Annie Mouse Meets a New Friend by Anne M. Slanina

'Annie could not believe her ears! How could they even THINK about leaving Billy here like this? She was so angry with Mommy and Daddy. This was a beautiful way to explain going to the hospital without it being scary or frightening. It will be useful at some point in a child's life. I would highly recommend this book to all parents whether the story pertains to the family or not. Sometimes we forget what it is like to be young and not understand things that happen in life. This is also a great teaching manual for parents to learn how to talk to their children about sickness and operations. The art work is so amazing that it captures your attention and pulls you in with the heartwarming storyline. It is done in an easy, comprehend able entertaining way that kids won't even realize this is an educational book. She is a Route 66 enthusiast and personally took all of the photographs included in Annie Mouse's Route 66 Adventure.īaby Brother goes to the hospital is a touching story that is a good introduction on going to the hospital for young children.

Her hobbies include playing both the hammered and mountain dulcimers and traveling. She wants parents to know that in today's technological world, young children need assistance understanding the world around them. She encourages parents and teachers to read books WITH children to gain insight into how children think and feel, help them build empathy, and guide them into working through life's every day challenges. Her books are written from the perspective of young children, drawing on her personal experiences as a mother, educator, and Route 66 traveler. She specializes in social-emotional growth and development(bibliotherapy). She is a professor of early childhood education at Slippery Rock University.
