"EPISODE 5 ISN'T A RAGATHA EPISO--"

So I just finished watching Episodes 4 and 5 of The Amazing Digital Circus for the third time because I’ve clearly given my life to this show and Gooseworx owns my soul. Genuinely, what phenomenal writing. I've seen mixed reception for episode five but I’m thrilled that the majority of the fandom can agree this episode was amazing. Because that means I can scream with all you FunnyBunny shippers and dedicated emotional wrecks alike.

Now. Let me get into why Episode 5 wasn’t just a Jax episode (though it very much was)—but why it was, at its core, Ragatha’s episode. This is gonna be long and laced with “am I overthinking this?” moments. Buckle up.

WHO IS RAGATHA?

When we first meet her in Episode One, she’s nice. Incredibly kind. Super peppy. But there's this teeny-tiny crack in that candy coating. She spirals, just a little, and we see a nervous, anxious edge slipping through her “positive vibes only” persona.

And that spiral? It’s not a one-time thing. It gets worse. The deeper you go into the series, the more you notice how her overbearing positivity feels less like optimism and more like a coping mechanism. A weaponized smile. She’s not just trying to cheer everyone up, she’s gaslighting herself into believing she has to be happy. She has to be likable. That it’s the only way she’ll be accepted.

And in the Digital Circus, where identity is shredded (like you forget your name for fuck's sakes) and everything’s performative? That’s not just sad...it’s devastating.

EPISODE 4: THE CRACKS BEGIN TO SHOW

Episode Four set the entire foundation. When Ragatha gets “stupid sauce” in her eyes and all her emotional filters drop, you finally see her. She stops curating how she’s perceived and just exists...and what comes out? She reminisces of her life (which gets confirmed in Episode 5). Gangle tries to warn her she might get hurt, and her response is almost eerie in how casually she brushes it off.

Sure, it could be a nod to Raggedy Ann and all that doll-abuse lore, but when you learn about Ragatha’s real past: abusive, narcissistic mother, high-society pressure cooker upbringing...that “hurt�� starts feeling very literal. Maybe this line wasn’t just random doll humor. Maybe it’s a whisper of childhood trauma, manifesting through a false smile.

And then comes the Gloink Queen. The way Ragatha lights up at the idea of a mother who genuinely cherishes every single one of her hundreds of children? I fucking felt that. It wasn’t just admiration; it was longing. Desperation. Like she never got that kind of love growing up, so the concept itself is intoxicating. It’s this quiet heartbreak that adds a whole new layer to her need for approval.

She hates Jax. Let’s be real. He antagonizes her constantly, pushes every one of her buttons (he literally threw her in a goddamn vat of boiling oil for fucks sakes). But the part that wrecks me? She doesn’t want him to hate her. Not because she likes him, but because anyone disliking her is unbearable. Being disliked means she failed. Means she’s unworthy. Means she’s alone.

That’s why her facade, this grinning, chipper armour? It's everything. And the more we see of her, the more we understand that it’s crumbling.

I NEED YOU ALL TO LOCK THIS SCENE INTO YOUR BRAINS, OKAY? Because this exact emotional thread gets replayed like a broken record all throughout Episode Five. It’s not just a one-off moment, it’s the theme. The cast knows Ragatha’s cheer is fake. And honestly? It makes sense. They’ve been stuck together for who-knows-how-long, and you learn a lot about someone in that kind of nightmare.

But here’s the thing: when someone keeps pushing toxic positivity, constantly trying to “cheer you up” without actually listening, it doesn’t help. It hurts. It makes the person reaching out feel like they’re talking to a wall. Ragatha so badly wants people to open up to her, but she’s terrified of doing the same in return, and that’s where the entire disconnect lies. She’s hyper-aware of how she’s perceived. Her self-image is a prison. And at the core of it all?

Rejection.

Her biggest, ugliest, most soul-deep fear. Because rejection leads to isolation. And isolation? Leads straight back to the kind of loneliness she probably drowned in as a child.

Now, you're probably wondering: why am I still going off about Episode Four when I promised this was a breakdown of Episode Five?

Because Episode Four is the breadcrumb trail. It's the soft warning. The writer’s subtle little “hey, pay attention to her” moment. It’s the appetizer. It preps us, emotionally and narratively, for the main course of Episode Five, where Ragatha's carefully-constructed image begins to crack and we finally, finally, start to understand the full scope of her trauma.

Let’s address the big criticism real quick: a lot of people think this was a Jax-centric episode. And I get it. Jax got depth, growth, actual backstory. But here’s my take: Jax and Ragatha are each other’s foils.

One is warm, soft-spoken, always smiling, but secretly repressing everything real.

The other is brash, rude, antagonistic—but when he opens up? He’s real. He’s genuine.

They’ve been clashing since Episode One, and their dynamic works because they’re mirrors: distorted, but parallel.

Why was using Jax as Ragatha’s foil so brilliant? Because it does two huge things. First, it finally shows us Jax as a person instead of just telling us he’s a dick with a smile. But more importantly?

It amplifies Ragatha.

A foil, by definition, is a character who highlights the traits of another character by contrasting with them. And what better way to show Ragatha’s entire internal collapse than by placing her beside someone who, while difficult and abrasive, actually manages to connect with someone else?

Because as Jax grows closer to Pomni, the very connection Ragatha has been chasing since Day One, it throws Ragatha’s failures into painful high-def. She’s tried everything. She’s been kind, supportive, the “good friend.” And yet, it’s not her Pomni opens up to. It’s not her Pomni laughs with.

And that is why Episode Five is a Ragatha episode. Maybe not in the obvious, center-stage way. But in the subtle, devastating unraveling that plays out just beneath the surface.

Now, let’s talk receipts. I’ve got observations, breakdowns, and repeat viewings of Episodes Four and Five loaded and ready.

I don’t know if it was a deliberate artistic choice or just an organic part of the scene composition, but I can’t not point out how telling it is that the characters are all paired off: Jax and Pomni, Kinger with Zooble and Gangle, and yet Ragatha? She’s standing off in the distance. Alone. Isolated. Visibly excluded from every natural dynamic.

And I really want to believe that was purposeful. A quiet visual cue for us, the audience, to understand not just the social dynamics of the group, but how deeply disconnected Ragatha truly is from the others.

Honestly, I think this was the moment her carefully held-together mask started to split. The start of the spiral. Go back to the earlier episodes and you’ll start noticing it: Ragatha drops a lot of sharp, snarky comments. Some subtle. Some cutting. Whether intentional or not, those little moments are emotional leaks. She drops her filter more often around Jax, which makes sense, she hates him. She doesn’t bother hiding it. But the fact that her snark surfaces at all tells us something: the mask is slipping.

Think about Episode One, when Ragatha spirals, it’s visceral. It’s raw and disturbing in a way the others’ breakdowns just… aren’t. Why? Because for Ragatha, cracking isn’t just about stress or fear. It’s about exposing something she’s worked so hard to hide: her real, “ugly,” human feelings. She’s repressed them for so long, forced herself to smile through it all, because she believes that if she isn’t likable, if she isn’t “good,” she’ll be abandoned.

And now? That bottle’s starting to shake.

I'll circle back to this moment when I dive into the bar scene later (because oof—there’s so much there), but let’s keep things chronological for now.

Right after Ragatha leaves, Jax drops a line on Pomni: “[She] is taking advantage of you.” And it hits especially hard because just before that, Gangle told Pomni she didn’t think Ragatha was genuine. That? That’s when the discomfort surrounding Ragatha starts to really take shape.

Here’s why I think that hit a nerve with the rest of the cast.

They are all constantly fighting for their sanity. For their identities. They’re trapped in this surreal, terrifying digital purgatory where reality is questionable at best and all they’ve got are each other. That’s it. Just a bunch of strangers trying not to fall apart or, worse, abstract.

And when you're in that space? Vulnerability becomes everything. And it’s risky.

Being vulnerable to the wrong person, someone who doesn’t reciprocate, or worse, uses your openness against you is traumatic. It teaches you to close up. To withdraw.

To stop trying.

Now imagine reaching out to someone like Ragatha, who seems supportive on the surface, who says the right things, but there’s a disconnect. You don’t feel like you’re being seen. You don’t feel safe. You don’t feel like you’re talking to someone who’s willing to meet you in the mess.

And when that happens? Of course they gravitate elsewhere. Of course they pair off, find comfort in each other, and leave her on the fringes.

What hurts the most, though, is this: Ragatha wants connection. She’s starving for it. But she doesn’t know how to give it back in a way that feels real. She’s so wrapped up in being “the nice one,” the peacemaker, the cheerful glue of the group, that she can’t drop the act—even when it’s pushing people away. Even when it’s exactly what’s isolating her.

She wants to be close. She just doesn’t know how to be vulnerable.

Now, the biggest lore drop of Ragatha's past, let's break this down:

Throughout the entire series so far, Ragatha always speaks with this carefully curated tone: gentle, friendly, overly polite. But every time she gets a moment alone to monologue? It always derails. Every time. Her words unravel, her tone falters, and what starts as “everything’s fine” ends with something much darker, much sadder.

And this scene? God. This one hurt. Because when she starts talking about her mother, it stops feeling like just another breakdown. It feels like the core of her trauma is being yanked out into the open. She’s clearly an adult. Had a life. A career. Probably responsibilities and routines. And yet, that wound from her mother is still festering: deep, raw, and most importantly?

Completely unresolved.

This is where you see her coping mechanisms in full force. Ragatha has this heartbreaking tendency to downplay her own pain. She’ll smile through it, make a light comment, move on like it doesn’t ache. But it does. And that habit? It sabotages her ability to connect with people in a real, vulnerable way. Because how can someone share mutual pain with you if you never admit to having any? If you can’t even be real with yourself?

Remember when she confessed she hates Jax, but she doesn’t want Jax to hate her? That moment says everything. That desperate need to be liked, even by someone who openly antagonizes her, speaks volumes about her internal wiring. She’s terrified of rejection. Of being disliked. Of being seen as not enough.

And this scene, to me, is one of the most heartbreaking moments in the show. Ragatha is caught in this awful limbo: she wants connection, deeply. She wants friendship, understanding, belonging. But the second she senses discomfort, awkwardness, even the slightest ripple of tension, she backpedals. She shrinks. She brushes it off with a laugh or a sugar-coated phrase. And that’s exactly why the others can’t reach her.

She’s surrounded by people and still completely alone.

This scene also confirms what we’ve suspected all along: her mother had impossibly high standards. That nothing Ragatha did was ever good enough. That she had to perform perfection just to maybe receive love. It was a transaction. "Be the perfect little girl, the perfect daughter, the perfect doll, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll earn affection."

So of course she acts like this now. Of course she wraps herself in forced smiles and gentle words. Because somewhere deep down, she still believes that if she slips, if she messes up, if she shows anything “ugly”...then no one will love her.

Jax was a grade A asshole for this one. No sugarcoating it. He knew how badly Ragatha wanted to be Pomni’s friend. He’s not clueless. So when he swooped in and started getting close to her? Of course it triggered Ragatha. You could practically see her flinch.

And that sting? It echoes through the rest of the episode five from that point onwards. Especially when they get to the ball game scene.

That was the moment Ragatha finally let some of that bottled-up frustration out. She flat-out called Jax out, asking why he was trying to influence Pomni into acting like some careless, insensitive jerk. And yeah, on the surface it seems like just another clash between the two of them, but if you look a little closer (and maybe I’m reaching this), there’s something deeper going on.

From earlier episodes, we’ve seen Ragatha has this habit of telling Pomni how she should feel. She does it in this oddly motherly tone, like she’s trying to guide her, but in a way that almost infantilizes her. In Episode Two, in the candy kingdom bit, Ragatha starts talking to Pomni like she’s a child and Pomni immediately shuts it down: “I’m not a kid.”

That wasn’t just sass.

That was a boundary.

And it clicked for me: Ragatha might be echoing her mother’s behavior here. That condescending tone disguised as “help.” The “cheer up, it’s not that bad” mindset. The insistence that things should be okay, instead of just lettingpeople feel. Maybe that’s all she ever knew. And now, she’s unknowingly replicating it.

So when she follows Pomni’s advice to “try being a jerk sometimes,” and it backfires, when Pomni looks at her, clearly uncomfortable, it hits Ragatha like a rock. That same feeling of rejection, all over again.

And did anyone else notice the glitch when she apologized? Because I sure as hell did. It was subtle, but holy fuck, please don't be the next abstraction!

Then came the "Pomni Saves the Day (Almost)" scene, when it’s her turn to bat. She asks Ragatha if she wants to take her place, to "redeem" herself from her earlier miss. And for just a second, Ragatha lights up. It’s this tiny flicker of hope. Maybe this is her chance. Maybe she can fix things.

Maybe she’s needed.

But then… the game was already over and they won before she had a chance to bat because their evil version is basically KO'd. She turns to Pomni and sees them.

Pomni and Jax. Laughing. Close. Connected.

And suddenly that hope? It deflates.

Just like in the stargazing scene, we get this physical distance motif again. Ragatha is always just far enough to see the connection—but never be part of it. And in that moment, you can see it on her face, this quiet, confused heartbreak. The kind of grief that doesn’t explode...it just sinks in. Like she’s trying to understand why her kindness, her effort, her presence was never enough. Why being “nice” only pushed Pomni further away.

That expression she gives, caught somewhere between confusion, disappointment, and slowly-processed loss? God, that got me. It wrecked me. Because in that moment, she’s not angry. She’s not dramatic.

She’s just... alone.

And then finally… the nail in the coffin. The moment where the silent divide between Pomni and Ragatha becomes undeniable. The moment the entire show has been quietly building toward since Episode One.

Ragatha, who has tried so hard to make Pomni smile. To be her rock. To forge a connection. She wants that closeness. She craves that intimacy. But instead, she watches as Pomni laughs, genuinely, mind you, and effortlessly at Jax’s antics. And the second Pomni notices Ragatha looking? Her smile drops. Instantly. That joy disappears, replaced by awkwardness, tension, that same guarded expression we’ve seen before.

And it says everything.

Pomni can’t be herself around Ragatha. She doesn’t feel safe doing so. She might think Ragatha is a “nice enough” person… but that’s it. That’s where the connection ends. She doesn’t let her guard down. Doesn’t let Ragatha in. Because Ragatha, in all her curated cheer, never really opens up either.

And then the show drives it home with brutal elegance: the group starts to drift off, one by one, naturally falling into their new little dynamics. And Ragatha? Left standing in the middle. Alone. Forgotten. No one turns to her. No one invites her. She’s just there.

For all the time she’s spent in the Digital Circus, Pomni managed to connect with everyone else. Even Jax. And that, right there, is pure devastation for me.

Because all Ragatha has ever known is people-pleasing. That’s how she survives. That’s what she was taught. Be the sunshine, be the good girl, be agreeable and comforting and helpful then you’ll be loved. Then you’ll be safe. But what happens when that mask doesn’t work? When it actually pushes people away instead of bringing them in?

She doesn’t know how to express her loneliness. She doesn’t know how to say, “I’m hurting too.” Because that’s not what was modeled for her. That’s not what her mother taught her.

And this...this right fucking here is why Gooseworx was so right when they said this was a Ragatha episode.

Because Ragatha’s character flaws, the heart of her tragedy, are brought into the light not by spotlighting her, but by quietly contrasting her with a pair of characters we never expected to bond: Jax and Pomni.

From the start, we’re fed this narrative: Jax is an asshole. He teases Pomni. He’s rude, smug, abrasive. And yet… Pomni starts to soften around him. She connects. She even laughs. And you start to wonder...why is he getting through to her when Ragatha can’t?

Because Jax, in his own messed-up way, gets real. He opens up. He admits things. He’s emotionally messy, but it’s genuine. And that rawness, that honesty, is something Ragatha can’t allow herself to show. So while Jax slowly reveals the depth beneath his snark, Ragatha clings to her role: the always-smiling, ever-positive comfort character.

And that contrast? It’s heartbreaking.

You see it at the very end. How alone she is. And the cruel twist? She’s probably the one who needs connection the most. But she’s so stuck in her pattern, so locked in that internalized belief that she has to perform to be loved, that she ends up isolating herself even further.

I can’t stop thinking about this: Ragatha feels like someone who’s spent her entire life just close enough to be seen, but never close enough to be reached. She’s the background character in her own life: present, smiling, helpful… and utterly alone.

And maybe the reason so many people felt like this episode was more about Jax than Ragatha is because we’re supposed to feel her slipping into the background. Just like the cast is starting to overlook her, we as the audience are starting to, too.

That slow fade?

It’s intentional.

Thank you for coming to my rant. I never done a character analysis before, but I just fucking love this series so much.

Explaining why I ship Caine x Pomni and Jax x Ragatha

(MY HONEST OPINION)

(Why I ship Caine x Pomni)

To be honest the reason I don’t think Jax and Pomni would be compatible is because they kind of have a toxic relationship due to Jax being a jerk to Pomni and Pomni would probably shout at Jax all the time. I mean to be honest I don’t really like the ship Funnybunny but I respect those who do ship it. Caine and Pomni on the other hand seems more compatible to me heres why! To be honest with you I’ve seen that Caine was no different from Jax however Caine seemed like he would be more compatible to Pomni now it isnt just because of Caine and Pomnis hight I mean while I do agree that most short people like other short people Caine and Pomni would probably like other short people but some people might argue that hight doesn’t really matter in relationships and I do agree with that as well but there’s more to why I ship Caine x Pomni despite them being a similar hight my other reason is that Caines an ai so it would make sense that Caines violence towards Pomni was probably just the way Caine was programmed and not intentional I mean sometimes artificial intelligence can sometimes glitch out a bit I mean I just think that if Caine just hurted everyone on purpose then otherwise what would his purpose be as ai otherwise??? I mean it would make sense that Caines violence towards others wasn’t his fault because all ais work on programming like everything they do works on programming so what would the purpose be otherwise??? This is why i think that Caine and Pomni are probably the most compatible in my opinion as despite they’re rocky relationship they could find ways around they’re problems as a couple even though they’re relation ship could seem a bit risky witch they would probably talk about they’re problems and fix them. Jax on the other hand is probably the main jerk as he would probably try to keep Pomni arguing where as Caine is just an energetic ringmaster who is an artificial intelligence who can have accidental accidents on hurting others.

(Why I ship Jax and Ragatha)

Now hear me out I know that both Jax and Ragatha both aren’t ais and Jax would probably prank Ragatha and hurt her on purpose however that’s not really the point and it doesn’t really matter or make they’re relationship toxic in my opinion and I have a good reason to why it would work out. To me it was confirmed that Jax kind of had a thing for Ragatha in episode one as he would give her dollface as a cute pet name not only that but Jax and Ragatha just kind of give me the vibe that they would probably find a way around they’re problems and arguments and would probably fix them together despite they’re arguments I mean couples can be unusual some might not get on more than others and that’s okay because most people who get together with they’re enemies probably talk through they’re problems and sort there problems out from time to time. Jax and Ragatha are also based of Raggedy An and Andy but wait hang on a minute aren’t Raggedy An and Andy siblings. Well… yes… however it was confirmed that Jax and Ragatha aren’t actaully siblings however they are both inspired by Raggedy An and Andy witch means that they would probably make a great couple version of the duo that would be cool. Jax and Ragatha are also nearly the same hight and that makes sense since other tall people like other tall people. I’m not saying that hight matters but most people probably choose to get together with people that are nearly the same hight as them selfs.

Also my opinion is that while I do agree that the moon does like Caine I don’t think it necessarily means that Caine feels the same way about her. I mean Caine himself was shown to find the moon a bit crazy and to feel uncomfortable around her.

Anyways this is just my opinion and others are free to express they’re opinions in the comments as long as they’re polite and they respect my opinions and other peoples ships.

Funnybunny is top tier Ragapom offers nothing for me and a lot of my impressions on it were from the post-ep 1 era where pomni was sometimes characterized as a squishy precious angel and although I like the idea of her struggling with being seen as an adult and mature while having childish interests, she was too infantilized in many depictions and I do not care for it. Ragatha is a lot messier than we originally gave her credit for. Maybe if we saw Pomni being the more emotionally confident one in that relationship I'd care more but as is I don't

Bunnydoll is kind of like jaxpom to me in how it ends up but I don't find Ragathas personality as fun to mash with Jaxs in a romantic way + pomni has the benefit of currently being the outsider to the group so her view of Jax isn't as set in stone. I think Ragatha coming to terms with relating to Jax in some regards (maybe how she views the others) would be fun but romance no imo

Showtime I 100% just don't fucking understand because Caine is not a character to me and I don't see what would interest Pomni romantically. Same for any Caine ship tbh? I just can't do it in my brain. Maybe Caine x kinger cuz old man yaoi / they're both kind of operating the same mentally imo but when Kinger is more aware it'd be sad. Like. Dramaa

I'm salty towards Funnygummy but similarly him being an NPC kind of kills the potential romantically for me. Otherwise I'm too loyal to jaxpom and post EP 2 was rough for me so I'm just not keen on it for reasons outside of its own merit. Maybe feels a little safe I guess, I don't find Gummigoos struggle to be particularly unique I guess.

Any other combos are less popular and I'm kind of chill on. Abstragedy is really nice because they compliment each other well but I think Zooble and gangle kind of fit well with anyone. Kinger I just don't like shipping in general because I perceive him as a different age bracket from everyone else. It's like if you started dating your friends older brother who you barely saw when you were 6. Like, idk. Not my vibe (also I'm sick of seeing kinger pom in non kingerpom tags).

I think that's most of them? ?? Yeah probably. Ragatha doesn't really get a lot of romantic action from my fics sorry girl

#i apologize for my distaste showing up in searches #also we need to find a more visibly legible tierlist

Lots of book blogs out there that are simply amazing! I love so many that I’ve stumbled across recently, my to be read list is growing out of control. I, myself have never wrote a review, but I think it may be something I want to work on.

This was the conversation I was having with myself yesterday, which led me to think ..what am I qualified to review? Children’s books! Having homeschooled all but 1 of my own and operated a home daycare and preschool for more than 20 years. We’ve managed to build a fairly extensive children’s library.

This sounded like fun! I decided I would make a top 10 list of my favorite picture books for preschoolers. I hope you enjoy…

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt By Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury Any book in my collection that I have had to either laminate or purchase more than once is definitely a hit, and I have had to do both with this one. We all stand and interact with this story, swishy swashy through the tall grass and splash splosh through the river…

We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.

Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site By Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld This story has been a hit with many of the boys in my program that love trucks and tractors. The story takes you through the end of a day on a construction site as all of the big pieces of equipment are done for the day(cement mixers, dump trucks, bulldozers and more come to life in this beautifully illustrated story.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar By Eric Carle If I had a nickel for every time I’ve read this one. There are so many great stories from Eric Carle, I wasn’t sure which to choose. Brown Bear, Brown Bear? or A House For Hermit Crab? I went with this one because the children are always fascinated by caterpillars and butterflies, and we have incorporated so many activities based off this title that it made the cut. The kids always say this line…

…But he was still hungry.

Go, Dog. Go! By P.D. Eastman Who doesn’t love a story about dogs on their way to a dog party? Is that a spoiler? I’m going to assume you have read this one a million times also. The kids always like to point out the one dog that is not sleeping on the bed(naughty doggie).

Ryan preferred Green Eggs and Ham over Go Dog. GO! So that was almost on the list.

The Pout, Pout Fish By Deborah Diesen This is a much newer title compared to many of the others(2013). What can be said about the adorably, sad pout, pout fish? He has the power to change how he feels! YES! I teach the kids this lesson every time we read it. The kids read this along with me each time…

Where the Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak

I grew up with this story myself and a few other Sendak books I remember from my childhood.

This is a timeless story of a boy in trouble, sent to his room with a great imagination. We have had wild rumpus’ in our daycare. We’ve roared our terrible roars and showed our terrible teeth! You can have a lot of fun pretending with this one. We usually get a conversation going about being sent to our bedroom when we are in trouble.

Sophie’s Squash By Pat Zietlow Miller and Anne Wilsdorf

This is also a newer title(2013). It was fall 2 years ago when I came across this story for my daycare. I decided to buy a dozen squash from the farm for all the children to take home and pretend that they had a new friend like Sophie had in the story.

This was a bigger hit than I had anticipated, and some of the kids went home and actually slept with their squash that night. So precious. If you haven’t had the chance to read this adorable story, it is a great title for the fall! We send home squash with the children every year now.

Pete The Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons By Eric Litwin and art by James Dean

The laid back, positive vibe this cool cat gives is hard to resist! Does Pete get mad when things go wrong? Goodness no! This and many of the other Pete the Cat titles are full of good advice for letting troubles roll on by.

We have created lots of activities in our program that relate to having a good attitude(in our behavior curriculum) and also with Pete’s colorful buttons! Pete and Ryan have the same approach to life… “it’s fine…” So Pete is Ryan’s favorite character.

Wide Mouthed Frog By Keith Faulkner

This is a less popular book than some of my others I’ve picked, but I have had to purchase it a second time so I thought it was worthy of a top 10 spot. This is a short and fun story of a wide mouth frog traveling through the jungle asking all the animals what type of food they like to eat. He finally comes to an alligator that loves wide mouthed frogs. It ends with a big SPLASH!

Room on the Broom By Julia Donaldson Fall is one of my favorite times of the year for many reasons, and one of them is Halloween. I love halloween activities with my kids and our preschool. This is my all time favorite Halloween book.

There are so many more that I was close to adding in here. Really it should have been a top 25 list for me. I will add that I have several children’s characters that we read the stories to constantly in our program. To name a few, we love anything about Dora, Maisy, Little Critter, Kipper, Froggy and Peppa. I also have a special place in my heart for PJ Funnybunny.

And a few titles that were borderline to making the list: Steam Train, Dream Train, Green Eggs and Ham, Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Goodnight Moon.

Tell me what would be your top 10 children’s books? Which titles did I miss? Thanks for checking out our post!
