My boy loves Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs

The boy is in kinder this year and reading!!! He loves books, but sometimes the higher-level books can be a little overwhelming. So I try to stick with easy to read books, like Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs by Eric Litwin and Tom Lichtenheld.

Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs is the first book in a series about the fun-lovin’ and guitar-strummin’ pup. It features a signature rhyme, repetition, and has a musical writing style with wild and witty illustrations. It’s easy to read in big bold letters and by the end of the book, you’ll come to know Groovy Joe, an unforgettable new character who embodies positivity, creativity, and kindness.
