Lindsay (1771 KP) rated Can You Find It? Cars and Trucks On The Road in Books
Dec 8, 2021
There are many things to find on each page. There are cars and trucks to count on each page; there are some mini-games for your child to play.
If you are looking for a book that will help teach your child or children their numbers. This one will do that. However, it adds more fun and enjoyment for your child or children to find the book. Children will keep themselves entertained for a few hours by finding and seeking different things throughout the book.
Can your child or children be able to help Mr. Giraffe find a few things at the end of the book on the last page? I have a feeling your child or children will want to pick up this book and reread it or have it read again and again. Parents can help by reading it to them though children can look at the pictures and try and find the objects or items.
It implies the book is for three-year-olds, but I think it could work for two-year-olds as well. That depends on the parents and if they choose it. Each child is different. This book will work for my young cousin who will be too soon. The pictures are colorful and done well.
Night Reader Reviews (683 KP) rated Fight for the Blue Planet in Books
Jan 9, 2020
One night in the middle of summer three children, Timmy, Adam, and Salma are visited by an alien. This alien, who calls himself Shack-Shack, tells the children of another alien race called The Targ who wants to take over Earth for its resources. Shack-Shack gives each child a special power (invisibility, shape-shifting, and teleportation respectively)and convinces them to fight against the Targ. Following a beacon signal.
Salma teleports them all onto a Targ ship and the fun begins as they start their battle with the Targ. At one point the children find their way onto another planet that the Torg are using for a prison of sorts and manages to free the leaders of another alien race whose species has resistance camps against the Targ all across the planet. Things are not all smooth sailing for the children though as multiple times they find themselves questioning the actions of their allies. Also at a few different times, these young children are faced with the moral dilemma of doing something for the greater good instead of a quick fix. The parents of these young children are completely unaware of anything unusual thanks to shape-shifting imposers that look and act just like their children. Will the children be able to save their home and return to their family or is their home going to be destroyed forever?
I really enjoyed the idea that the aliens chose children to help them out instead of adults and their reasoning for it is sound. They mention how children just accept their powers and abilities while adults would question everything. Also, adults would end up debating the circumstance among themselves until it is too late, while the children will just act right away. The one thing that I really did not like was the uses of double names for some of the aliens such as Sim-Sim and Lee-Lee. They made an otherwise good book feel unnecessarily childish to where I thought it was for a much younger age group than what I ultimately decided.
This is a childrens book for some middle school readers and younger. At the same time, I still enjoyed this book as a break from the normally heavy adult literature. It does have a few remarks and comments that would make an adult think about our entire races behavior. Overall, I give this book a perfect 4 out of 4. The story moves at a steady pace and introduces new characters and concepts without making the reader confused. This book is an interesting read for all ages.
