Ogitchida Kwe's Children's Book Review Billy And Monster's Golden Christmas

Billy And Monster's Golden Christmas

Written By: David Chuka

     

 

     In the book Billy and Monster's Golden Christmas, the golden rule of being polite and thankful are brought to the surface. Billy the main character is one of those ungrateful kids that wants everything under the sun to fall before his eyes. He quietly learns that life is not all about getting, but life is also about being appreciative of what you have today. Billy unusually finds this out and his life lesson is found to be something that truly makes a difference in his heart. Our children listened to this story with content and appreciate the author's way of addressing this wonderful life lesson and bringing it to life! Chuka gives the kids something to be thankful for! We recommend this story to all families!

*Disclosure Statement: Ogitchida Kwe was given this book in exchange for an honest review. We always enjoy giving our heart and soul to our reading audience and our book reviews are just part of what we do!

Children's Book Review The Magic Dreidels A Hanukkah Story

The Magic Dreidels

By Eric Kimmel

PURCHASE ON AMAZON

The Magic Dreidels is based upon a clear lesson from Torah:

"Do not covet anything that is your neighbor's” (Exodus 20:14)

     This story was one that helps young children to grasp the idea of jealousy and what can happen when one is so terribly filled with jealousy over materialistic items. I feel that it helps children realize the truth behind jealousy and if they are faced with something like this in their lives, they will be able to remember this story and reflect upon their own lives. The author helps the reader to see just how detrimental that jealousy is and it sends a clear warning to the hearts of children not to engage in this way, ever. This story brushes upon the reality of isolation as well as inclusion. The reader realizes that with a good heart good things come to those who are steadfast in taking the right steps in life and respecting others. 

 

   The illustrator Katya Krenina really did a wonderful job. She used nice colors for the winter season and they helped to really keep the story believable for the reader. Also she totally keeps in tune with the author's story by drawing the characters with lot's of emotion. 

 

   Our homeschool really enjoyed this book and we recommend it with a big thumbs up!

Children's Book Review

Little Orchid's Sea Monster Trouble

Author: Claudine Gueh Yanting

This story gave meaning to what family really is. I read this book aloud to my homeschool children, usually I use a device to read from but my wi-fi went out and I had to read from the computer. Nonetheless it kept the boys and I entertained for the last few days. The author has a figurative imagination that bursts with life and love in this book. The images of how the characters grow into different beings are vivid and the feelings of love and trust are felt through her usage of words. I could also feel the intensity of the pain and rejection felt by the protagonist during the period when she felt isolated due to her status in the home of her upper class friend. My children never had to question what the character was feeling because this character was totally brought to life right from the pages of this book! The author knows how to grasp the attention of children as well as adults and keep her audience wanting to read continuously. I appreciate this style of writing and wish that more could grasp and compete for the eyes and hearts of children such as this author. Little Orchid's Sea Monster Trouble will always be a favorite in our house!

Children's Book Review Anna and Her Rainbow Colored Yoga Mats

One thing that I have to say about this book is that I totally loved it and so did my kids. I read this book aloud in my homeschool this afternoon shortly after it arrived. The author gives her readers a chance to understand what a child may go through while encountering bullying or just being different in relation to their peer group. She gives the reader a chance to see a super strength that flows through the protagonist via the actions of yoga. This book helps children to understand the value of being different and allowing others in their environment to be different as they are, without a direct negative outlook on the child. This book will help any teacher or parent that wants to explain bullying to their children and how to react when confronted with it. This is an excellent read for all elementary school age children.

Lost Little Penguin Children's Book Review

The Lost Little Penguin by Tracey Corderoy and Gavin Scott was an astounding tale of adventure and love that each and every reader will enjoy! Parents will enjoy this story just as much as children will. It starts off with a foreshadowing of danger leading the reader to understand that there is definitely a reason to be worried for the protagonist, Plip the penguin. This foreshadowing allows the reader to imagine a big bad wolf like character and all the danger that goes along with it. The author helps young readers and parents alike to understand that we should not judge a book by it's cover, figuratively. This was done in a way that captures the imagination of children and keeps them turning the pages of this revealing tale. The emotion of love is felt throughout the story as well as the sense of urgency and excitement. This story keeps the reader turning pages and the interest is always held.  In my personal opinion I believe that keeping the interest of the child is the main point for a children's book. It is not only beneficial to the authors to keep the reader in tune but also it benefits the new emerging readers. This benefit builds upon the literacy of a child and leads them to a lifelong love of reading and this is why it is so important to keep their interest. By keeping the attention of the child reading, Corderoy and Scott are doing much more than telling a story but building upon literacy in the life of a child! Our homeschool recommends this book with flying colors! 

The Snow Cat Children's Book Review

Book Review: The Snow Cat

Nish Homeschool  Book Review: The Snow Cat 

By Lester Ferguson

This book is one in the series of Earth Watchers written by Lester Ferguson. Ferguson surely writes for a crowd of youngsters to cheer them on to become wild life lovers and activists. The book The Snow Cat, gives the readers time to immerse themselves in a beautiful wild life expedition within the Himalayan Mountains. The reader is introduced to the snow leopards and given a short time to grow close to them before the true expedition of this story is revealed. Parents and children alike will find this story fascinating and an honest truth to the struggle of wild life activists across the world. The excitement level is fast paced and the reader is always ready to move on to the next page to find out what will happen next. Not only will the reader experience excitement when reading this book, they will also come to understand the natural way of life in the far eastern mountains. Ferguson shares important data that reflects the region and guides the reader to the history and culture of illegal animal poaching.  As an added bonus it also includes a small colorful map in the back of the book and fun facts on tigers. The included map helps the young reader to easily navigate where the setting will take place in this story.  I truly loved this book. As a political/animal activist I honestly feel that this book was well written for a child to grasp an understanding of the dangers in standing up for what they believe in and morally right. Ferguson definitely knows how to write an interesting book complete with educational materials as well. We give this book a thumbs up and recommend it to our homeschooling families and others!

Children's Book Review

BOOK REVIEW:

Hello Bali

Hello Bali is another super yoga book by author Giselle Shardlow that gives parents and children an easy yet engaging introduction to yoga. My six year old son and I read this book together and he was able to do the moves and feel confident in front of others while practicing. Easy learning and fun is what this book is all about. Shardlow entertains her readers by giving them an awesome introduction to yoga by including colorful and exquisite details on many of the introductory moves to yoga. Young children can follow along at home at their own speed with their yoga mats and get right into the moves. This book is well written and comes with everything that a parent needs to start off a yoga adventure with their young child. Not only does Shardlow find creative ways to bring about the founding culture that yoga started in but she also includes a small dictionary with pictures to describe Indonesian words for children to learn. This gives the children not only an introduction to yoga but a real piece of Indonesian culture to learn and explore. With the simplicity of the moves and detailed artwork children and parents can complete them with ease and feel confident to go onto the next level of poses. This book is highly recommended for beginners and first time parents and children alike that are interested in the practice of yoga. 

Children's Book Review The Trees Have Hearts

Children's Book Review

The Trees Have Hearts

Author: Mrs. D.

     Children in any social setting can be down right mean and hurtful when it comes to language barriers, or any other issues that cause another child to stick out. Too many children today are outcasts from the popular crowd and strive earnestly to fit in. Feeling left out as this story relates is just not fun. Mrs. D. helps her young readers see just how important being inclusive is with other children. Yet she also helps to define happiness without the crowd. Addressing the social aspects of bullying and exclusiveness in children's social settings is an excellent way to write a book.

      We read this book aloud in our homeschool and my family enjoyed it very much. My youngster understood the pain that the main character felt in this book and he was filled with empathy for her. Not only that, but he was amazed with the trees and the wind and how their emotions ran wild at times. This is an excellent story to help children understand the ill effects of bullying. The author empowers her readers to build self esteem in order to persevere on their own, especially if they are defined as different from the core group. We recommend this book to all!
