This is a really cute story about a making friends and how you may have to work a little harder to do so. Donut the dog is sad because her friend moved away and she’s lonely, but Peanut the squirrel is there and Donut really wants to be her friend. But everything Donut does scares Peanut and Donut doesn’t understand why. This is a great story to teach kids that making friends can be hard but it’s okay to keep trying and to talk to the person they are trying to be friends with to see what is going on. I really loved the illustrations and the storytelling. This is a great read for kiddos and adults alike. Reviewed by @meggs1717

Finally Friends is a delightful children’s book that masterfully intertwines a charming narrative about two unlikely friends with essential lessons in social-emotional learning. The story revolves around Donut the Dog, who longs for companionship, and Peanut the Squirrel, who initially struggles with the idea of building a friendship.
The book’s strength lies in its poignant themes of patience, communication, and understanding. Donut’s persistent yet gentle approach to making friends with Peanut serves as an excellent example for children navigating their own social interactions. The narrative demonstrates that friendships can take time to develop and that overcoming fear and misunderstanding is part of the process.

Finally Friends is a heartwarming story about patience, courage, and friendship. Donut is eager to find a friend, but Peanut is hesitant. Peanut must conquer their fears and learn to trust Donut, while Donut learns patience and understanding with Bobo’s help. This children’s picture book carries important messages for both children and adults. The story is beautifully complemented by Soraya Tavakoli’s wonderful illustrations, making it a great book for any child.

Although this book has a focus on brothers, this is a fantastic story that really captures what it is like to welcome a new baby into a family. It brought back a lot of lovely memories from when I brought my youngest home and it really felt like I was able to relive that again. I loved watching that sibling relationship develop. It was so heartwarming to see and my kids loved watching them discover more about each other. The illustrations really helped to bring this story to life even more. From the moment we started reading, this book was a hit. I would highly recommend this story and cannot wait for us to pick up another book by this author.

Donut is trying so hard to be friends with Peanut but nothing works. With a little help from another friend, Donut is able to learn that if she calms down then it will work out better. Peanut is scared of her because she looks pretty scary. Lovely story wih bright and colorful pictures that are fun to look at. It’s a delightful story that I loved reading to my grandchildren. They are all autistic and I thought it did a wonderful job to help teach some social skills about how being calm is better than hyper when apporaching new people. We will be adding this to our library due to it’s nice flow and wonderful characters. We look forward to new books in this series.

I enjoyed this story from this author, whom I never read before. The story was beautiful and meaningful. I read this with my grands that just welcomed a little brother so, they felt like the story was written just for them. I feel this story will help them be better siblings. The illustrations were beautiful. Will be recommending this author and specifically this book to others with kids.

Sweet book. I loved the artwork, the Halloween scene and colors had me super excited for Halloween! Gadrella doesn’t want to be the standard witch anymore, she wants to do things she likes, like riding a bicycle instead of a broom, or wearing something other than a pointy hat. The lesson here is to be yourself, do what makes you happy. The only dislike I had was the name of the other witches, I have no idea how to pronounce them, so it had me stuttering.
Very cute kids mystery book. I remember reading all sorts of kids mysteries as a child and this would have been one of my favorites. The characters are relatable and the mystery is believable. I would recommend this for a child.

This enchanting, full of heart, beautifully illustrated children’s story is about Gadrella, a 300 year old witch, who always does what she is told. She’s curious, steadfast, and strong, always wondering why this and what about that. She is most definitely prepared to take matters into her own hands and make those decisions and answer those questions herself. We loved reading this the month of Halloween.
Down By The River is a cute and entertaining little story that teaches children about nature and wildlife.

Luca Magoo loves school and everything he learns there, but his favourite subject is by far, art! So when his teacher shouts “Art” and invites them all to get creative and use their imagination, Luca cannot wait to get started.
So he gathers his materials and when he is ready, he picks up the bottle of glue and thinks about what it would be like if he had a taste, just a tiny drop of this gooey substance, but his teacher stops him before he can.
This is where his imagination goes wild and he thinks about what would happen if he did eat it, but what does the future look like if he eats the glue? This story is a great lesson for children to learn about how every action has consequences and how important it is to make wise choices when faced with a new situation and all done in an easy to understand way for all ages.

One day in a barn, a small pig was running around in the mud and sawdust when a group of children entered the barn and started to chase it around. This was not a random event though, whoever caught the pig could keep it!
Angela is one of those children, but there was also the town bully called Bruce and he wanted the pig too, so as one by one the children give up and leave the barn covered in mud and sawdust, only Bruce and Angela are left and they start to chase the pig in earnest, even when Angela gets poked on the eye.
Will Angela be able to use her persistence and determination to catch the pig and stand up to Bruce, or will the poke in her eye stop her winning? This is a fun filled story of a contest between the bully and bullied in a way which shows that kindness and determination can take you a long way in life.

The illustrations in this book are beautiful, bold, and very eye-catching. Angela and her small town are having a pig catching contest, and she is very determined to win this pig, but standing in her way is a bully by the name of Bruce. Her perseverance and determination get her the pig, but with it comes getting muddy and bruised. All the kids had fun, but many got tired and gave up giving Angela a better chance. Cute story!

Down By The River is a wonderfully written children’s book that children of any age can enjoy. My six year old son got very excited as I started reading. He even said this book was written for him. He loves being outside and exploring all the things that revolve around being outside, water, rocks. The illustrations were very colorful and helped bring the story to life. Get ready to be taken on quite the journey with different different animals, bugs,and so much more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Dylan and his sister Emily are at camp Leaf with their dog Theodore. After raining for 3 days, it finally clears up and the camp can have its usual camp games for all the kids to play. But when an important item goes missing, they might not get to do the camp games. Dylan, Emily and a few friends decide to sleuth out what happened and who took it. This is a great storyline with questions in the back of the book for teachers/parents to use to see how their little ones liked the book. About a 30 min read for I’d suggest second or third graders (8-10 yr olds). Cute illustrations in the book as well.

This is a really cute story. It is about a big brother telling his little brother how he will take care of him as he grows. He explains what they will do, and how they will have fun. It is a really sweet. I think it would be perfect for an older sibling who is welcoming a new sibling into the family.

Another great adventure is found in this chapter book. It’s great for our young readers. It was engaging and fun to read. Dylan, Emily and Theodore, the dog,do not go anywhere without Dylan’s detective kit. Once again it comes in handy while looking for the camp trophy. No games can be played until the trophy is found. Do you know what happened to the trophy? Who took it and why? I do! Oh wait, we read the story. What fun we had and the story is fast paced and kept the children interested. I love the parent and teacher activities in the back of this book. This author did a fantastic job with this fun-filled series. The story is well written and the characters work well together. This series is a must have!

Gadrella by Tricia Gardella – Review by Britney Humphreys
5 Stars from all 3 of us!
Gadrella is a young witch that is tired of the typical witchy things. She wants a change for all witches for the first time in 300 years, and she’s prepared to be the one to start switching things up. From her transportation, to her pets, to her potion and uniform-will the other witches join her or shun her?
This book is super cute, and teaches children that with small changes everything can change for the better. My girls (9 and 7 years old) loved the pictures and the over-all message. My youngest said she likes that it teaches people that things changing in life isn’t always a bad thing. My oldest said that she thinks more people need to learn that trying new things is really the only way to grow and change. I like that it teaches you to listen when your friends say new things might be better (and that Halloween doesn’t always have to be creepy-it can be cute, too).
Detective Dylan and the Thief of Camp Leaf (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series) by MJ Murray – Review by Britney Nicole Humphreys
Another 5 Star read from MJ Murray!
This book shows a realistic relationship between siblings close in age and shows how a big brother should treat his little sister. I love that the book has vocabulary words at the end and that it has access for math and ELA worksheets since we homeschool. This third book shows diversity and how to include differently abled kids in the best way!
In the first book, Dylan, Emily, and Theodore used their sleuthing skills to find out what happened to Mrs. Lane’s mail. Next, the trio discovered a bunch of pirates had stolen the bases from the baseball diamond. What will happen in this third book? They team up with a bunch of people at camp to find a stolen trophy! Who will win when the trophy is found? Will they be able to play the camp games?
My girls (ages 9 and 7) loved the whodunit aspect. They were writing the clues down as we read the book and trying to figure out who the culprit was. They loved reading about Detective Dylan, his sister Emily, and their adorable (and helpful) pup Theodore. My girls said they do not feel that Emily is a Tattle-tale, but we’ll leave that up to you to decide when you read the book.
I recommend these books for parents who have kids that are reluctant readers. My girls love to read, but I think this would work for kids who do not want to read chapter books. The chapters are short, there are pictures included throughout, and the book itself is 61 pages over 10 chapters. It took us about 45 minutes to read-and that is with the girls asking questions and guessing who did it and why.

A Pig and Poke is about Angela, an adorable girl participating in a pig chase. When Angela starts she seems afraid to catch a pig but by the end of the story, Angela succeeds in her goal. This is a great book to show children how to problem solve and never give up their goals. Angela shows children that you come out on top even when there are tons of obstacles. This book has wonderful illustrations. Young children will find the action of the story fascinating.

Such a cute little book for young kids!. My granddaughter (4) thought it was the funniest thing ever. She laughed at the rhyming and the hilarious pictures. Luca Magoo was definitely all boy and in to mischievous ways with the glue. The illustrations were colorful and bright and bought so much more dun to the story. Great story and great lesson for young curious minds.

Another cute tale in the story of Detective Dylan. Who stole the trophy? Dylan and his friends try to solve the problem. I enjoy this series because it realyy does a nice job of helping teach kids to problem solve. I read this series to my grandson and he loves trying to figure out who did it. We follow the trail just like Dylan. It has a nice flow to the story with great characters set up. I love the diversity of the characters. It is nicely set up for its target audience. We can’t wait for the next one.

Gadrella the witch is tired of all the same things. Brooms, frog toes, pointy hate and black clothes! Nothing ever changes for witches. Until Gadrella makes the change. Everyone scared of change at first. Then believe. What do you want to be for Halloween?
My 6 year old daughter had me read this to her twice immediately! Her favorite Halloween story! She loved the costume making and got the awwww for the bunny! She didn’t want to story to stop which should give this a lot more stars than the 5!! Loved this book and her reactions! (now if only I can pronounce the names)
This was a super cute book, and the kids absolutely loved it. the pictures were super cute and went really well with the story line and are very great illustrated. My kids loved this book right from the beginning and thought it was funny listening to the kids run around chasing a pig to catch it. They really hoped the bully didn’t win thou and were super excited on the outcome of the story. Angela really shows how you can stand up for yourself and all about patience and understanding. This was a great kid’s books.

Down By The River by Tricia Gardella . This is such a gorgeous book with its illustrations of streams and rivers. It a great kids book to teach them about streams and rivers and how important they are to humans and animals. It teaches that we all get water from them in more ways than one and that we can also get food from them. It also teaches kids the importance of rivers and streams as a whole to the world. With its beautiful pictures it grabs kids attention and helps them realize how important they are to our world. My 6 year old nephew loved this book and it would make a great gift for the youngster in your life. This author is becoming one of our favorite children’s authors.
