Jack and the Leprechaun

When Jack the mouse travels to Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with his Irish cousins, he is indoctrinated into all things Irish. He learns about the shamrock and Irish foods, and of course, the legend of the leprechaun and his pot of gold. Jack comes across Liam the Leprechaun and chases him for his gold, but receives a pot of cheese instead. Since he is a mouse, this suits Jack fine. The author has tried to pull in cultural information about Ireland, even using two terms, which are italicized, from the Irish language. Unfortunately, there are also inaccuracies in the book. For example, the Irish flag is not orange and white, and Danny Boy is not the official song of St. Patrick's Day. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments.

Read and Learn Bible

These Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments are easily written in large print with colorful pictures on every page. Children can read this Bible for themselves. "The Tower of Babel," "Daniel and the Lions," "Jesus is Born," and "Jesus Heals a Crippled Man," are some of the 102 stories paraphrased from the King James version, the Contemporary English version, and other translations. Words in the text are further explained in a colored note at the bottom of the page. The books included are listed at the beginning of the Old and New Testament sections, along with the stories taken from each book. At the end are 20 "Parent Pages" written by Dr. Richard Bimler, which give suggestions for family projects and discussion. These Pages use specific Bible stories to illustrate topics such as "Facing the Fears of Life" and "Share Your Gifts." The scholarly resources of the American Bible Society coupled with Scholastic have produced a fully illustrated Bible especially for young readers and their families. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed.

The Jesus Storybook Bible, Read-Aloud Edition: Every Story Whispers His Name

I love to give family and friends The Jesus Storybook Bible because from the very first chapter it paints a powerful picture of God’s epic love for each one of us. Sally Lloyd-Jones has a unique way of inviting the reader, young or old, to dive in and discover for themselves the truth and hope of the greatest story ever told. I would urge not just families with young children to get this children's book, but every Christian from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians! Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God’s revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed.

Ollie's Easter Eggs

The little chicks are hard at work preparing their Easter eggs! Gossie, Gertie, BooBoo, and Peedie are gathering the eggs and dying them vibrant colors. Ollie, on the other hand, is too busy hopping around wearing bunny ears, but there is a problem. He wants Easter eggs, too. The chicks find just the right spot for their beloved eggs: beneath the soft straw, tucked away in the tulips, and even right under a turtle, until Ollie comes along! One by one he rolls them to his special spot. The little chicks begin to look for their eggs. No luck! Ollie hops by. They follow him and, low and behold, there are the eggs! This charming story will delight young readers. This would make a great tool to introduce reading strategies such as making predictions and sequencing events. The illustrations, created by using ink and watercolor, are colorful and engaging and are sure to elicit giggles from adults and children alike. Affordably priced, this would make a wonderful addition to any young readers library. This Easter children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments.
