Book recommendation: Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem

Buy it: Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem

Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem (By Mac Barnett) – If you’re tired of reminding your children to clean their room or eat their vegetables, this is the book for you. When Billy Twitters’ parents grow tired of these daily reminders, they threaten to get him a blue whale. And they soon make good on their threat. Billy is told that the blue whale is all his responsibility. He drags the whale behind him on his bike to school, crams him into his classroom and discovers that taking care of a whale is a lot of hard (and smelly) work. My 5-year-old daughter loved this story and the pictures of Billy with his enormous whale. It’s a fun book to remind children that they should listen to their parents.

The book recommendations included on this website are books that my daughter Ally, now age 5, have read and enjoyed together. I recommend the books that stand out to me as excellent children’s books for writing, illustrations, originality, story and characters. Ally and I hope you enjoy them too!
