Book Review: "Captain Snout And The Super Power Questions"

Book Description:

Captain Snout and the Super Power Questions; Don’t Let the Ants Steal Your Happiness, written by board-certified child psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen, playfully encourages children to correct their negative thinking patterns in order to live happier and healthier lives. Comical illustrations bring the story alive as our main character, Captain Snout, reveals the superpower questions that can rid us of our automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and lead to accurate and truthful thinking.

This picture book, based on a popular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy technique, will help readers do just that.

My Review:

Thank you, Zondervan and the ZSquad for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

I was very excited to read this book because in the title it says, " Super Power Questions" and that made me curious. Then also on the cover, it says, "Don't let the ants steal your happiness." I knew right away this book was going to be a book that would need to go to my classroom at school for social skills lesson.

The big idea in this story is changing the way we talk. Instead of talking negative or thinking negative we need to change it and ask ourselves a couple questions which include 1. Is that thought in your head true? and 2. Are you 100% sure it's true? These two questions really make you think through the statements that are made. These questions can help eliminate whines and "I can't" statements.

This Zondervan book is one that covers scriptural truths without actually quoting scriptures. It makes it really easy for me to bring to school. Hopefully, I can sneak more conversations that align with the Bible and this book after I read this story with students.

"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 words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
