"The Princess Twins" Book Review

I know I posted a review about a month ago about "The Princess Twins."  Well, I have 2 more "The Princess Twins" I CAN READ series books that I reviewed.  

The first one is "The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party" and the second is "The Princess Twins and the Tea Party" both came out in May 2012.  






About the story: "The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party"
Princess Emma and Princess Abby put on their fancy dresses and tiaras to celebrate their birthdays.  Too bad when a party guest arrives and feels less than beautiful in her plain dress, she leaves the castle.    Can the Princess twins help their friend and remember where true beauty lies?  


My Review:
My daughter is still in her fun princess stage.  She absolutely loves anything and everything princess related.  These books are fun for her because they are princess stories but I love them because there is always a Biblical lesson to be learned.  :)  I think this lesson hit home with my daughter.  She loves to wear a dress every day and she relates a dress to beauty instead of the inside and this book is a great way to start reminding her that it does not matter what clothes we wear!


About the Story: "The Princess Twins and the Tea Party"
The Princess Twins try to host a tea party.  Princess Emma wants it to be perfect  but the dog and the napkins are creating chaos.  Can Princess Abby convince Emma that only God is perfect? 


My Review:
It is frustrating to plan and plan and then the event not go as you had wanted, but at the same time you learn.  It is always a great reminder and lesson to know that we are human and make mistakes because God is the only perfect one.  My daughter enjoyed this story and wanted to act it since she loves having tea parties.  :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is the confession upon which all our hope, and all our joy, rests. The  Timeless Truths Bible  will encourage you in this truth through the wisdom of those who came before us with: Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth to stir your affections. Ancient creeds and confessions of the faith to grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. Artwork made throughout the history of Christianity to deepen your worship of God. My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible.  She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited.  Then with the leather she was more exci...
