The Moon Shines Down

Today, I read my children “The moon shines down”. My boys are 7 and 2. They were fascinated by it. The illustrations are colorful and fit the story perfectly. They had fun looking for the Koala on every page. There are a variety of animals for kids to look at. Some they had never heard of, and so we went online to look them up. As a mother, I appreciated the diversity of the children, and the different countries that are portrayed in the story. This of course led to a discussion about how God created the entire world. And I was able to show them where the countries are located on the globe. My favorite page was the Nativity Scene. The rhyme is repetitious, allowing children to read along. The book is very durable, allowing it to last for years to come. I believe Margaret Wise Brown, would be proud of the way her unfinished story has been completed. I plan on buying this book for my niece. It was beautiful.

My Little Girl by Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw wrote a fun but simple story of a father and daughter spending the day with one another. They do nothing in particular, but the entire day is special to them. They look at animals, dance, swing, and look at the clouds. This book shows the great bond that a father and daughter have. Julia Denos has done a beautiful job with the illustrations. They are colorful and fun to look at. The end of the book has a page where a dad and daughter can write about their own special day. This book will be a favorite for little girls.

Welcome to my blog

I am a mom of 2 boys, and have been married for 9 years. During my spare time, I scrapbook, make videos, and read. My family enjoys sports, board games, and traveling.

Please check back often, as I will be reviewing books and movies. I am always looking for a new book to read. I prefer Christian fiction. I also enjoy reading books that help me grow and challenge me to think differently about things. My 2 sons love books, and so I will review many children's books.

When it comes to movies, I like a many genres. I like comedies, drama, chick flicks, and family films.
