THE BIG MESS: A Deliciously Funny Story of Siblings Learning to Get Along ... BUY @ https://amzn.to/3YRbuu7 .... My review: This is an absolutely adorable children's picture book filled with soft, lively illustrations full of joy, mess, action, and splendiferous fun. A bizarre family with Mouse as big brother and Moose as little brother. Mouse cooks and creates dessert goodies and Moosie is flamboyantly active and destructive. ... Frustrated Mouse yells and screams at Moosie when his beautiful desert creations are ruined. There is so much mess! ... And then a bright idea on how they can work together to create wonderful deserts is born and everyone benefits. ... A really cute story told in rhyme that teaches a wonderful lesson of sibling cooperation and how to just simply get alone with each other and work together.

The Good For Nothing Puddle

MY REVIEW:  As you open the book the illustrations stark line-drawings are the first to capture your interest. Somewhat different from the usual children's picture book. Lots of black lines and grey shadings. No background imagery to flesh-out the starkness. It isn't weird. It's just stark and devoid of happy colors and brightness of spirit.

The book is directed to the heart of the grief process and the depth and weightiness that a child can experience when faced with grief and loss. Pictured is probably an elementary age child. Longish legs, slender build. Definitely not toddler or preschooler. But not a teen. So just how much "grief" and sense of "loss" does a child experience? I personally don't know and haven't had to deal with that for my own children. True, my children lost beloved grandparents through death and they were certainly sad. They loved and were loved by these dear ones. But I did not sense a depth of despair in their sadness. That is not to say that it doesn't happen. Loss of a parent or a sibling can probably wreck havoc on a child's spirits. So when it happens, those who care and tend the child need to have an arsenal from which to draw to uplift their spirits. 

In The Good For Nothing Puddle the child has deep seated pain from losing a loved one. She tries to push down her feelings of loss and get on with living, but it doesn't work and she begins to weep in despair. The result is a puddle - a good for nothing puddle.

Along come different personages that benefit from the properties of her little good for nothing puddle. She eventually realizes that the puddle does serve a good purpose. I found the book enlightening as to the grief, or loss, experience of a child. I found, too, that our sad emotions give us lessons that may prove beneficial to someone else that comes along in our lives.

Therefore, I think this is a beneficial book. Perhaps your child has a friend that is sad. Reading this book to your child may help him or her understand their friend's sadness. Or perhaps you will find the book and gentle story beneficial in helping your own child to handle deep-seated loss and grief emotions.

I recommend. Buy @ https://bit.ly/sadpudl

C is for Christian: An A-Z Treasury of Who We Are in Christ by Alistair Begg & illustrated by Emma Skerratt [Review & Giveaway]

ISBN: 9781802541069 Hardcover $17.99 (significant bulk pricing available) My thoughts:  This is such a treasure of a book. Each alphabet page is beautifully illustrated and will entice children to visually explore the details facilitating impacting their mind with items and ideas that use that specific letter of the English alphabet. Liberal use of deeper pastel shades of the color wheel are artistically splashed across the pages.

This unique ABC book provides guidance and opportunity for parents to assist their young children to comprehend big ideas and deeper theological understanding to young minds. 

I love this beautiful book and encourage families to make sure they have and use it with their children. I purchased a copy and gifted it to a young family and they love it.

About the book: Excite kids about how great it is to be a Christian with this beautifully illustrated treasury of theological truths. 

Going from A to Z, kids will learn about the amazing things that are true of us if we know Christ. For example:

A is for Adoption - we are children of God, part of his beloved family.

B is for Branch - we are connected to Jesus, the vine, and he gives us life and all we need.

C is for Citizen - we have a place in heaven, which is where we are heading.

Each letter teaches children about an aspect of our identity in Christ using Bible verses and clear engaging teaching by Alistair Begg. Reflection questions and prayers are included, making it possible to use this resource devotionally, such as for bedtime devotions or morning baskets. It can also be used as a kind of catechism, summarizing some of the Bible's truths about being a Christian. The alphabet format makes these theological truths easy to remember. Can be read to kids 4+ or read by kids 7+.

Children will be invited to praise, thank, and worship Jesus as they grow more excited about all the incredible blessings that come with being his friend. Secret word: study

Free downloads on website (including alphabet sheets).

GIVEAWAY Begins January 13, Ends February 12 @ 12:01 a.m. EST, Open to USA addresses only.
