This is such a cute book, the illustrations are amazing. It helps your child count to ten, and spot other things on every page.

Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane (Oscar and Emmy Series) by Terri Sabol – Review by Kristin Boutelle

Oscar and Emmy Weather a HurricaneOscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very great read to help young readers understand the importance of getting ready for a hurricane and how to prepare when you have pets. The story is very realistic on what happens during a hurricane. The author shows how having pets is a great responsibility and how the children in the story are very helpful. I love how the author incorporates the quirks of Oscar and Emmy to give the readers some relief during the story. The artwork is very well done also.

I want to first mention that I love the art in this book! I think this is the first time I have seen the author do the art herself and it’s fun! The story and illustrations are adorable. Dinopotamus wants to be just like the other kids. He is a little different though. He has to find a different way to do some of the things the kids do. My seven year old son and I both enjoyed this book.

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Summer of MudSummer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scoob and RC are a brother and sister duo who have been through a lot, but they both get their therapy through music, RC with his guitar and Scoob with her trumpet. She is so good that at the tender age of twelve, she has an audition for a local band who plays in one of her favourite restaurants, it is somewhere she knows well and is more than excited to play there, but just as she finds out that her audition was successful, her brother has some news for her as well, unfortunately for Scoob, it completely derails her dream.

It turns out that RC has a gig, but it’s not in their California home, not that they have much of a home on the streets homeless, but at least they are together, but this road trip to a festival takes her further away from her gig and from the opportunity it would give her to play in front of a major producer, so Scoob hatches a plan. Once they are on the road and RC tells her she has no choice but to go, however, Scoob is not in the mood to hear, so as soon as she can, she calls to find out when she needs to be home so that she can play in front of this extra special guest.

Unfortunately, this road trip becomes a bit dicey as RC decides to borrow some items along the way, Scoob is appalled, but when she sees their next stop in a tiny town called Rexburg and this is where things get really interesting. As they become embroiled in the drama around a new dam and how safe it is, as well as keeping up their cover about why they are there, Scoob and RC drift further apart as she feels like he is hiding something and when it all becomes too much and she decides to go it alone, disaster strikes and the controversial dam fails, causing a huge wave to smash towards Scoob, will she be able to survive the watery onslaught and see what the future brings, or will she end up in a watery grave? This is an emotional tale of a sibling roadtrip, with a rollercoaster of emotions throughout as truth, lies and secrets create a web of entanglement which you will untangle along with Scoob in this book you will not want to put down.

Just like the book Unicorns don’t do that, the Dinopotamus is such a fun and unique character. I love love love that the author drew the artwork for this book and that she was inclusive with the other characters she drew. Everyone has representation in the book. I love it. Dinopotamus just wants to do everything the kids do and he does it in his own way half the time lol. Another great read from author Lois Wickstrom. Look forward to reading more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’d read by this author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was blown away by how amazing it was! I read this with both of my kids who are 8 and 12 years old, and they loved it as well. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and really add depth to the story. It helped keep my youngest’s attention as well. This is such a beautiful book about resilience and the turbulent times that children can encounter. I especially loved that this focuses on foster kids because they do see the world differently, but they still need love, care, and attention. Sometimes they put up that wall of isolation to stay safe, and this story really shows how to support someone going through that. I highly recommend picking this up for your classroom, library, or home to share with the younger ones in your life. It teaches empathy and emotions as well as different situations that others go through.

The Big Book of Booper Snoots By Suzanna Lynn
5 Stars
Such a cute and interesting book, my two daughters and I loved it as our goodnight book the other day. We split this into two nights as they fell asleep.
We loved how it went through A-Z and had a pic for everyone to guess at first and then fun facts. Enjoyed the little facts at the bottom of the page that turned into mini side conversations with my daughter. Bella (9) loved the Hippopotamus one and we ended up watching a documentary on Hippos the next day. Book even had some Wacky Facts in there!!
Definitely a must read with the other kiddos when they want to read it and I am also thinking about using it for our homeschooling with the 2 little ones for their ABC’s

Thanks, Suzanna, for a awesomely cute book!!

I enjoyed reading this book to the kiddos. They seemed interested from the beginning. This is an ABC book and as we go thru the ABC’s we are shown a picture and we have to guess who’s snoot it is. The book also explains what a family or group of that animal is called. Very interesting and informative with bright beautiful pictures.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Are you ready for a hurricane? Do you have what you need for your pets during this emergency? That is the information you will find in this story of Oscar and Emmy. Abby and Charlie take their pets seriously. They love Oscar and Emmy and want to keep them safe as all fur baby people should do. The author has opened up ideas that even I did not know when it comes to pets. The story may be true but it has so much to tell. Your children will learn through reading. My family really enjoyed reading this story. The author also included a list of things to have ready at the end of the book. So much was to be learned as well as fun to be had. I look forward to reading and learning more about Oscar and Emmy.

I love the simplicity of this counting book. It is rhyming yet very quick and short to keep the attention of your littles. The illustrations are phenomenal and there are also facts about sea turtles. There are also so many learning opportunities with this book. This would be a great gift for expectant parents or a little in your life who loves turtles.

Dinopotamus Goes to School (Dinopotamus Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is such a fun story for kids. Its the story of Dinopotamus and him wanting to do all the things the other kids do. When they kids all go to school he follows them. With him being larger than the other kids he can’t do all the things they do, at least not like the other kids, but he always tries and even manages doing most of them. He had so much fun he looks forward to going back tomorrow. This book teaches kids that its ok to be different and that you can usually do the same things with some modifications. Such a great lesson for kids and the illustrations are so cute as well. Add this to your child’s library today!

Dinopotamis Goes to School is the first Lois Wickstrom book I have gotten my girls where she is the author and illustrator. While the pictures weren’t as good as the others, you can tell Lois Wickstrom put a lot of love into the story and art. I think my kids liked it best since it seemed more like art my oldest could try to copy, try being keyword. It was such a cute story and definitely for younger kids.

Ten Little Starfish by Kim Ann is such an adorable book. My girls loved counting the starfish and we even practiced colors as well. They had so much fun counting they even started counting other stuff on the pages like the rocks, crabs, seaweed, moss, etc. I didn’t notice until after we finished reading that there was a QR code and an actual song to accompany the book, so, of course, we had to reread it with the song playing. I loved all the little information towards the end about starfish as well. All in all, this is a cute little book and perfect for young kids!

Ten Little Sandpipers by Kim Ann is a perfect book for young kids! Not only were my kids counting the Sandpipers but they wouldn’t let me go to the next page until they could count every little thing in the picture. From the clouds to the mountains, seashells, crabs… didn’t matter what it was they HAD to count it all. There are little facts about Sandpipers at the end too which started up a bunch of questions from my kiddos.

Ten Little Sea Turtles by Kim Ann is such a cute book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is so much fun! There is a QR code in the back that will sing the cutest little song to go along with the book. However, if your kids are anything like mine you should do the song after going through the book. They didn’t want to go to the next page in time with the song, they wanted to keep looking at everything and each one had to take turns counting. This is a perfect book for little kiddos who are learning to count.

Ten Little Sea Turtles: A Counting Book is the third book in this cute series- A Counting Collection by Kim Ann. It is another fun learn-to-count picture book that is accompanied by lovely, cute, interesting, and colourful illustrations that easily captures your attention, while bringing the whole story to life.
The rhyming verses that told the story are a great way to help teach young children to count. This also has the added interest of having some Turtle ‘facts’ listed at the end of the book, as well as a ‘finder’ puzzle that made this storybook both educational and fun.
Highly recommended. An engaging, fun, imaginative, and enjoyable children’s picture book- with sweet illustrations, that help children learn to count along the way.
Looking forward to whatever Kim Ann brings us next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kim Ann!

It has great artwork, the colors really contrast perfectly together and the visual of the main characters’ feelings was excellently done. This book was a great match for tonight’s read as my nephew was in foster care. It was a good representation to show him that he wasn’t alone and not to hold his emotions in, and that it’s okay to let people in. you could he that he was really intrigued while we were reading I look forward to reading more work from this author 😀

The author did it in a way that made learning fun and interactive for him. We also enjoyed the smooth rhyming rhythm of the book; it made reading it out loud fun and enjoyable. The author did a great job of bringing marine life to life in this cute tale. We have already read the story 3 times and he keeps repeating certain phases he learned from the story. Definitely a great book and I can’t wait to see what else the author has written.

This is such a great book for young children. I have read several of this authors books and they have all been fantastic to read to my granddaughter. The illustrations are fabulous as always. I really loved how the illustrations in the whole book were all in color crayons. This book teaches some lessons as do her other books. In this book, the dinosaur goes to school with the children and does everything that they do. Some of the things the children do, but the dinosaur can not because of size or other differences. Great read and vibrant colors.
