Jacqueline is on the way to the market when she passes an old man who offers her some magic beans and if they don’t grow then she can get Bessie back. When she gets back home her mom is not happy she traded the cow for the magic beans. She gets upset with herself and tosses the beans out the window and the next morning is super excited they did so she climbs all the way to the top. At the top she meets a one eyed giant. Thing’s aren’t always brighter on tbe other side. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. The illustrations are great and make the story come to life.

Small Fry is a children’s chapter book aimed for middle school aged children between eight to twelve years old. I started to read to my five year old and decided to see what it’s about first then read to him. This author has a way of grabbing your attention and will keep you turning the pages till the end. Her characters are relatable and fully developed. Some of them made me sad and others were simply not nice. There is a very important message in this book and I think every middle school aged kid should read it. Let’s face it kids are mean and bullying is not ok. Silas is in sixth-grade and he is shorter than everyone else in sixth grade by a lot. He has a medical issue that’s makes it hard for him to grow. Good thing he meets some new friends who don’t care about his size and silas bonds with them in band practice and then there’s big bully chad. He decides to make them his new target. Silas over hears chad is running for class president so he decides to run as well to stand up to chad . What happens when a disaster strikes?

Brave Kids is a Anthology of twenty-four short stories by various authors from around the world. I loved everything about this collection and the powerful message that comes with each story. This s is intended for readers ages 6-12 years old. I would say children as well as adults can take away something from this collection. We learn different ways to be brave,how to not give up on our dreams, go after what you want. We learn different things to deal with different sensory situations ,to be kind and how courage can help overcome diversity. I really enjoyed Amaleigha Tames a Bully: Kindness can change a hard heart by Janice Pratt. This story shows bravery by being herself and asking for help when you need it and standing up to the meany bully. My son is five and we are working on different ways to express our emtions,how to use our words to ask for things and how to deal with different sensory situations. He asked questions about why each of the kids showed bravery and courage to face different things. I love that he loves to read and he was sad for some of the kids in some of the stories.I highly recommend reading this collection and who knows you might find a few new authors.

A Spot of Earl Slay (Tea Time Troubles Book 1) by Aubrey Elle

A Spot of Earl Slay is the first book in Tea Time Troubles Series and is the perfect Cozy Mystery to curl up on the couch on a rainy day. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. This is a new author to me and I must say I like her style of writing and attention to detail. Her characters are real fully developed and relatable plus they make the story come to life. This is about a mother and daughter sleuthing team who move to a new town to start over after a divorce. What they find when they arrive is a body in their storage shed. Let the investigating begin. What will they discover in this small town? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author and this series.
