I-tell-my-own-story-bookI Tell My Own Story is colorful, fun and imaginative and I highly recommend it. Instead of telling a story, the author invites children to use their imagination and answer questions about each illustration.

If I still had little ones, I would have this in my stack of fun things to do on a rainy day, along with playdough, puzzles and games. Kids will absolutely love the illustrations and they’ll gain confidence by being put in charge of the story. My guess is, they will want to tell it over and over and you will have a blast listening to the adventures they dream up.

I have to give this little book a great big two thumbs up!! (Posted on Amazon.)

Book Review on Find the Animal

I recently reviewed this delightful book for an interview on a Christian radio station. I liked it so much, I had to share it with you.

God Made Something Strong is part of the Find the Animal Series, by Penny Reeves.

This delightful book teaches children, in a way they will understand and enjoy,  that God’s love is bigger than they can imagine. Even bigger than an elephant!

I have to give it 4.5 stars for the message it teaches. Add the fun, colorful and interactive illustrations and it’s a great find. Not to mention, the price is right!

Learn more about Penny Reeves and her wonderful books for kids.

True Love for Me is coming at the end of March 2013.

We already have several orders for this charming little book and requests are still coming in.  Contact Denise if you would like to order a copy in advance.

Description:

Sadness and anger threaten Sadie when she faces problems at home. Sally, a friend from school, helps her find the true meaning of love and where to find it.

Anti-bullying, true friendship and love from God are the concepts promoted in this book through fascinating rhyme and colorful illustrations. The lesson: there is true love for every child, everywhere.

Can children change the world by finding true love and sharing it with the world around them?  Of course they can and we would love to see a copy of this book in the hands of every child, grades K through 3.

Your Magical Laugh, written and illustrated by Daniel Bulleri, is one of the sweetest books we’ve reviewed for the Best Books-Book Reviews site so far and we proudly announce Daniel is now a part of the Kids Book Group.

Children hear so much negative information about themselves and others. They also hear what NOT to do quite often throughout each day. I think this uplifting, encouraging little rhyming book counters some of that negativity by teaching them to be happy, and share that happiness with others.  It’s a plus that kids really love the illustrations. Students in grades K through 3 actually cheered for Bulleri’s super-hero pup when I presented this book to them.

The following description is copied from Daniel’s website:

Your Magical Laugh, my first book for kids, was written for some of the most important people in my life, my children.

Their laughter brings so much happiness to my ears, I wanted to find a way to encourage them and other children to hold on to it.  Share it. Make other people happy with it.

Thus, the book for kids, Your Magical Laugh.

It’s true our actions have a lasting impact on the people around us. It’s true we can help others and encourage them with a smile. Why not teach our children this simple, yet profound truth at an early age?

Scroll down and check out my video trailer if you would like a sneak preview!

 

Your Magical Laugh is available in paperback and electronic formats.

I hope you read this book  to your kids. Encourage them to use their gift of laughter to help others.
