Along Came You By Estelle Corke Review

Thank-you Zondervan for sending me this book in exchange for a review. All opinions expressed are 100% mine.

My Review:
This is a board book so it is perfect for little fingers to page through. The pictures are adorable and I think many mom's will read this story and agree with what the author says. Life is completely different after having kids but it is in fact life much better with kids! I couldn't imagine life without my two children... it would be dull without them! They bring the sunshine to me each and every day.

"Along Came You" is a very simple story as a mom tells her child what life was like before having her and after having her. The author will get any mother to recall similar stories and have you comparing your own personal before and after. What a wonderful gift it is to be a mother.

My two kids enjoyed the story and they are aged 3 and 6. Since it is a board book I was recommend the ages for 2-4.

"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...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
