Perfect Picture Book by post Swap!!!

More than one month ago we signed up on a Children's Picture Book Swap that Zoe at Playing by the Book hosted. The partners were assigned and we were matched with a great family at Spain….yupi!!!! It was soooooo excited!

Here is what we sent them: The story of Myrtle Marie by Carolyn Graham and illustrated by John Himmelman.

The story is a poem. Myrtle Marie is a huge turtle that a boy found on the beach. They play, dance and becomes friends, so they wanna be together and goes to live with him. Day passed and she started feeling sad: she misses her mom and dad. The boy, showing that a real friend just want you to be happy, take her back with her family. However, they know that there is somebody thinking about each other some place out there!

My daughter loves the pictures, see the turtle and the other characters and pictures. Also, she loves every animal, and, for hence, turtles!

It is a good story that teach about friendship, love and feelings….and as my partner told me….why sometimes it is hard to have pets….”they would miss their family”….

Here is Pinky very excited sending the package from USA directly to Spain!

You can bet she was excited!

So, after almost two weeks….I received an email confirmation of the package from my swap partner!!! Inside the envelope they found the book and some turtle pictures, a turtle parts of the body picture and a postcard….

Myrtle Marie made it to Spain!!!

So, what did we receive???

This is such a wonderful picture book with lots of PICTURES, for sure. There are plenty of details in EVERY page….and there are small balloons with conversations between characters….also…our favorite one….sometimes there are hidden objects or characters on the pages.

The story is about a character called Mouk, which leaves his friends and heads off on a tour of the world. Every page shows his great adventures in the different cities he visits with pictures of cultural characteristics, objects and food. He travels to Tokyo; Kangaroo Island, Australia; Sambava, Madagascar; Hydra, Greece; Lake Titicaca, Peru; New York and others. He always writes a letter to his friends telling his adventures. And the best part are the STICKERS…You can re-use them and move them from page to page.
