Grains of Sand by Sibylle Delacroix is one of those odd books that if you are in a good mood it will keep you there. If you are in a not so good mood it might be too hopeful and sugar-coated. It is modern and classic mixed. There is no action, just the active imagination of a child. Clever, simple and has just that “something more” to it, this is a good bedtime story or quiet time read. The story is about a young […]
The Play’s the Thing
The edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Play a Play I read is no longer in print. Hopefully this new edition is just a new cover and has not changed the work of Richard R. George . Roald Dahl introduces the play with a short introduction of how it was sent to him. The end of the play has staging, lighting and other ideas of how you can perform this version yourself. The middle is the play. It follows the movie closely in areas […]
Don’t read this book under any circumstances. Ever!
This book should be called, “Don’t read this book under any circumstances. Ever!” Is there a rating score lower than one? Sadly, Don’t Tell! by Tom Booth has no story, no action and most importantly has a questionable ending: It is okay to tell a secret someone has asked you to keep. While that is not a black and white issue as, yes, bad secretes should be told but those “good secrets” should be kept. But what kind of secret is a good secret […]
Tiny bubbles Make me happy
Bubbles. Who does not like bubbles? Kangaroo sure does! And in this cute (but has been done before) story, Kit Chase shows us how much Kangaroo loves blowing Bubbles. In fact, when she finds some new ones floating by, she follows them and finds Koala. Who is blowing bubbles, too, but does not see very friendly. In fact, is down right shy. Soon, he starts to play with Kangaroo (although while he’s still in the tree). Yet, when Kangaroo needs help from the big bubble […]

Lisa Ann Scott and Heather Burns have created a new magical series. When Brooke saves a fairy from her cat, that fairy must grant her seven wishes. But everyone knows you should be specific in your wishes and be careful about what you wish for. When she wishes for 100 cats, little does Brooke realize that sometimes less is more! Too Many Cats book one in the Wish Fairy series is straight forward. Adults will realize right off how Brooke’s wish will go wrong. They […]
Party On, Princess!
I like knowing that if I recommend a book to a child there will be other books by the author. Or in this case, more in a series. Party Time Book One in the Puppy Princess series combines two things that will tickle the fancy of some readers: puppies and princesses. Party Time is the story of a young puppy princess who just does not want to be proper, behave and take baths. And especially does not want to wear pink ribbons in her fur. […]
