He likes granola. (So does his dad.)

Rich Davis, that is, and his dad. I don’t know his dad’s name. I just know he had a birthday recently.

Rich is the author of Gabe’s favorite book . . . that I can recite in my sleep.

Firefighters to the Rescue” target=”_blank”>

I didn’t realize that until . . . well, until I contacted Rich a few ~~days~~ months ago. We did an exchange . . . some granola for a Pick and Draw game . . . we bartered. I felt like I was back in India. It was great.

Firefighters to the Rescueis a very cool book. It isn’t so much the writing that we like in this book, but the pictures.

Have you ever noticed that when you talk about a book, you typically only mention the author? No one remembers the illustrator, unless you are reading an Eric Carle book.

It’s hard to NOT notice Rich’s work.

In the case of Firefighters to the Rescue, I honestly don’t know the author. Sorry author. Rich really shines in this book.

Who is Rich Davis?

He is also the creator of a very cool card game. A game that has really helped my 4 year old become aware of body parts. Not that he didn’t already know where his legs, arms, eyes, and hair were.

And where farts come from. {Ahem.}

But he never drew them until this game.

Pick and Draw.

Which . . . this body awareness has really helped him with our Bible lessons . . . and our Bible lessons are full of drawing . . . Stick Figure drawing.

Anyhow, with Pick and Draw, you have 5 piles. A pile of faces, noses, eyes, hair, and mouths.

When it is your turn (you can also play alone), you turn over a fresh body part. (Starting with the face.)

Draw it.

Work your way through the other body parts to create a cartoon character.

Easy. Fun. Great tool to throw into your purse or diaper bag. Fabulous for workboxes.
