Growing Up & Facts of Life
Review:Love the book, but not happy with the service.
The professional, paper book cover was delivered wrinkled and torn.
I needed for a gift, so I emailed right away, but received no response.
The system that is supposed to handle problems, definitely needs to be updated and be made more "people who have given you years of service" user friendly. This one should have definitely been replaced, especially since it was given in memory of a great, "guitar-playing virtuoso, who went to heaven far ... Read more
Review:The title is misleading. The stories, if read aloud, feel like an eternity...my just turned three year old gets bored of them after 5 minutes, and we are not through with the story. Also, the pictures on the cover don't match up with the pictures in the story so that's frustrating when your child wants you to read "that one," referring to a picture. Read more
Review:The illustrations are cute, but this book bores my 2 year old daughter. The 'wisdom' is not very inspiring, a bit canned, and the storyline of a young fish named Adri seems disconnected from the bulk of the message. Anytime I offer to read this to my daughter she's not interested. Read more
Review:Kids have LOVED this book in play therapy sessions!! They’ve enjoyed the different endings. Even if they know the best answer, they’ve had fun experimenting with what happens when they choose not to do the right thing. Great bibliotherapy!! Read more
Review:This is a cute idea, but I do wish they had made some revisions before sending it to print. Saying that crying yourself to sleep is a good way to handle bedtime is a little ridiculous. Luckily my kid can't read and I make changes as I go. I was actually surprised at how much my kid likes this book, he usually hates anything too babyish (hes turning 6) but he asked for this book over and over because i really think it helped with his anxiety about kindergarten Read more
Review:I really like this story. I'm a follower of Jesus and I didn't find anything objectionable in it. It teaches girls that they are unique and to be thankful for the different qualities they have been given-like freckles etc- that makes them them. I talks about emotions too. I really like where it says something like if something doesn't seem right to just say NO. You can look on YouTube and find where people have taped themselves reading the book. I did that before purchasing for a neighbor girl. Read more
Review:The book came very quickly and was as stated. While it was short, it was just the right length for a parent to read aloud. The rhythm of the phrasing was 'catchy', and incorporated many of the other stories by this author. I recommend it as a little gift for a pregnant Mom. Read more
Review:I was quite hesitant when I picked up this book from the library. But, it was highly recommended. So, I thought why not... However, once I have started reading it, I was immersed in the story. The book is about the adventures of Prosper and Bo, who ran away from their dreadful aunt to Venice. Once in Venice, they bumped into Scipio, the Thief Lord, a kid himself with a mysterious identity. Scipio brought Prosper and Bo to his gang and gave them a "home". As Scipio took on a "big" job, his myster... Read more
Review:We have the whole series of these books. Simplistic for a toddler, this, naptime, feet not for kicking, tails not for pulling, biting are all excellent and helpful. All books have helpful types for parents and caregivers/babysitters. Read more
Review:I bought this book for my three-year-old who was having some trouble with bullying. This book's message is that if you have unshakable self confidence, you're not going to be able to be conquered by the bullies of the world. It's a little questionable in that respect, but the story and the illustrations are so endearing that I love it anyway. Ideally, I think we all hope that by building our children's confidence, we'll insulate them from at least some of the "slings and arrows" of this world... Read more
