Dress up is a favorite for most kids, I can tell by the constant cleanup my dress up stash requires. For the girls there are fabulous dresses, fairy wings, jewelry, and high heels while boys tend to get firefighters, policeman, chef, and superheroes. I've always encouraged my kids to dress up how they please during make-believe time and it especially makes my heart happy when I see my 2 year old daughter in a princess dress with a firefighter hat and cowboy boots. So when I first browsed through the MANY books available by Carole P. Roman I was immediately drawn to "Can A Princess be A Firefighter?" It is definitely our most loved book among the four books we received from Carole P. Roman's assorted series.
We have been reading "Can A Princess be A Firefighter" daily to Kandy, I love that it speaks life into her. Not only the overall concept that you can be anything you set your mind to but also the small phrases that I like to repeat (and have her repeat) like "You are smart, talented, sweet and kind.” This book is such an empowering girl power book with relatable illustrations and dress up that any girl will love and be inspired by!
"Capain No Beard: An Imaginary Tail of a Pirate's Life" was another fantastic book by Carole P. Roman. It's part one of the ten Captain No Beard series. It is about a few kids dressing up and their imagination taking control. Karter and Krissy especially loved learning “shiver me timbers” is pirate for “oh my goodness”.
"Being a Captain is Hard Work" is the last book of the Captain No Beard series by Carole P. Roman. You can see the progress of the series and the growth of the Author and Publisher from book one through book ten, which progresses well with the growth of a reader. There was a couple new character in this book that wasn't in the first, we figured them out by process of elimination. It made us all the more intrigued to read all the books between the two! I really like that it incorporates big words like “stratocumulus” and explains it as well (dark dense clouds that mean rain). This fable shares the message that we have 2 ears and 1 mouth and we should listen twice as much as we speak. It repeats the message twice which is great because we can benefit from hearing it more often.
We also received "If You Were Me and Lived In Germany" by Carole P. Roman. This book is a part of the 25 book "If you were me and lived in” series which is geared toward elementary world cultures. Each book focuses on one country. Germany was a great choice for my family because I want them to learn the culture of their ancestors. This book is about a 15 minute read aloud and was great at showing geographics, pictures, drawings and informing on things like where you’d like to visit, what to eat or do for fun. I really appreciated the pronunciations being provided. We read this as a family and Cody was great at speaking the German words, he’s got that guttural accent down! We all learned something new in this book and it has us hoping to one day actually go visit!
My family loved these Carole P. Roman books, but don't just take our word for it other families from the Homeschool Review Crew reviewed a variety of her books too so be sure to check out their reviews by clicking on the banner.
