Charlie is so silly he saw The Arguers sitting on my desk this morning and wanted to know if the Author had written a book about our family With my brother her now we’ve all been walking on Egg shells and more arguments has been happening.
I told Charlie know but The Arguers would have been a perfect addition to our #Homeschool Classes when he was Homeschooling. With #backtoschool here I hope you take the time to check out The Arguers to share with your students.
David and Charlie enjoyed the story a lot. I loved the cover of the book with the little old Lady on the front of the book with her Rose Bushes. I wish my Roses looked like her Roses and my Roses were the pretty pink color she has.
In the book the first argument was over a brush and comb. That has happened in my home as well. How about your home? With everyone arguing the King and Queen decides to hold a contest to see who is the best at arguing.
How will they choose a winner if everyone is arguing? On the day of the contest no, one came because they were two busy arguing and no, one heard the Queen. Isn’t that crazy? There was no, beginning so they couldn’t be a end. Could there?
Then there was a Fire in the Kings Beard. To find out what happens in this fun Fairy Tale you will need to pick up a copy The Arguers of to read to your children of all ages day or night. Be prepared for lots of laughter and questions from your children
. If your #Homeschooling set up a Lesson Plan on Fairy tales and make sure you include The Arguers by Corinna Luyken (Author, Illustrator). Then if you have the time and opportunity check out her other books here.
About the book: The Arguers by Corinna Luyken (Author, Illustrator)
A delightfully preposterous and original fairy tale about a community that forgets how to get along, by the celebrated creator of The Book of Mistakes
The first argument was over a brush and a comb, and which would be better for taking a tangle out of the king’s beard. Next came the argument over letters, and then over spoons . . . and soon they argued all the time, and no one could remember when the arguing had started or over what or by whom. They only knew that they had always argued, and that they did it well. Very, very well.
And so it was that the king and queen decided to hold a contest to choose the very best arguer in the land. But what will happen when everyone is so busy arguing that they can’t even hear the queen announce the start of the contest?
