Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Sweet Breath of Knowing in Books
Apr 27, 2018
Ever get a book request and it sounds great, then you receive it and it's not at all what you expected and it goes against your beliefs? This sums up my reaction to SWEET BREATH OF KNOWING. I thought it was about knowing our reason on earth, and about God and stuff. It is more like children are enlightened and we become us by love and....weird stuff like that, stuff that I don't agree with. Sadly I can't finish this one.

What a wonderfully creative way to play memory games! Children of all ages benefit from stretching their memory from time to time, and as a clear part of a child's development, it's essential. This book adds to the parent/educators repertoire and gives options of how to engage an individual on their personal level. These images could also be used for a range of other ideas with little minds such as where would you find ... ? and what else is with ... ?
Illustrated to attract a young child, the advanced colours chosen to identify the alphabet are way beyond what most younger children and even many adults will ever want or need. But, with that being said, there is never any harm in expanding a youngsters vocabulary by introducing a more complex concept that red isn't always called red, nor is marigold always a flower. As for jade, quartz, turquoise and razzamatazz, well they are cool words whatever the colour they are attached to.

With beautiful illustrations and interesting subject matter, this book is a win-win with curious children. and although it is quite short, it fills a child with wonder and lets them take in what they want before progressing to more challenging reading material. Welcome to the deep ocean and explore the life and surroundings of this fearsome creature.
I am reviewing this book for Luann Columbo, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.

The only book to give me a nightmare
In nearly 30 years of being an avid reader, this is the only book to have ever given me a nightmare. I woke up terrified multiple nights in a row while reading this book. The details described are gruesome and difficult to read without experiencing the horrors described within the pages.
This book is especially terrifying for anyone who is a parent. Even more so for those with small children.

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Zap! I'm A Mind Reader in Books
Feb 15, 2018
This is a funny book. It tell you a story about how Zack became Mind Reader. He was doing an experiment in science class. While he was doing the experiment he did something you should not do when your hands are wet. I do not want to give away how and what happens to him.
This teaches you about science a bit and it also teaches you that you should not do. It is an educational and great for Children and young readers.

We Worship God by Nancy Streza is a beautiful book for preschool and elementary school aged children. The illustrations are wonderful and really add to the message. This is a very nice approach to the ABC's. It is rooted in the Bible and in the qualities that Jesus portrays. Each page covers a letter to the alphabet. This story not only teaches the alphabet but also about Jesus.
I received this ARC from NetGalley and Xist Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

Overall not a bad book - I really enjoyed listening to it over reading - I like the back stories now of those that are at the home, etc. - The twins were actually some of my favourite children in book 1 so getting to know them and their past and their door was actually pretty amazing - I kept getting confused between Jack/Jill I won't lie - and unexpected romance of sorts happened too and I am living - can't wait to continue the series
