All boys love anything gross no, matter what age they are. Add a dog ad men and boys are in Hog-heaven. Which is why I’ m excited to share G is for Gross by Greg Paprocki a BabyLit Book a Gibbs Smith Books. I received in exchange for this review.
I sat G is for Gross on Charlie’s desk last night for Charlie to share with his dad when he got home from work. Letting Charlie know this was what I wanted Charlie to read in his Homeschool Reading Class. I went back downstairs and began to clean the kitchen. Charlie walked up beside me and said mom look at the Dog on here. Would you want him?
I told Charlie I didn’t think so because just look at the mess he created in the house and how everything had slobber on it. We would have to clean it all and I wouldn’t want to touch that stuff. Charlie said he didn’t either, but we could get the Dog and Dad could clean up after him. Problem is David isn’t home a lot of the time.
G is for Gross s a book I knew Charlie could relate to because as a boy he loves anything that is gross. Charlie couldn’t wait to share this book with my nephews Jason and Joe. Charlie is teaching Joe his ABC’s and G is for Gross is the perfect book to use. Although I don’t condone teaching children about boogers because knowing Joe he will torment his sisters with them and yes, they are gross.
A is for algae and Charlie had to explain to Jow wat this is which is a teaching moment and something Charlie can study in his Homeschool Science Class. C is for clogged and no, I don’t want a clogged toilet or D a dirty diaper. Do you? E is for ew and that can be the slobbery kisses from our Dogs.
F is for fart. Please, don’t tell Charlie or David this because they think it’s fun to fart for, no reason. They stink so bad I have to leave the house. Are yur men like this as well? H is for hairball, and we don’t have a Cat, so Charlie hasn’t had to deal with a hairball unless it’s the hair his dad is losing and leaves in the sink or shower. Which takes us back to e and eww.
L is for Leeches, and I want nothing to do with that. P is for poop, and we do enough of that and end up with enough for our dogs. Please don’t remind us of poop. V is for vomit and please don’t vomit because I don’t want to clean it up. Do you. Then there is z and no, I am not going to tell you what z stands for.
You need to pick up your own copy of G is for Gross to find out. G is for Gross is a board book for younger children to teach them their alphabet. But older boys will have fun looking at all the gross things. Charlie and I will be using each of the letters in our Language Arts Class to create stories for our Creative Writing Class. Would you like to join us and share a story or two with us.
