I would like to share a new children’s book which is the perfect gift for children going back-to school soon I Can Open It for You by Shinsuke Yoshitake (Author) which you will find in our Back-to-School Guide 2023 along with this review. In exchange for a copy of this book our family was blessed with thanks to ChronicleBooks.com
Charlie thought I should let you know the main color to the cover of the book is orange. Charlie isn’t too crazy about, but Charlie said the title of the book and the little bo on the cover of the book drew him. Making this a must-read book for Charlie and me. Don’t you like his red Overal If Suzzie where she would have wanted them. How about you?
Charlie and I enjoyed seeing what the child would learn to open as he gets bigger But also how he has his parents to help him. Like the little boy there is times I can’t open things and have to ask for help. Or for people to hand me things I can’t reach and unlike the boy I will not be able to get taller while he will get stronger.
Charlie enjoyed seeing how the dad showed the young boy how they can open things together including the dad’s mouth with a Cookie. I don’t know about you, but I would open my mouth for a Cookie or two or three. How about you? In the meantime, you should check out this book as soon as possible and pick up copies for all the children you know s a back-to- school gift not only for them but for teachers and librarians.
About:
From acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake comes a humorous picture book about the empowering possibilities of growing up and a child’s imagination!
Akira has a problem: He is too small to open packages by himself. He still needs grown-ups to help him.
But one day, perhaps one day soon, he’ll be able to open so many things without anyone’s help—and not just packages. When that time comes, he’ll make amazing discoveries and maybe even save the day with his new skills. There is so much to look forward to!
With humor and wit, acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake explores a child’s feelings about growing up: the push and pull of relying on parents while striving to learn and do things by oneself. The youngest of readers will relate, while discovering the many ways that they can open up exciting new experiences at this very moment!
