Review: Nature's Little Helpers


Nature's Little Helpers (Disney Fairies)Nature's Little Helpers by Andrea Posner-Sanchez

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Tinkerbell is so loved in my house. And - this book is sure to be one of our favorites. Not only is it printed on 100% recycled material - it is also printed using vege-inks. How's that for "Earth-Conscious?"



There are "Go Green" tips on almost every other page too -- conserving water - reUsing items - you name it. :o) I am a very earth-conscious mom anyway, and talk about this type of stuff with my daughter. But - it's great to have another tool, as well.



She loved the book - from talking about the ways we can help the Earth to looking at the beautfuily illustrated pages. She talked about each Fairy's job too. She GETS it! :o)



Happy reading...

p.s. we are going to incorporate some of the "tips" in this book into our crafts and daily life.

Review: The Day It Rained Hearts

The Day It Rained HeartsThe Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I liked this quick little book. It's short enough to read quickly - yet very inspiring. It gave us a lot to talk about...including love and gifting. My daughter loves to make cards and craft too- so she thought it was neat that Cornelia did as well. The illustrations are darling and the animals are too cute too.

Review: Curious Kitties


Curious KittiesCurious Kitties by Sam McKendry

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It's funny how books can get lost on only one single shelf. We cleaned off our shelf in the living room - to make way for more books and transferred this one upstairs to my little girl's bedroom shelf.

We have had this book for quite some time - and it used to be one of her favorites. It was one of her very first color learning books. I liked it because she was excited about touching each of the colors - since they were 3D. From an early age - she also learned to LOVE pop-up books as I did when I was young. There is even a pop-up surprise on the last page as well.
