Review:This book (or what I thought was a book) was only 1 page with a short poem on it! for $3.99 it was a rip-off. Not happy with this purchase. People should be aware of what they are getting. I expected at least a 5 to 10 page story book...not happy that I wasted my money and because it is a digital purchase there is no returns. Product descriptions should be more specific. Read more
Review:"Just In Case You Ever Wonder" by Max Lucado (illustrated by Toni Goffe) is such a sweet children's book! I can't wait to read it to my own children. It's a great way to introduce and remind children why they are special (God created them) and that they are loved immensely by God and their parents no matter what.
Lucado's simple language and measured rhythm makes for a great bedtime or anytime read for children. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging as well. Part of me wished it wa... Read more
Review:If you have a child, know a child, or just even need some encouragement as an adult—go get this book now! Because we all long and desire to know how we fit into this world. We all need assurance that we are deeply loved and a unique creation. And this book delivers on just that through vibrant and adorable artwork, and inspiring words.
It is a story told through the eyes of a narrator reminding a precious little girl that God made her, thinks about her, sees her, delights in her, and smil... Read more
Review:Saw the high recommendations and decided to check this one out. And goodness, was I disappointed. I'm a huge fan of adventure stories and was looking forward to the Indiana Jones feel of this. But I never got there. Too many irritating things drowned out any thrill of adventure. I read about 3/4 of the way through, then gave up. I felt no connection to any of the characters. The dialogue was too flat, the plot line too predictable, and the characters too unbelievable. The boys didn't talk like b... Read more
Review:This is an older book for younger readers, but if you have a child in love with horses you might want to check it out.
Dandi Daley Mackall packs a lot of emotion into this short chapter book. Winnie hasn't forgiven herself for events that changed the lives of her family, and that lack of forgiveness is reflected in pretty much everything she does. She's quick tempered, quick to judge, and rather rude.
But once you understand the heart, you can help change the behavior.

Review:I read some summaries or reviews about how this book taught kids about the promise of God or something like that with the flight path of this little bird. Well, I sure didn't see it. There is some very brief sentence about pondering about Gods promise, but that's all. The book has nice pictures, a few words per page and then this expensive book is over before you realize it. Maybe for 2 year olds that are impressed by every thing on one picture or two. If your child is 4 or older....this is... Read more
Review:The original fantasy books. The Narnia series are timeless with lots of great themes for children and adults alike: courage, human failing, defeat and triumph. I've been reading the series with the children before bedtime and they love it as much as I do. Read more
Review:This book for children is just as exciting as the adult version! My daughter is reading the Left Behind for kids and years ago I read the adult Left Behind. It was fun to hear about the connections between the characters in the 2 books, but The Vanishings can stand alone too. Read more
Review:"Nicolae High," by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, is number 5 in the "Left Behind: The Kids" series of short novels for young readers. "Nicolae" continues the overarching plot of the series, which is inspired by Christian fundamentalist theology. The book follows the adventures of a group of Christian teenagers during an age of apocalyptic mystery and horror. In "Nicolae," the kids' high school is renamed (as indicated by the title) after a powerful world leader, and the faculty begins to impl... Read more
Review:I LOVE this series. It is intriguing and suspenseful. I could literally not put the books down. It really gets you thinking, what if the world were to end right now? What would happen to me? Hands down my favorite series. A great read for young adults. Read more
