Fun Freetime: Little Elliot Big City

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

Little Elliot Big City is a delightful little book and great for any child who's ever felt out of place. Little Elliot leads a quiet life in the busy, bustling city. Mike Curato has combined a charming story with artistic illustrations to make a story that pleased both of my kids - especially Elliot's discovery at the end. I really loved the illustration style - they're beautiful pictures, full of color, yet somewhat muted so they don't distract from the story. Plus, the story is a good way to talk to kids about sense of self, and about discovering those with whom they share a common connection. The book's website has a downloadable activity kit for parents and educators as well!
