Glad Monster, Sad Monster
Glad Monster, Sad Monster

Review:There are seven emotions that are highlighted - each has a mask (a perforated page that you tear out) as well as 3-4 examples of what happens when the monster is glad/sad/silly/angry/scared/etc.

Each mask has eye-holes and a nose hole which my 4 and 2 year old kids really like.

There is a "storage pocket" in the back of the book so you can keep all of the masks in there. The thing is that it's only barely large enough to fit them so it's a pretty tight fit.

Note that one pag... Read more

Review:My son likes this book. It is fun and entertaining and the repeating phrases make it easy to 'read along' with. I like the cut out pages that make it really fun to look at. It can also help kids get over fear of a monster. Read more

52 Family Friendly Experiments from Around the House (Lab Series)

Review:This book is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to introduce children to fun science experiments. My 3 year old daughter loves this book. So far her favorite one was the "Rock Candy" experiment. She loved checking on them daily, and of course getting to eat it at the end. This book has really easy to follow directs and awesome pictures. I also like that a lot of the ingredients are items you can already find in your house. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

The Abominable Snowman/Journey Under the Sea/Space and Beyond/The Lost Jewels of Nabooti (Choose Your Own Adventure 1-4)

Review:This is a great starting point for reluctant readers and boys who don't know what to choose -- there are more than 30 books in this genre. The stories are set in the real world, but with some mysterious or mythical element to keep the hair up on the back of you neck! The first few pages give you the story line. At the end of each passage, you reach a decision point from which the story unfolds in a direction of your choosing. For example, you can go to the movies with your new friends - jump to ...

My Book of Little House Paper Dolls - The Big Woods Collection

Review:This was a small simple gift added to the requested birthday gift of a Little House DVD from my to-be 7-yr old grand daughter. It has been well over 2 months and I got another message today from my son that Addie and her little sister love playing with the paper dolls almost every day. They were in the car and the girls asked to hurry home to get back to the paper dolls, again! Who knew such a simple thing would be so loved? Read more
