)

  2. I love reading your book reviews. My girls are big popcorn fans so I think this would be a winner for us.

  3. We love Paola’s books, but Anna gave him only half a star for illustrations :) She said she prefers illustrations to be more “realistic”. I might still fit a post about our Paola’s book (Bible Stories) – we’ll see.
