Cody Knows

Welcome Karen Sue, Linda, and Candace

http://www.guardianangelpublishing.com/cody.htm

Cody Knows, written by Karen Sue Wiesner, with Linda Derkez, is an intricate detailed picture book with few words that depict the life of a small toddler boy named Cody. The book is displayed for very young children, and takes a child through a day of waking, bathing, eating, romping, exploring, visiting, playing, and pretty much getting into everything this rambunctious happy toddler can dig his little curious self into.

 His Mom is on the go from morning till night doing her best to keep up with her baby. Cody likes books, his dad, his Grandma, yummy food, and finds comfort at the end of the day in his Mom’s lap.

 I think this book will hold the attention of small children ages 2 to 4 years of age, and would be a great book for 5 year olds to read along with a parent.  I recommend Cody Knows for anyone looking for a book to cuddle up with at the end of the day, or any time when you and your little bombardier need a break!  I give it ***** for an all around story and art experience for little tikes.

“This story follows one day in the life of little Cody. It begins at daybreak and ends

at bedtime. Most any child will be able to relate with the story of Cody—a wonderful

picture book for preschoolers. Simple words to follow and short sentences per

page so your child can read along with you. The illustrations are bright and

colorful...”~Huntress Reviews

Karen Sue Wiesner is the children’s book pen name of Karen Wiesner. When asked why this award-winning, multi genre author ventured into children’s books, Karen says, “For the reason I think most authors write children’s stories: My son Cody is an avid lover of books, like his parents. I wrote this book for him when he was just a baby, wanting to share what a unique, special child he is. Cody looks at the world in an unusual way that I hope will captivate others as much as it has my husband and I. Candy’s illustrations really bring out the single day of adventure we go through living with our son.” Karen is an accomplished author with 90 books published in the past 14 years, which have been nominated for and/or won 123 awards, and has 16 more titles under contract.

She taught elementary education, hearing impaired children, and later home-schooled her own children, leaving writing and illustrating to be kept “on a back burner”.
