Three Little Sisters



This book tells the story of how the Three Little Sisters love to play together without Television, Computers, or Video Games. When they were little, they created their own library and school and pretended that they were going to school. They also loved to go outside and play. They played in the mud, on their swing set, in the pool, and on a boat. They had so much fun together!

This book is for preschool age children. It is illustrated with crayons so that the younger children will related to the pictures and want to go color their own pictures. This book is educational and teaches children to have fun playing together without Television, Computers, or Video Games. It teaches children to appreciate having brothers and sister to play with. They would have been so bored if they did not have each other.

Sophie And Crystal Carter & The Unexpected Secret



This book tells the story of twins Sophia and Crystal who thought their summer would be boring until their mom told them that they would be staying with their grandfather, whom they never met before. They found it very odd for their mom to leave them with their grandfather when they have never even met him before.

They find a spell book in grandpa’s cellar and realize that their mother and possibly they are witches. Grandpa confesses and takes the girls to the magic world because they are afraid that someone is after their mother after grandpa tells them what happened to their father. They must find their mother in the magic world to save her!
This is all I will tell you because I do not want to spoil the rest of the book. I will say that this book is great. I am sure older children and teenagers will love this book. It is very interesting, and gets suspenseful as they have to find their mother to save her life. The ending is very sweet and heartwarming. I highly recommend this book!

Flipper And The Mermaid


This book tells the story of how Maggie the dog and her owner Mary are walking along the beach. Maggie disappears and finds a mermaid named Mandy. Mandy uses her magic so the dog can come swimming under water with her. Maggie finds a treasure chest and the Mandy has to get the dog back to Mary before the ghost of the treasure chest catches Maggie!

That is all I will tell you about this book. You must read this book to know if Mandy is able to get Maggie safely back to the shore before the ghost gets her.

It is a cute book with nice illustrations. Younger children will enjoy this book. My child enjoyed it since she loves dogs and water. It is hard for me to find a book that she will let me finish reading to her. I was actually able to finish reading this book to her. It is a nice, fast, bedtime read.


Saved by the Curls


This is the story of how Annie has beautiful curls but she wants strait hair like her best friend Mia. Annie tries and tries to get her hair strait because she doesn't like her curls. Her mother tries to tell her that she is beautiful just the way she is. She tries to lay books on her hair to straighten it out. Her father tries to tell her we all look different because we would be boring if we all looked the same, but Annie still wanted straight hair.

That is all I am going to tell you though. I do not want to give the ending away. You have to read this book to find out why it is called Saved By The Curls.

I loved this book. It is well written and the illustrations are very nice. It teaches children to be happy with themselves, that everyone is different and special. If we all looked the same, we would be boring and it would be very difficult to be able to know who anyone was.  It teaches children to find a way to be happy with themselves, no matter what it is about themselves that they just do not like.











The Adventures of Maggie Bee




This book tells the story of how Maggie Bee is supposed to collect pollen for her mother so she can make a cake. She gets the pollen and is taking it home to her mother. Along the way home, she keeps finding other bugs that need help. Every time Maggie stops to help other bugs, she loses some of her pollen. When Maggie gets home, she doesn't have enough pollen left to make the cake. Her mother was just so happy that Maggie was kind enough to stop and help all the other bugs.

Their is more to this story, but that is all I am telling you. You have to get the book if you want to know what happens next. I love the ending, it is really great!

I love that this book rhymes and is well written. The illustrations are very nice and colorful also. This book is very sweet and educational. It teaches children that they should always stop and help someone in need. I wish people were all still like that today. I recommend that all kids read this book.
