I’m delighted to be on the blog tour for this fabulous children’s book, the first children’s book to be reviewed by Over The Rainbow Book Blog!
Rocky Rock’s And The Colourful Socks is available to buy in ebook and paperback Here.
Book Description:
Can you help Rocky Rocks find his socks? If you can see, you must tell me, what colour sock you can see? I’ll give you a clue, it rhymes with bed, could it be the colour… Rocky Rocks and the Colour Socks is a fun and interactive way of learning through rhyme by Seniha Slowinski. Illustrations by Nick Roberts.
My Review:
Rocky Rocks is a very fun, cute and educational children’s book which can help children learn their colours. The reader is taken through the house, visiting the different rooms to try to find a sock of a particular colour.
The story is told in a gentle, easy rhyme with makes it very easy for children to follow. My eldest is four and he really enjoyed guessing what colour sock we were finding from the rhymes. The gorgeous illustrations that accompany them provide lots of fun whilst trying to find the missing sock from clues given in the rhyme. This also gives lots of opportunities to help the children develop their vocabulary and important describing words like under or on. We had great fun trying to find other objects in the rooms as each room is filled with lots of fun things to find.
My children absolutely loved this book and it has become a firm favourite in our house. My eldest spends ages looking at it himself enjoying the pictures, as he can’t read much yet. He especially liked the picture of the real Rocky and makes up lots of stories about him.
I really hope there are going to be more stories of Rocky’s adventures as I think they will be a favourite with pre-school children everywhere.
Huge thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
About The Author:
Hi my name is Seniha Slowinski
And I am really excited about my project please read on to find out why!
My Rocky books are aimed at children, starting from pre-school age upwards and are inspired by my dog (the ‘real’ Rocky) with all the cute and funny things that he does and the children that I taught at Arnott pre-school in Thamesmead.
Teaching children dance at pre school age is very different to teaching older children or adults as they have a shorter attention span and get distracted easily! For this reason I would break up the session with various tasks including story time!
Whilst reading I was not captivating the attention of the little ones and the story was not engaging enough to keep the children interested!
Which is when I came up with the idea to get the children involved!
The books are about discovering and learning by following the character Rocky on his journey, which involves learning about significant things in life such as colours, learning to count and identifying things that their parents, carers or guardians may do on an everyday basis, such as shopping, going to the park, to the gym etc.
Some of the books involve interactive aspects and questioning that enables the children to participate and respond whilst others may have a learning message and factual information.
The books are written using rhymes which are repetitive and make it fun for the child/children to gain a more enjoyable experience.
Some of the stories are based on true events that Rocky has experienced such as visiting the sights of London, boxing, going to the park and training.
