My review of "Ten Sheep to Sleep" by Nidhi Kamra

12/13/2017

Ten Sheep to Sleep
by Nidhi Kamra
Illustrated by Eugene Ruble
 
Ten Sheep to Sleep, by Nidhi Kamra, is a counting tale with a twist.  Ten sheep from next door aren’t needed anymore and hope that young Sammy Jo will count them as well as the ten sheep she already counts before she goes to sleep.  Sammy Jo has many alternate suggestions, but it turns out her brother, dad and mother already count other things before falling asleep.  However, twenty sheep are too busy and disruptive for Sammy Jo…what ever will she do?  She solves the problem by counting in twos.
 
A fun take on counting sheep to sleep, showing many other possible items to count! Eugene Ruble’s illustrations are choc full of imagination – important, as so many people count so many different things in order to drift off.
 
Ten Sheep to Sleep is a great counting book that teaches kids about counting pairs—and more than just sheep.

My review of "All Time Hero" by Susan Bangert-Wood

All Time Hero
by Susan Bangert-Wood
Illustrated by Jack Foster
 
In All Time Hero, by Susan Bangert-Wood, a class of young students research and recite reports on their heroes/heroines.  Once Mrs. Jett, their teacher, explains what to do, each student reports on a number of different kinds of heroes – from fairies, to doctors, parents and Captain Combat!
 
I love how each student is very different in personality – some very nervous about speaking in front of the class, others exuberant, and others somewhere in between. It’s adorable that most of them choose to dress up like their heroes!  Seeing the various kinds of people the kids consider to be their heroes is also fascinating.  The last student’s presentation is the “all time hero.”
 
Jack Foster’s illustrations are bright and beautiful – they bring a lot of fun to the story.
 
All Time Hero is a great book for kids to learn about different kinds of heroes and heroines.  Children also learn language and grammar concepts, and about ways to do research and homework projects.
 
Please note:  I reviewed a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

A terrific review of "Tamara Turtle's Life So Far" from Feathered Quill!

12/7/2017

Check out this wonderful review from Feathered Quill Book Reviews:
By: Regan W.H. Macaulay
Illustrated by: Javier Duarte
Publisher: Mirror Publishing
Pubication Date: June 2017
ISBN-13: 978-1612253688
Reviewed by: Ellen Feld
Review Date: December 2017

Tamara the turtle, a red-eared slider, was just a baby when she found herself in the pet store. Placed in a small tank with other red-sliders, she was hopeful that somebody would buy her and take her home. Soon a young boy tapped on the glass and thought Tamara would make a good pet.

Tamara’s new home at the boy’s house was soon set up and life seemed good. She had a tank with clean water to swim in and a little dock for her to rest upon. But as time passed, the boy grew bored with the turtle. The water became dirty, feedings were forgotten, and Tamara’s shell grew soft – not a good sign!

Realizing that her son had lost interest in his pet turtle, the boy’s mother released Tamara into a creek that run behind their house. Poor Tamara! She didn’t belong in that creek! Would she survive being released into the wild, a place she definitely did not belong? Would she ever find a good, loving home?

Author Regan Macaulay has written a heartfelt story about the plight of unwanted pets – particularly turtles. Most of us probably know of a family that bought a pet on a whim – a dog, a bird, a rabbit – that eventually fell out of favor with the family. In the case of small animals such as fish and turtles, people think they’re doing the animals a favor by releasing them into the wild. The author, however, shows what a bad idea that is when readers see what happens to Tamara in that creek. The story does have a happy ending, and teaches young readers an important lesson along the way about the importance of caring for pets and the very necessary work that various rescue organizations do each and every day. At the back of the book is a two-page spread with a list of various organizations where further information on red-sliders can be found, as well as numerous turtle rescues that help find forever homes for these sweet little reptiles.

Quill says: A good tale to engage young readers and teach them the importance of caring for pets, as well as the necessary work rescue groups do for at-risk animals.
