Not Another Rainy Day





This book tells how Kayleigh is sad because she cannot go outside and play because it is raining. Mom finds things for her to do inside all day while it is raining. Kayleigh can only hope that the sun will come out tomorrow so she can go outside and play.
 
This book is packed with beautiful illustrations. It is also very educational. It teaches children why the rain is important in the spring time to help the grass, trees, and flowers grow. It is a  great book to read this spring while being stuck inside the house all day during the spring showers!

Tadeo Turtle

 
This book tells the story of how Tadeo the turtle meets a squirrel one day. He cannot play with the squirrel because it is too fast and climbs trees. The poor turtle has a shell on his back and cannot run, jump, or climb trees with the squirrel. He dreams his shell falls off so he can play. As he dreams, he meets a cat that chases him into the river. He wants his shell back so bad! When he wakes up, he is glad it was just a dream and knows God made him to live in a shell for a reason, to protect him!
 
This book is so cute! I love how it rhymes! Rhyming books are my favorite. It is well written and carries a great message inside it for children. All children will be comforted by this book. It teaches them to know that God made each and every one of them the way they are for a reason! I  really love the water color illustrations! They are really pretty! This book also has a few fun activities at the end for children to do. I recommend this book to all children!

The Child of Dawn





This Author tells it all, deeply in this story. She tells how her husband betrays her so she finds someone new. They get married and have a baby together. The Author tells how her previous daughter had passed away from measles at a very young age because she had a fever when she was supposed to get her shot. The Author made sure to get her son all his shots on time.
Then the story goes to tell how the Author, her husband, and her child's daycare center notice her son is behind the other children in learning. After many  months and many tests later, the Author and husband finally find out that their son has been diagnosed with Autism. The rest of the story tells how they get help for the child.
I really do recommend this book to everyone. I really enjoyed this story. I really feel for the Author that wrote it. It is a great story to teach people about Autism. Since Autism is new, people may have heard about it, but may not know what Autism actually is. People who don’t have kids should read it so they understand why kids with Autism do not learn the same as their kids.
 

Dewey The Dewdrop

 
This book tells how Dewey was born. He awoke on top of an old farmhouse rooftop. He starts to cry because he doesn't know who or what he is. He meets Dewlightful and she tells him that it is ok to be scared. She tells him that he is loved and will find out what he is soon as she evaporates. 
 
The next morning, Dewey falls off onto a flower. As the sun comes out, he sees other dewdrops evaporating. He meets Dewlila and she tells him what he is. They all evaporate together into the clouds and celebrate being home.
 
This is a very sweet book. My review doesn't do this book justice. I left out all the sweet parts so you will have to read it to see just how sweet and heartwarming this book really is!
 
This book also teaches children about evaporation, so that's a plus! I recommend this book to everyone with young children. I really believe that they will enjoy this book!
 

Mia's Quest For Courage

 
This is my favorite children's book right now. I absolutely love it! The writing is wonderful. It rhymes and flows like it's written in poetry form. The illustrations are also beautiful!
 
This book tells the story of how Mia is scared of the dark. This book will teach children how to overcome their fear of the dark and it will encourage them not to be scared of the dark anymore.
 
In this book, the mother sings her a song to help Mia overcome her fear. Mia's mom teaches her that courage is inside of her and to use it to overcome her fear. She falls asleep and dreams she flies to Cloud City. She meets a Dino mother that lost her children. Mia's courage grows as she sings her mothers song to help the Dino find her children.
 
You must read this book to see if Mia still has her courage when she wakes up and to know if she ever sleeps in her own bed by herself. I love this book and I just know you will too!

Tree Lord Oracle's

 
This book starts of telling how Arekel was away from her village in the mountains, saw the beast called Valkimpre, and started running from it. A man, that doesn’t appear to be good, saves her.  The villagers say the beast has never lost one and will not stop until he has her. They kick our out of the village to keep the beast from coming in to take any woman in search for her. The man finds her and keeps her. He won’t let the beast kill her since she is the “chosen one.” I shall say no more though; I don’t want to give the whole story away!
I loved this book! I had no intention of reading it all in one sitting! As soon as I started reading it, I could not stop. I flipped page after page, and before I knew it, I was done! This book is very descriptive, well written, and I really enjoyed it! It reminds me of Beauty & The Beast when The Beast lets Bell out of the tower and tells her she can’t go into certain parts of the room and she must never leave because she is his now. I highly recommend this book to everyone looking for a sweet supernatural tale!

Always Be Us Three

 
Beware! This story may bring a tear to your eye! Especially those who's parents did divorce.
 
This is a short story of a Mother and Father that are getting a divorce.  Mom explains it very well to the Son that even though Mom and Dad will not live together anymore, they will still always be a family. Mom explains that the Son will now have two houses to live in. Sometimes he will stay at Moms and other times with Dad.
 
This is a great book for any child who's Mom and Dad are going through a divorce. I recommend this book to help explain to a child that Mom and Dad getting a divorce will never lessen the love they each have for their child.

Goodbye Binky

 
 
I really enjoyed reading this book even though it almost brought a tear to my eye. It was very sweet and worthy of being a keeper on my kindle! Obviously it is a story of how a little boy must say goodbye to his pacifier. The sweet part is how he does it. The pacifier comes alive to help the little boy find a solution and say goodbye.
This book is very well written. The story flows and parts rhyme. I love books that rhyme! The illustrations are really beautiful! It comes with a free video. Although I didn’t get to view it, others may be able to and enjoy it! I highly recommend this book to all mothers and fathers trying to help their child let go of their pacifiers!

Mischief Grandpa

 
I really enjoyed reading this story. It is hilarious and very entertaining. I wish I would have had a grandpa like the one in this story. In this story, mischievous grandpa comes to visit his grandson.
First he scares mom, then he digs into the candy bowl and gives some to his grandson. Then he rides bikes in the house with his grandson. They run around the house and cause chaos. Then dad ends up with jam upon his head!
I love how grandpa spends this special time with his grandson and plays with him. This book is well written and the illustrations are very nice. I recommend this book for all looking for a good laugh! I shall say no more before I give the whole story away!

Learn 123 With Ocean Mermaid For Kids

 
This book tells the story of a little girl named Rim that has trouble counting. When she goes to school and the teacher asked her to count to 10, all the kids started laughing. Rim goes to bed sad that night and dreams that she is a mermaid.
The action and adventure begins as she and a fish named Nima get chased by a shark! After they escape, Nima ask Rim to join her at school. Rim tells Nima that she has trouble with counting. Nima tells Rim that the teacher has a magic baton that can help her with counting. So Rim follows her to school and learns how to count.
This book is very educational. It teaches children to try their best to learn no matter what. It teaches children that there is not really any magic baton that could help her count but if you are persistent, patient, and practice really hard every day, you will learn! The illustrations are really nice and I enjoyed reading this book to my child!
