One Small Donkey Board Book

Image
What is your favorite holiday? There are so many to choose from. However, mine is Christmas. Because of Christ sending us His son, we have a reason for living. We have a reason to celebrate! Every year, before we open gifts, we read the story of Jesus birth. Such an amazing story. When you open this cute little book, you get to follow this One Small Donkey on his special mission on the eve of Jesus birth.  I love the moral if this story. "even the littlest ones can do big things for God".  This will be a great story to read with your children.  $14.99 @ www.thomasnelson.com Check out all their other great books at  https://www.facebook.com/thomasnelsonfan https://twitter.com/ThomasNelson I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review

The Moodsters Feeling Notebook and Feelings Crayons

Image
I have a little girl with Sensory Integration (processing) Disorder. (SPD) She is in Occupational Therapy and a couple other therapies. One of them is talking about her feelings. She asks me, everyday, after school if I am happy. Then we go through the conversation about happy and sad. What makes us happy and what makes us sad or angry. I love this little booklet and crayons. At 3, feelings are so hard to express. With this Moodster book, she can point to the colors. (which she only knows purple so this also helps with colors) She can pick the one that fits her mood and we can talk about it. I believe this would be great for children with Autism! I think that this book will help your child or the child you know, express themselves. There are 5 Moodsters. Quigly is afraid. Lolly is loving. Coz is happy. Snorf is sad. Razzy is angry. Some little games you can play with your kids and watch how they react are: During a playdate, have the kids draw pictures of how they are feeling

Night Night Farm Board Book

Image
I sort of like night time books. Not that most books aren't night time books, but.... My favorite time of the day is snuggle time with my youngest. She asks me questions and snuggles and we almost always read a book. I try to keep her bringing the Tommy Nelson books. Not only are they smaller, but they are on her level. Plus they get her in the "mood" to say her prayers and relax. The Night Night Farm Board Book is cardboard and sturdy for those little hands to hold. Each page has cute little farm animals that tell the rhyming story. When I read to her, my voice always goes to the sing song sound of the rhyming books. I think our favorites were the bath time pigs! This book also helps your child learn the sounds that the farm animals make. You can purchase this cute board book from the gateway for $7.19 http://store.faithgateway.com/night-night-farm?spMailingID=52048053&spUserID=NTcwOTU0NDc2MTkS1&spJobID=982136959&spReportId=OTgyMTM2OTU5S0 or fro

The Ultimate Book of Dad Jokes

Image
In my house, I am the one without a sense of humor. When I make a joke, I am the only one who laughs. I have totally resigned myself to that. If my family laughs at the same time that I do, it's because I laughed. This book was full of super funny jokes. I have a bread allergy. One of the funny jokes to me was: "Anyone with a wheat allergy who routinely eats pasta is just a gluten for punishment". I laughed pretty hardy at this joke! This book has over 1,001 Punny jokes. I think that your Dad would love this book. I know my husband did. Just a little story.... The day that my husband and I met. I was working at Perkins and was really busy. Well, in walks this man. He follows me around the kitchen and back area. I'm thinking ok this guy is weird. He is telling everyone that he was in the military and just got back. I guess he came in to find out his schedule now that he was back. Anyway, one of the first things he said to me was a joke. He says " d

The Identity of Angiarts- Book

Image
This book was definitely different than most books that I have read or reviewed. I love Sci-fi and books of that nature. This book included, genies, sorcerers, leprechauns and more. It was definitely a book with action in it. You follow princess Angilika. This is her journey is finding her true being. It was a story of mystical proportions. INTRODUCING !! A perpetually adventurous muse on a mission to inspire the cultural history of the City Beautiful! The Identity of "AngiArts" is a modern-day legend that stages the fictitious life and identity transformation of a 21st century comic-book-style cartoon character for the Arts. I created this identity with the sole intention to rally and promote the arts and culture movement in downtown Orlando. The story narrates her fairy-tale life before the reality of her current presence-where she came from and how she got here; who she is today and why she landed in downtown Orlando. But what is this book really about? It's

That's Not The Monster We Ordered- Children's Book

Image
I have done a couple reviews from this author. I have loved them all. The latest one was My Grandpa is a Dinosaur. All these books are by Sky Pony Press company. My littlest loved this book. I made the monster noises, to make it exciting. The little boy in the book, has a friend who gets his very own monster. Everyone is so jealous. This monster can do so much cool stuff. He could yell louder than a pet lion. He could go down the stairs better than a slinky. He could carry the whole class home on his shoulders. The little boy finally convinced his mom and dad to get one. So they ordered the best monster they could. The loudest, fastest, grass-eating and time-travelingest monster they could. But when they received their monster...it wasn't what they thought they had ordered. No one was impressed. He was more of a practical joker. What you order and what you receive might not be the item you wanted BUT that monster might be just the monster you need. There are great morals

Tucker loved his friends and all his friends needed help. Some friends were sick, some always fighting, some hungry and some couldn't read. Sweet little Tucker wanted to help them all.

Everyone he passed on the way to see the King, told him different items that might make the perfect gift. When Tucker finally

One Big Turkey Board Book

Image
Each page of this adorable board book is a new number, counting from 1 to 10. Each with beautifully illustrated fall colors. All the animals are so cute. There are deer, squirrels and, of course, 1 big turkey. My favorite is the last page, which gives thanks. Thanks to our God, we pray before we rest. Food, friends, and family- goodness, we are blessed! One Big Turkey is a fully hard board book. The shape of the book, on the right hand side is the shape of a turkeys feathers. Too cute.

Office Depots National Backpack Program

Image
So many kids go back to school with no backpack and no supplies. There are so many ministries and companies now that try to help with this desperate need. My kids have been blessed with some of these ministries in the past. I am very happy to post about opportunities like these! National Backpack Program – 16th Anniversary For children to succeed in school, they need to have the right tools: pencils, pens, crayons and such – and something to carry them in, of course. With these in hand, they can walk out the door each morning with a sense of pride – excited about the day ahead. Unfortunately, millions of kids are far from properly equipped for school. In fact, untold numbers of youngsters head out in the morning with nothing but a plastic bag or a pillowcase to carry their books and school supplies in – if they even have any supplies to carry. The Office Depot Foundation has worked exceptionally hard to change this troubling reality. By donating great-looking new sack pack

Color Code Bible

Image
This is actually a neat way to Bible for kids. This Bible is done in the New King James Version. Sometimes I feel like the King James Version is hard to understand, even as an adult. But, I think they did a great job for kids. The back of the Bible shows how the pages are color coded for easy finds.

My Grandpa is a Dinosaur Book by Sky Pony Press

Image
I think that the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren is awesome! I love every one of our 6 kids but there is something about my granddaughter that is so different. Knowing that she came from our daughter. This little girl saw that her grandfather was a dinosaur. She asked everyone if they saw the same thing. All the people she asked thought that she was silly. She went around wondering and curious. 1 Day she decided to ask him. When he said "yes" and that he wondered how come no one else could see it, she realized that she wasn't silly after all. My husband loved reading this to our granddaughter. She will just wonder into "Pap Paps" office and sit there while he works. It is so cute! The illustrations are so cute. The colors and designs just help your child join in each page. This tall, hardback book would make a great gift.

My older kids love camping with Daddy. They look forward, all winter, to their first camp out of the season. Each one has had their special time fishing with Daddy. I am not the camper or the fisher in this house! Our 3 year old keeps begging to go fishing with Daddy. I think she may get to go this year.

Koby- the little blue kangaroo who worried all day As I am an adult worrier, I loved this little book. Koby would spend his days worrying about this and that. He didn't want to worry but it always happened. One day his mom asked him what was worrying him. When Koby started to tell her that he was wasting his days away and how to change that, Koby started to enjoy his time. Little by little, he changed his ways. The pictures were so cute and the story line was great! Perfect for those little ones to hear or to read. $9.15 http://www.amazon.com/Little-Kangaroo-Worried-Kobys-Books/dp/1512076201/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1459781461&sr=1-1&keywords=koby+the+little+blue+kangaroo Betsie Bee- the little bee who learned to share and care in preschool Betsie Bee is used to sleeping in and having all her toys to herself.
