The first novel I would like to share with you is Artful Etching: Kawaii. Charlie and I will use Artful Etching: Kawaii in our Art class. Teaching Charlie a new srtyle of Art.
I like how Artful Etching: Kawaii comes with a etching tool. There is a slot on the front of the novel which will to hold the pencil keeping everything in one place.
Cuteness is everywhere in Artful Etching: Kawaii! This Japanese cultural phenomenon, which emphasizes a childlike love for all things cute and charming, has spread across the world—and now you can create your own Kawaii scenes on the pages of this book.
By etching away the outlines in each of the ten boards with the included etching tool, you’ll reveal the bright, vibrant colors underneath. Then add as much detail as you want in order to create your own unique designs.
An introductory section describes how to etch the scenes for the best results, and examples of finished pieces are included for reference.Once we are done we can use the pictures to decorate our classroom.
While using Artful Etching: Kawaii we will be able to study Japanese Art which will lead to reading and new Vocabulary words for our Language Arts Class. As well as teaching Charlie how to use a pencil to draw his Art pieces with.

The second novel I would like to share with you is Spiroglyphics: Animals. I couldn’t wait to share Spiroglyphics: Animals with Charlie because it contains two of Charlie’s favorite features. Art and Animals. Charlie says what more do you need?
I can’t wait to see Charlie’s face when he begins coloring the circles and animals merge from the pictures inside Spiroglyphics: Animals. Before you ask no, I am not going to tell David or Charlie that there is animals inside the picture.
Not only will we be able to use Spiroglyphics: Animals in Art but during our Studies of Animals. As will as Vocabulary. I can’t wait to see if Charlie trys to create his own Spiroglyphics: Animals.
Spiroglyphics: Animals features a new type of mind-bending graphic puzzle from Thomas Pavitte, best-selling author of the 1000 Dot-to-Dot and Querkles series.
At first, all you see are simple spirals. But when you look a little closer and start to color between the lines, you’ll see your favorite animals take shape! When you’re finished, you’ll have a masterpiece worthy of being framed on your wall.
This exotic collection of 20 puzzles includes a fox, an alpaca, an eagle, a horse, a rabbit, a tiger, a gorilla, a koala, a giraffe, and many more. Grab your markers and transform a set of simple lines into an amazing work of art!
For music class we can use Spiroglyphics: Music Icons
Extremely Cute: Sticker Animals
If you or your children love animals or Stickers then you will love my next novel Extremely Cute: Sticker Animals. I have to make sure Charlie doesn’t use the stickers for things other than the book.
Or that Charlie will use the stickers to to create a Art poster for his room which Charlie would do. I could even see Charlie using the stickers on letters he writes to his friends.

I can’t wait to purchase Extreme Stickering Day of the Dead for Charlie who likes Skeletons along with David. Then for Lily I can’t wait to get Extreme Stickering Unicorns.
Thunder Bay Press, PRPG’s first imprint, published its first title in 1990. Silver Dolphin Books quickly followed. In 2000, PRPG purchased the best-selling Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series and created Portable Press as an imprint to house this list. Canterbury Classics was launched in 2011 and Studio Fun International joined the family in 2016.
Don’t forget moms or dads who may be teaching our children this year. They deserve to be pampered as well, Which is why I would like to purchase Rainbow Satin Journal for myself.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and Dacids Cates
