I Know A Lot! (Empowerment Series) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
This third book in Stephen Krensky and Sara Gillingham’s empowerment series celebrates the feats of growing out of toddlerhood with increased knowledge. Whether comparing heavy rocks to lighter flowers, or noting that the sunlight delineates the day from the night, Krensky and Gillingham acknowledge the “small wins” of understanding the world just a little bit more. Young children and their parents will revel in the uplifting text and boldly colored retro-fresh illustrations. Praise for I Know a Lot "This appealingly illustrated, confidence-boosting board book will inspire little ones to think of—and perhaps catalog aloud—all of the important things they already know about their world." —Kirkus Reviews "The limited primary color scheme and preponderance of simple shapes bolster the idea of kids mastering the basics." —Publishers Weekly "Readers will respond to the child’s confidence by being proud of their own understanding of the world. This is the third of this team’s empowerment titles, but it is fully successful as a stand-alone." —School Library Journal "Sara Gillingham’s colorful pictures, which, with their occasional offsets, look like hand-made prints, show the girl in the process of these and other discoveries: playing outdoors, sledding with friends and standing behind her father at the stove." —The New York Times "From the moment she opened I Know a Lot, she was hooked! Turned out, that was her gateway into being completely obsessed with reading." —The Huffington Post

A friend in childhood development gave my 1-1/2 year olds one of the first books in this series, I Can Do It Myself!, and as a reader and writer I immediately fell in love with Stephen Krensky's writing. He does more than you can image in two spreads of one simple sentence each. As a parent, I love the simple ways in which the book recognizes and celebrates a child's accomplishments.Although we have and greatly enjoy all three books, I KNOW A LOT may be my favorite so far (I hope there are more!). The writing truly is beautiful and surprising which makes it incredibly enjoyable to read as a grownup. Many books for the toddler set contain rhymes which can make for repetitive ideas and words. Stephen choses to focus on elements of childhood not always called out in a book, but certainly relevant and recognized. "I know rocks are heavy and flowers are light" - so crazy beautiful, right?!PLUS, I love the dad featured in I KNOW A LOT. Our now 2-1/2 year old girls love their dad, and get a lot of care and support from their dad, and it is wonderful to finally see this represented in a regular old book that is clearly about the child, as opposed to seeing a dad in a book marketed for Father's Day.Our girls love the book too, love exploring the gorgeous and unique drawings, and love saying that YES, I KNOW THAT, TOO or YES, I CAN DO THAT, TOO! as we follow along with the main character's accomplishments.On a more mundane level, these books stand up, construction-wise! My girls wreck havoc on all of their books, often shredding the covers, pulling the paper off the board, but these Appleseed books are stronger than they!This is a series of book that I confidently give as birthday presents. They are beautiful in words and images, memorable in theme, and incredibly well made!
Great illustrations, empowering message, and a perfect addition to any toddler's bookshelf. I love to buy books from the Empowerment Series for birthday presents. Can't go wrong with these positive messages.
My daughter is a huge fan of this series!!! I Know A Lot is another big hit by this author/illustrator duo. The storyline is simple, supportive, encouraging, and fun. The writing has a nice cadence so it is a fun read for those reading aloud to smaller children. There are not too many words on each page which I think is great for infants and toddlers who are eager page turners. The language offers a great balance of a pleasing rhythm, interesting concepts, and words on the simpler side to allow early readers to practice their new skills. The illustrations are esthetically pleasing and boldly interesting... suitable for newborns to adults. I Know A Lot is a great addition to the Empowerment Series as well as being a great book on its own.
Fantastic book for toddlers. I ADORE the illustrations. They are simple and bold and little ones can easily follow along. Reading this to the children in my preschool is a joy. Even the children who are not prone to pay attention to books for long are engaged with this book and others in the series. Start reading to your children young and use books like these. Little ones are drawn to the illustrations and the story is simple and short. Perfect!
Excellent book! Highly recommend for kids under 5. Love that the main character is a a smart girl, who happens to be black. Does have an emoji with heart eyes? I'm in love! Excellent illustrations.
I own the other two books in this series and love them, so I was excited to buy this one as well. The pages are colorful and fun to look at while the message is simple and sweet. The read nicely and rhyme without trying too hard.
I got these for my little niece! She loves them. If you have a little one I highly recommend them. They have beautiful illustrations. The sentences are simple so they are perfect to grow with your child as they learn to read. And they are empowering.
The toddlers in our child care center love this book. The illustrations are very appealing, it has interesting content that is easy to expand upon when attention spans permit, yet is short enough to engage those who want to sit for just a moment or two!
