I really enjoyed reading Fly, Fly Again with my son, yesterday. They have a STEAM class, at school, so this was perfect for us to read. He’s 8, so he would read a page, then I would read a page. It’s such a cute book, about trying again. Jenny really dreams of flying, and she meets others along her journey, that help her out.
Fly, Fly Again is clever little story, perfect for children of all ages. The Daughter, and Mom, duo, wrote this book together. Fly, Fly Again introduces young readers to the concepts of flight – lift, gravity, thrust, and drag, along with pitch, roll, and yaw. Jenny and Jude accompanied by their pets, Kitty and Hawk, work together to build a flying machine. It is a fun story of adventure, teamwork, and perseverance that begins to lay a foundation for aerodynamics in an adorable picture book format.

My 22 year old, daughter, read I Don’t Like To Eat Ants to her class just the other day. The second graders loved it. They had a discussion about the book, and really enjoyed hearing Sarah read it. With just 29 pages, the lesson was a great one. She said the kids were still talking about it today.
My 8 year old, son, loved the book too. He has read it 3 times, over the last few weeks. He says he can’t get enough of the Anteaters. “Too cute!” he says.
“I don’t like to eat ants,” said Anteater One. “They don’t taste very good, and they tickle my tongue…”

Miss Olive Finds Her Furever Home is a true story, and a great book. We enjoyed reading it together, my son, age 8, and I. My daughter, age 22, then took it to school, for her class to read.

Pirates Don’t Go To Kindergarten! is a supreme book. If you have a child who is afraid to go to the next level in school, this book is for you. See Emma was in Preschool, and was afraid to move up to Kindergarten, but her Preschool teacher reassured her, and she went ahead. It’s a fantastic book to read to your little ones, especially right before school starts.
My little one is going to 3rd grade, but we read this together, and he loved it. My daughter is going into her last year of college, to be a teacher, and she can’t wait to add it to her books, for when she starts teaching. She said, Pirates Don’t Go To Kindergarten! is a special book that I think the kids I get will love”. I think she’s right.
Jacob is afraid of moving up, every year, because there’s change. This book has helped him see that change can be good. And, I really enjoyed reading it, with Jacob.
Pirates Don’t Go To Kindergarten! is very inexpensive, at only $6.99, and is a great asset for the new school year. You will love it, and so will your little ones.
I can’t wait for Sarah to have her own classroom, and be able to read this book to her students. It took the fear out of Jacob, for starting 3rd grade. This really is a miracle worker.

My 22 year old, daughter, who is a student, becoming a teacher, just finished reading There’s A Monkey In My Backpack! by Don M. Winn, and loved it. She says she can’t wait to implement it, in the classroom, this Spring. She’ll be student teaching her final semester, and she says it’ll be good for the kids she is teaching.
I love the book, and read it to my son, who is going into the Third Grade, just like in the book. He really enjoyed reading it, as well.
I really can’t wait for Sarah to take it into the classroom, so the kids can hear this amazing story. See, Anna has a friend, that’s a Monkey; or does she? You will have to read the book to find out, I don’t want to give too much away. It’s a very interesting story, and I understood it, as well as my kids did. I get it, and I remember school, and having the same issues as Anna.
Anna has a problem! There’s a monkey who goes everywhere with her–even to school! He never leaves Anna alone. He makes so much trouble for her that she wonders if she will ever finish the third grade, but she learns that her monkey can give her some surprising help if she lets it.

Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves is a wonderful children’s book. My 8 year old can’t get enough of Rosie. He loves reading it before bed, and early in the morning. He’s such a fabulous reader, thanks to this book. All he does is read it. Might be because they go to the pool, and he loves the pool. I love that my son is reading more and more. I just hope I can keep him reading over the summer. Especially if Rosie the Dragon and Charlie have anything to do with it.
Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves is a great book to pass on, as well. My 22 year old, daughter, is studying to be a teacher. She loves reading to her brother, as well. The two of them read for hours. Once Jacob has had his feel with this book, I’ll pass it on to Sarah, who can use it in the classroom where she’s teaching this Summer, and Fall.
Your family will love this book, and bookmark this page, because soon there will be a GIVEAWAY to enter to win a copy of the book, Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves. GIVEAWAY will be up by the end of the weekend.
