Honored for Excellence by the Mom’s Choice Awards

2014 Readers Favorite International Award Winner

Age 4-8

Glide gently into the beautiful morning with Baby Thomas and his grandpa. The sun is shining brightly through the wide window and the flowers, trees, birds, and other creatures have already started their day. Brilliant colors of the dawning day wake up the park, and Baby Thomas is ready for a walk. While walking in the park with his grandpa, they see the same things but from a different perspective. Baby Thomas wants to hug the wonderful world around him, but his grandpa has a different opinion. In this book, young readers will easily connect to the wonders of nature and unforgettable characters, playfully interacting with each other. Join happy Baby Thomas and his grandpa for a walk and have a delightful, uplifting morning!

Good Morning, World! is a wonderful story told from a baby’s point of view. Baby Thomas loved being in his stroller and going through the park. He found that with just a smile he could tell trees, leaves, branches, lady bugs, etc. hello. A baby’s mile is one of the most beautiful things to witness. Sadly, his grandpa only saw the negatives such as the heat. The contrast was well-written with gorgeous illustrations. Grandpa didn’t interact with Baby Thomas and that didn’t seem right. He, and all of us, could learn a lesson or two from Baby Thomas. Five Stars!

Fairy Dust: Bedtime Tale #1 by WJ Scott

My review follows the authors’ book blurb found on Amazon.

‘A wonderful start to this fantasy adventure. A FINALIST and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards UK 6-8 yrs.

Mischief and magic. Tinkers and fairies. Do you believe in magic?

Farran Sherwin cupped a hand to his ear and said, “I can’t hear you. Do you believe in fairies?”
The hall erupted into chaos as children sprang out of their seats, spilling popcorn under their feet as they yelled, “Yes!”
The tinker staggered as if he had been struck by a sound-wave and the children giggled.
Farran cocked his head. “Listen. Can you hear someone?”
A hush settled over the children. They perched on the edge of their seats, palms gripping the armrests. Their faces were pinched tight as they gazed up at the stage.
He widened his eyes and whispered, “She’s coming.”

Evelyn, an orphan, doesn’t believe in magic anymore, but then the meddlesome tinkers arrive in her village and change her world forever.

A bedtime tale to delight younger readers or those still young at heart. 

A heart-lifting tale suitable for junior readers or a perfect bedtime read by parents and grandparents for younger children. 

“Do you believe in fairies?” 

Fairy Dust is a well-written book for ages 6-8, and a book that can be read any time of the day or at bedtime. It is very short and fast paced, and the illustrations are gorgeous. I do think the shortness doesn’t help this book at all, and in places we went from one thing to another without a tie in. The author could add more dialogue and pages to make this a true children’s book size. Four Stars.  

I want to wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day. My wish isn’t for couples and significant others only. My Valentine wish is for all friends and family. Back in the 60’s and as a class, we gave Valentines to each other as students. Prior to that, we each decorated a small white paper sack with hearts and such. It is with that feeling in mind that I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo

“Picture This!

Danté Roenik creates ad campaigns, reveling in the fine art of rendering his concepts on million-dollar canvasses financed by big-budget clients. Intoxicated by the sheer power of directing public opinion, he dares wage war against the conglomerate behind a worldwide anti-depressant increasingly associated with sporadic violence. To juxtapose his images with reality, he enlists a mixed palette of business tycoons, his fiancée/attorney, a team of corporate-spy soldiers of fortune, one resurgent news anchor, and the best TV-production crew in Chicago.

But the sharp lines dividing perception from truth begin to blur when the darker motives shaping mass media come to light. Forced to re-examine the ethics of designer pharmacology, Danté is painted into a corner, his future about to be erased as patients die, clients lie, and unhealthy doses of murder prove too hard to swallow.

Too late to whitewash the stain of deceit, Danté must decide who deserves to appear in his picture, the true subject an unfinished self-portrait way past its own deadline.

It’s not what you see, not what you get . . .
But all you could ever imagine.
Let Danté show you how . . .

With a Fantasy Patch!”

Fantasy Patch by Stephen Geez is a novel that focuses on the impact of the prescription drug industry. Through the eyes of Dante, we see just what goes on behind the scenes of Big Pharma, and we realize that this is something that is going on, and possibly could happen in the future, as far as the pink pills fed to the unsuspecting public in this novel. What happens in the real world? Great question! Most individuals know nothing. I happen to be a registered nurse, and as such I have witnessed some things I never want to see again, at all! This is a well-written and engaging book that rates as five stars from me.

I just read this book and my review follows the author’s book blurb found on Amazon.

“An enlightening story about a little girl named Nika who didn’t want to take care of her clothes and toys. One hazy morning when Nika opened her closet, she discovered that it was empty. Her clothes had disappeared! What had happened to her shirts and pants? Where did her favorite dresses, coats, and socks go? Why did they leave her with just her pajamas on this misty morning? Will they come back? Taking a closer look at her room, Nika starts thinking about her attitude toward her clothes and toys. “How easy it is to lose something you love so much.” She learns an important lesson at the end of this story. Watch your children have a blast reading this story while learning valuable lessons.”

Runaway Clothes by Mrs. D. was a true delight to read! I could just picture in my mind how this little girl thought when she opened her closet and all her clothes were gone! The hangers didn’t feel appreciated and they let her know that!

This is truly a pure fantasy read, yet this little girl comes to understand that she has not been nice to her clothes or her toys. The book has beautiful pictures with full page color illustrations. Children can visualize the little girl, her messy room, very sad toys and angry hangers. Not only that but the hangers speak to the girl. All living and non-living things speak. The girl finally understands how her clothes, toys, and belongings felt. She folds her clothes neatly, hangs up the items to be hung, picks up her toys, and finishes a doll house so that the dolls could move in. Children need to learn the right way of taking care of their things, books, toys and clothes. Five stars! I received this book in return for an honest review.
