This is a great story. It helps remind children that sometimes it is the smallest things that make them special. I agree that often it is the big splashy things that make the most noise and leave people feeling like they are not important because they are not able to do that big splashy thing or only able to do it but not at the level of someone else. I love how this story brings home the message that being kind and helping others is equally valuable and worthy of being rewarded. I recommend this book to anyone with children who need this kind of affirmation.

This is a cute little story. I think this is a great story to share with your child when they are about to become an older brother. It helps to make them see that the upcoming sibling is a good thing as they will be someone the new brother will look up to. The story also reminds them that they are not being replaced but rather that they will now have someone to share their life with. I recommend this story to any parent who is about to welcome another child into the family, read this story with your other child and share with them how they are going to be such a great big brother.

I enjoyed this book. I don’t normally read science fiction novels but this one caught my eye and sounded interesting so I decided to try it out and I was not disappointed. I really liked the twist in the story and found myself unable to put it down until I finished reading it. I do like stories that are about what the earth will be like in the possible future and I found this story intriguing. The story flows really well and and the author created a vibrant world for me to explore. I look forward to reading more from this author
This is a cute little rhyming book. I really enjoyed watching Luca think of all the things that could go wrong if he actually ate glue. The book had me smiling all the way through. I enjoyed the book and I think many kids would enjoy it as well. I recommend this book to everyone who has children who love reading.
I enjoy this series of children’s books. The stories center on a little boy named Dylan who enjoys playing detective along with his sister and his dog.

This was a cute little story about a group of kids trying to catch a pig. I think it showed how anything can be accomplished if you don’t give up. It also shows how a child can use a situation where someone is trying to intimidate them to their advantage by motivating them to succeed. I think many kids would enjoy this book and recommend it for them.

I enjoyed this book because it really shows what pets can experience when they are left in a new environment. This book dealt with pets having to be boarded while the family was away on vacation. Thankfully it was with the grandmother but for the Oscar and Emmy it was still an unfamiliar place and scary for them. I highly recommend this series and author to parents with children who have or are interested in adopting a pet as it provides many helpful tips and suggestions on how to make the pet feel safe and loved.
This is a cute little story. I love this series for children because it’s a fun way for kids to learn about what is all involved with having a pet. This story explores what happens when you take your pet to the vet. It illustrates how a pet can find the experience a little frightening and what the child can do to help them cope. I recommend this series of stories to parents who have children with pets as it helps them learn about their pets and how to take care of them.

I enjoyed this book. I have always had an interest in the subject of Camelot and I liked this interpretation of the history of that world. The story was very interesting and I enjoyed reading about Morgan’s journey to becoming who she was meant to be. It was a joy watching her grow and I look forward to reading the next book of her journey. The author created a vibrant world and I look forward seeing more from this author.

This is a very interesting take on an abc book. It might not be right for every child but for that inquisitive and intelligent child who loves to learn and read this book is perfect. I loved how not only were the words associated with each letter colorfully illustrated but the definitions were added in the back of the book, which does help that little inquisitive and intelligent child learn and grow. I think this book might not be for every child but I definitely recommend that anyone with children because it will definitely help them to grow and learn.

This book was a really good continuation of this series. The story of Bistrita and Chara had so much drama and excitement. This series is so good and each new book just gets better. There is a bit of a twist in this story that really surprised me but made for a really interesting read. I have enjoyed reading this series and look forward to reading more from this author.

This is a cute little story and I really loved it. This book would be a perfect fit for any child who has a pet that they would love to spoil. I liked how the recipes for different dog treats were included in the book because that will allow the children and their families the opportunity to make their pet treats just like CJ and Lora. This is a delightful book and I like this author. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs and wants their children to love dogs and know how to take care of them.

I did enjoy this book. It was a little bit different story about vampires and I like reading different takes on vampires. The author created a very vibrant world and I enjoyed reading about Matthew’s journey as he looked for answers in his life. The story had a few surprises and I enjoyed the ending. I will look forward to reading more from this author.

Here are my initial reviews of these books and reading them again in this complete book did not change my opinion, in fact it only reinforced it. This is a great series and I highly recommend it.
The initial introduction into the life of Ian Troy was epic. It brought to my mind stories like JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. As I proceeded on the journey with Ian Troy I was left in awe of this author’s imagination. The story captured my attention and I enjoyed the journey. The ending was dramatic and left me wanting more. I look forward to the next installment and cannot wait to continue the journey.
The second installment into the continuing journey of Ian Troy did not disappoint. The epic adventure just keeps getting better. C.L. Schneider built a dynamic world and I really enjoyed immersing myself in it. The trials and triumphs of Ian Troy and his fellow travelers endured were both exhilarating and at times sad. This epic adventure was a great continuation of Ian Troy’s story and C.L. Schneider’s dynamic world. I look forward to the final installment.
The final book in C.L. Schneider’s trilogy was fantastic. As Ian Troy’s journey came to an end, I cried, I was that vested in his story. This heroic novel had many ups and downs, but the journey was so worth it. C.L. Schneider once again reached, for me, the status of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. She is that good. This is an author I will follow and I look forward to the next journey.

This book was so good. It was so very interesting being part of Gaelan’s journey in life and trying to understand what he had gone through during his many lifetimes made for a very enjoyable read.
