      My experience reading a book to the toddlers for the first time was challenging and a little fun. The book I had choose to read to the toddlers was called "NO, David”, why I had choose this book was the children loved this book and wanted me to read this book to them. The book was great for the children because it had simple and less text for the children to read. The illustration in the book was in detailed were the children could understand what was happening in the picture and what David was doing. When I was reading the book I would stop on stop on every page and have conservation with the children about that page and expand in detailed to the children what David would be doing. Reading this book to the toddlers for the first time was challenging as I had said before because you have to make sure the children are interested in the book, you the reader is reading the book with enthusiasm and expression, and it is age appropriate for the children. It was a great start reading the book and throughout this course I was introduced to many of the children books which can be useful in my life.

       In this journal I will talk about the baby's first book I made. I made my baby's first book with a partner because we were able to make it with a partner. The book we made was called "The Colours of a Rainbow". While making this book I had in mind that we were suppose to make a baby's first book, it should be safe for the children and it should be age appropriate. When we were working on the book we had decided how to put the book together. When we were making the book it was not easy making it because we went through challenges while making this book.  The children book we made had simple words, textures on the pictures and it was colorful. The book was designed with fabric and paper which was safe for the baby's to read. In the book we had mentioned the 7 colors of the rainbow and fruits to go with the color; the children will learn the basic colours and the basic fruits. It was a great experience making a baby first book because I learned many things while making this book and how a children book should be made.

      The bookstore I went to visit was called Mabel's Fable's. The bookstore was located at Mount Pleasant Road. I felt that the bookstore was a nice welcoming and calm place. This was because the way they had designed and laid out the books in the store. To me I thought that this bookstore was great for children to visit with their parents because this was more a children's and young adults’ bookstore. I took my little sister with me when I went to the bookstore so she can have a wonderful experience as well. The bookstore me realize the wonderful books they are for children. One of the things that made me amazed was how they organized the children's books. They arranged the books from ages 0-6 years of age, so each age group had a lamp on it that had the number of the age on it. The bookstore had 2 levels; the lower level was for children 0-6 years and the upper level was for young adults. I thought that this was a great experience to explorer the bookstore; other bookstores don’t have the same experience as this one did.
