One Step at a Time: Hugo the Happy Starfish (review)

One Step at a Time: Hugo the Happy Starfish (review)
 
 
 
 
Hugo the Happy Starfish is a great read for children. Every book has a story that teaches something new.  One Step at a Time is no different. In this story, Suzy Leibermann teaches kids that if they take a long journey one little bit at a time, it makes it manageable.

This book has 28 wonderful illustrations welcoming you into this underwater world. This book is a great read aloud book for preschoolers and young children or even a self-read book for older children. I highly recommend for everyone who has children to buy Hugo the Happy Starfish.

Rayne Hall's Thirty Scary Tales Book Review
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m not big into horror movies or anything scary but Thirty Scary Tales is a wonderful book of short stories for all to read. This is a collection of 30 short stories, all of which have something  about them that make you well, frightened.  After each story, the author Rayne Hall, gives a brief note about how the inspiration for the story, which adds more eeriness to each story. This would be an excellent choice for young readers, it’s pg rated in my opinion.

Review: Princess Sophia and the Frog


Princess Sophia and the Frog
 
 
 
 
 
Princess Sophia finds herself alone and wishing she could fly to the moon as she sits in her beautiful castle.  Even though Princess Sophia has a lot of material things, she’s not  happy.
One day a frog visits Princess Sophia and says he will help her go to the moon.  As they fly high up in the air they land on different planets.  The frog helps Princess Sophia discover her feelings and he shows her that how she feels is how she acts towards others.

  When Princess Sophia goes back to her castle she has learned that she can be happy anytime and that really all she needs is good friends to make her happy.

  This book teaches children that we can be happy wherever we are.  It also shows them that good friends are also important.

As a mom of two and a daycare provider, I have already read this book to the kids and plan on reading it a lot more! I highly recommend any parent with young children to buy this book!
