Childrens Book Reviews

Where is my Baby: 

I read Where is my baby, in exchange for review from Edelweiss. The book was written by Harriet Ziefett and illustrated by Simms Tabeck. The book was published by Blue Apple Books. The book was a quick read. The book had excellent colors, design, and graphics. Great read for the children.The book has each mama (or daddy) animal, looking for their baby. The book also teaches about the names of baby animals (chick, piglet, kid, etc). The kids loved the book.

Eggs, 1, 2, 3, Who will the babies be: 

I read Eggs, 1, 2, 3, who will the babies be, in exchange for review from Edelweiss. The book was written by Janet Halfmann and Illustrated by Betsy Thompson. The book was published by Blue Apple books. Key selling points from Edelweiss:

1. Kids are interested in reading about baby animals
2. Poetic flow and nature facts. 
3. The book teaches kids how to count
4. The book is interactive
5. The art and design work is fabolous
6. The author has wrote over a dozen nature-themed animal books. 

The book was a quick read. I loved the artwork and graphics. The book flowed poetically. The first story is on penguins. The penguin family is waiting for their egg to hatch. The book also teaches counting skills, in addition to guessing skills. For example, the section on platypi, only shows the platypus tail. The kids can guess which animal the tail belongs to. Maybe it's a playpus, maybe it's a beaver. Great read. 

Do you wear Diapers?

I read Do you wear diapers, in exchange for review from Edelwiess. The book was written by Tanya Roitman and published by Blue Apple Books. The book was a quick read and the kids loved it. I also chose it because my youngest is still in diapers and my oldest is in pull-ups. I added images from the book to the right

The book asks different animals do you wear diapers? and each animal responds with how they go to the bathroom. For example, the bear poops in the woods and the tiger poops in the jungle. The other animals respond with where they poop at. The book also teaches kiddies about animal habitats. Loved the book.

Where's Milo's Ball

I read Where's Milo's Ball, in exchange for honest review from Edelweiss. The book was written by Mike Austin. The Book was published by Blue Apple

First, I did have to adjust my settings a bit to be able to read the book. The initial font on the e-reader was too small. Every other page was blank and some of the story was missing. Was not sure if I received a blank copy of the book or a book with a lot of blank pages and hardly no words or graphics. This was a quick read to the kiddies. They enjoyed the pictures.

I chose this book to read to the kids. The book is about Milo the Cat, who is looking for a ball of string.  The book was in panel format. Good for a traditional book or a Kindle Fire, but I used Adobe Digital Editions to read the book. I hope the board book is better than the electronic edition.

Simply Jesus by Joseph M. Stowell

I read Simply Jesus by Joseph M. Stowell, in exchange for review from Blogging for Books. The book discusses living a life, simply for Jesus, versus others and self. There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. Everything in our lives is worthless, when compared to God. Our problems don't matter when compared to God.


Other highlights from the book:

When we get to know Jesus, we understand our purpose and worth more.
We should not flaunt our "goodness" because it hinders a relationship with Jesus
We should not expect medals for spiritual accomplishments
Trouble does not discriminate. We all have issues.
