TeamWork Hugo the Happy Starfish Suzy Liebermann Book Review (Tomoson)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 




I read TEAMWORK - THE ISLAND OF COOPERATION (HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH - Island Adventures11: Educational Children's Book Collection), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Suzy Liebermann and Published by Happy Language Kids, LLC.


The book is about Hugo and his friends, who are in the midst of a hurricane. They have to learn to work together to build a shelter on the Island of Cooperation.

The book was a good, quick read. The kids and great niece enjoyed the book. Liebermann has a great style of writing for children. Check out Hugo the Happy Starfish series. The books are available in Kindle format.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

#Fall4Mushrooms Campaign (One 2 One Network)

This post was brought to you in part by #Fall4Mushrooms, courtesy of One 2 One network. September is National Mushroom Month. Mushrooms come in different varieties. I know there is Shiitake, Portobello, and wild.  I normally get the sliced, white button,  mushrooms in the store. They are usually white and I toss them in a lot of things. I love mushrooms. I grown to love them more as an adult than when I was a child. I add them to salads and meals.

Some Facts about Mushrooms (paraphrased from email and the website)


Mushrooms are the only fresh veggie, which has Vitamin D

Mushrooms help add flavor and nutrients to your plate.

Mushrooms can be incorporated into any meal, morning, noon, or night. You can make a philly cheese steak or top some eggs with mushrooms. You can make a nice salad. I even saute some tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. Add a little avocado, salsa, or chicken. That is a good snack or meal. Maybe you can add them to pasta or rice. Check out the Pinterest board for more ideas.

Some recipes I liked from the Pinterest board included the Mushroom and White Bean Tostada;Brie and Cranberry stuffed mushrooms; Mushroom PinWheels; Mushroom Bruschetta; Grilled Mushroom Flatbread. I also liked the Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwiches; The Portobello Mushroom Sandwich (which uses a big portobello as the bun, and tomato and cheese in the middle)

Mushrooms can grow indoors and available year round

Mushrooms can pick up a lot of flavor from other foods.

Mushrooms can be sauteed, grilled, boiled, roasted, stuffed, baked and eaten raw.

Wild mushrooms may be poisonous. It is best to buy from a trusted source.
