Nannette's Baguette - By Mo Willems - Read Aloud - Bedtime Story

Today is the day Nanette gets to get the baguette! Is she set? YOU BET!
Mo Willems’ hilarious new picture book, Nanette’s Baguette, follows our plucky heroine on her first big solo trip to the bakery. But will Nanette get the baguette from baker Juliette? Or will Nanette soon be beset with regret? Set in a meticulously handcrafted-paper-modeled French village, the uniquely vibrant laugh-out-loud world of Nanette’s Baguette may be Mo’s best creation yet. Get set to krack into an irresistible tale you won’t soon forget!

This is a good story for young readers. The cadence of the words makes for a distinct style and the collages of 2D paper art makes it pretty interesting to look at.

This story exposes young children to the concept of making mistakes, being honest about what you did that was wrong, and how good it feels to be forgiven. Children need to learn that we all make mistakes from time to time. It can make us feel terrible. But someone who loves us will comfort us and help us smile again.

I hope your children have as much fun listening to this book as I did reading it!
