Kermit the Hermit has a huge collection of things. Will he ever give up his treasure to help anyone else? #readaloudbooksforkids #kidlit #bedtimestories #kids #kidsvideo #learntoread #childrensbooks #kidslearningvideos #kidsstories #readalong #TGABS #cartoonanimals #booktuber This is a wonderful story that takes children on a wild adventure from the mayhem of seagulls on the bay to the struggles of crabs in the tide pools, the massive collection Kermit hides in his castle in the rocks, to fishing and beach combing across the sand dunes, as well as discovering shipwrecks and treasure in the deep ocean where the sharks are, all the way up to flying high through the air above the whole expanse. It's a beautifully illustrated story well told, that I hope you and your children will enjoy over and over again. This is a Bill Peet storybook for children about sea creatures at the beach in Monterey Bay. Perhaps you've visited the waterfront or an aquarium and seen some of the animals in this picture book. It's a tale about a terribly selfish crab who learns to be generous and friendly after a harrowing experience. He fights with seagulls for his food and collection items, but finally tangles with a dog and after pinching his nose, the dog decides to bury him in the sand for good. But a boy comes along and rescues him. This makes Kermit want to pay the boy back somehow but he doesn't think any of the objects in his collection would be suitable for a boy. He tries to help the boy catch big fish, but the halibut he finds is so huge, the line snaps, and Kermit is hauled out to the deep ocean where he sinks down to a shipwreck of an old treasure fleet. He's attacked by a blue shark and hides inside a chest filled with gold coins. After the shark gets tired of bruising his nose and leaves, Kermit decides to smuggle the treasure back to his castle in the rocks two gold coins at a time, one in each claw. He makes the trip over and over again till he stashes all of it in his cave. Then with the help of a pelican, he flies the gold to the boy's house and drops it down the stove pipe one coin at a time. The family never discovers their benefactor, but are very grateful. They use the money from the treasure to buy a TV set and dolls for the girl and bikes for the boys, then they wisely save the rest of the money. If you look on Amazon, this book will cost you $10, but at Thrift Books, you can find copies for half that: I started using Thrift Books to purchase older books I can't find in their original printings anymore, but they have excellent deals on good-condition books that allow a family to build out their home bookshelf without breaking the bank. I'm not sponsored by them. I'm just a fan of used books that come in less time than the shipping estimate tells me. I recommend them as a good source.

Reading came pretty easily to me as a young boy, but my brothers didn't have such an easy time, mostly because the books they were made to read at school weren't interesting to them. I want to build out a catalog of videos covering books that young boys and girls can enjoy so that their interest in practicing reading grows. It's such a fundamental skill for life to be able to read and write and think and empathize and comprehend. I feel like hearing stories is the very beginning of that fire of learning.
