Is it Warm Enough for Ice Cream? by DK is a simple book about seasons. It asks each season if it is warm enough to eat ice cream. It is a quick and simple read for early learners. It reviewed the seasons and if each one was the right time for Ice cream. In each season the story gave ideas for what happens during that time and what activities you could do in that type of weather.
Each page describes a season of the year. Toddlers will learn about different items that show up in the season highlighted. Finally, it’s warm enough for ice cream and the colors pop even more than on the previous pages.
This book made me want to create a list of things to achieve for each season- like Ice Skating, wandering through the woods, looking for hiding animals, flying kites, and definitely eating ice cream.
I received an ARC from DK Children via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I give this book 4/5 stars.

A game that is more fun than it should be...
We played this game by sheer accident. it was at a local convention in the play to win games, we picked it up and tried it out and spent the next 1/2 hour laughing at ourselves. I almost don't want to tell you how to play so that you'll give this game a try blind, which is maybe what made it even more fun. The quick gist if you really must know, is there are points for building your little structure in certain ways, like no red above a green, or no yellow below a black or a green and black can't touch. Sounds way too simple and easy, but yet it's not... and it's timed, so you only have a short window to make it happen as fast as possible.... I hope your not clumsey.... This would be a great kids game, and yet we were all adults playing and having a blast.

I steuggle with finding books that really draw me in. As a fast reader, I also strugfle with page count, and I hate books that are predictable. Scythe fit me needs, and the exceeded them.
In a world where death is a myth and the Thundercloud (today's "cloud's" big brother) rules, it seems that no one could live a less-than-perfect life. But with humans able to "turn the corner" and become young again, where will the new blood go?
Enter the Scythes. Killing machines wrapped in rainbow colors, they glean the sould of others based on statistics of how people would have died in the Age of Mortality. But Scythe Farraday has changed the game--instead of just one apprentice, he has taken two. Now Citra and Rowan have a choice to make... Because there is only one ring to be granted.
This was a stunning un-put-downable book that kept me enthralled, guessing, and truly bound up in its pages. If you haven't read this yet, give it a shot!

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Wonderland: A Coloring Book Inspired by Alice's Adventures in Books
Jan 2, 2019
Alice in Wonderland has always held a certain appeal for me. The wild colors and names. Abstract ideas. I even played the role of the Cheshire Cat in our high school production. How thrilled I was when I opened Wonderland and found myself absorbed in the world of White Rabbits with pocket watches, Dodo birds, Mad Hatters and THE Queen of Hearts. There are nine "chapters" and at the beginning of each one is a short summary of the story as I venture through Wonderland. The illustrations are beautiful and they allow my imagination to soar. There are puzzles along the way as well. (And the answers are in the back of the book.) Thick pages with printing on both sides. Easy to draw on with colored pencils. Let your creativity run free in this marvelous story and express your own personality in Wonderland!
