This is the cutest story that I have ever read in a while. I loved everything about this book. The story kept me smiling from ear to ear.

Ameer is an amazing character and I loved reading about him and his imaginary friend, Jack's adventures. This story brought me back to my childhood with my imaginary friends. 

The illustrations are breathtakingly beautiful. The details were amazing and just fit the story perfectly. The illustrations are so full of bright, eye popping colors and it made looking at them so much fun. This is one story that many parents will enjoy reading to their children and many children wanting to have it read to them everyday many times over. I highly recommend this read.

Tyler is an average 5th grader, except for one thing. His pants won't stop talking!

REVIEW: Henry and the Hidden Treasure by B.C.R. Fegan

Henry and the Hidden Treasure is an imaginative adventure a young child has in defending his pocket money against his little sister. Henry constructs elaborate defensive measures that he is sure will stand up to the clever ambitions of Lucy. Little does he know, Lucy has a few tricks of her own.

With a focus on introducing children to the use of ordinal numbers, Henry and the Hidden Treasure also draws out some important qualities of being a kid – such as creativity, the value of listening to parental advice, and of course, being nice to your sister. 

   

This was an adorable story. I loved Henry's imagination. He reminded me so much of my childhood and how my imagination would be fun and adventurous.

The illustrations were magnificent and so full of color and so eye popping. I felt like I was on Henry's adventure with him just by the illustrations. 

The story-line was phenomenal and so much fun to read.

This is a wonderful children's story and I can imagine children wanting to re-read this story every night before bed for years to come. I highly recommend it!!

REVIEW: Joyful Trouble by Patricia Furstenberg

A humorous read about an incredible dog and how he had found his true, yet unexpected calling.

A dog. A friendship. A purpose.

When a Great Dane arrives in a navy base nobody expects him to win everybody’s hearts, although breaking some rules along the way. But things soon turn sour as somebody threatens to put him to sleep. Who will stand up for this for-legged gentle giant? Tackling universal themes and voicing animal rights and the importance of fighting for what is right.

What an amazingly delightful and fun true story about a dog!! I am a sucker for true stories about brave animals and this story found its way into my heart. This is a powerful story full of warmth and sadness. There are some feelers in this story, but it will fill you with such love and compassion for this incredible animal. This is remarkable read that parents and children alike will fall in love with and it would make a phenomenal bedtime read. I highly recommend it.

REVIEW: The Grumpface by B.C.R. Fegan

The Grumpface is a poetic fairy-tale that tells the story of Dan, an inventor who ventures into a forest looking for a rose. Instead he finds the mysterious Grumpface who threatens to hold him captive unless he passes some difficult challenges. What follows is a humorous adventure that neither Dan nor the Grumpface could have anticipated.

The Grumpface is a tale in the spirit of any grand adventure. It is about a clumsy young inventor's quest for love and the challenges he must face to find it. It is also a tale of bravery, absurdity and happiness, and the power of these qualities over negativity and sheer grumpiness.

Every parent will be acquainted with their own little 'grumpface' now and then. This story stands as a small piece of hope - that no matter how ingrained the grump, there will always remain in every one of us a smile or a laugh just waiting to come out.

PRE-ORDER

This was a cute story. I loved how the book rhymed throughout the story. The pages were full of color and was very eye catching and the story-line had a great lesson to be learned.

I am giving this story four stars because the author mentioned that Bella's hair was white as snow, but the illustrator made her hair yellow instead of white. Some children will pick up on that. Other than that, I really enjoyed this story and do highly recommend it as a great bedtime story for children and parents.
