I was lucky enough to stumble across this gem as I was browsing Amazon for children's books. The Adventures of Finn and JJ: Equation Salvation has become an absolute favorite in my household! This cleverly written tale embarks your child on a thrilling journey all while teaching them basic mathematical principles. The joy and empowerment my two daughters receive as they solve each equation is truly priceless. Thank you Collin for jump-starting my girls' interest in mathematics and God bless you for your service!

PS. If you're reading this, hurry up and release the next book...please :)

This is one of the best children's books I have ever read!  The author does a great job of using multiple nursery rhymes and the book has some great play on words.  This is a must-have in our library and I have also given it as presents to family members and teachers.

My children LOVE this book! The sweet story and pictures are so much fun. This would make a perfect gift.  It is a wonderful addition to our homeschool library.

This book is absolutely delightful! My three-year-old daughter loves to hear it read aloud, and I must admit that I, too, enjoy reading it aloud. The vocabulary and the opportunity for emotional delivery is just so much fun. There is also an element of audience involvement as the child can repeat the refrain "Run, run as fast as you can...." This is a must-have addition to your picture book collection.

A wonderful addition to any child's library. I'm so pleased at the price and quality of this touching story book. I would most certainly purchase this again. My little one loves reading this book!

I have three children, and this is a book they have returned to again and again, both to have read to them and to look at on their own. The illustrations are bright and cheerful, with the different pages showing different pages and the things commonly found there (e.g., the store, at home, clothing, etc.). Our first copy fell apart when child #2 was still a toddler from near constant use and being slept on, sat on and so forth, so I purchased a second one and it remains a hit with the current toddler. (Incidentally, my oldest child, was so attached to this book that when I bought the new one, she started crying when she saw the bits of the old one in the recycling bin.)

There are literally thousands of books tailored for toddlers, so many in fact that is difficult in making a decision on which book to buy. I can say that, "For Faithful Friends" is a welcome addition! The story is about a scared little turtle that is too scared to move. Fortunately, a friendly mouse has become his friend - the mouse brings him both food and companionship. One day the mouse offers something new, advice - he tells the turtle that through faith in God you can overcome your fears, since faith and fear do not mix. Later the mouse is put into a dangerous situation and the turtle is bravely there to save the day!

  Things that I enjoy -

- Great story with a strong message
- Appropriate illustrations
- rhyming scheme for the lyrics

Final Verdict - A welcome addition to the library of children who want to supplement their books on faith.

4 1/2 stars

I've been fortunate to read almost all the books by this author and she never disappoints. This book has captivating images and a wonderful lesson weaved into the story that you'll love sharing with your children.

Almost every child has either been the new kid at school or knows a kid who was the new kid. Children will learn the value of been accommodating to new children and sharing.

This book will make a worthy addition to your loved ones' library.

Wonderful addition to any family book collection! Milo and Lulu make even chores look like fun, but when the weekend comes and Absolute Mayhem sets in, the adventures really begin! Wonderful illustrations and clever story telling; this book is a real joy! Parents will enjoy sharing this book, and kids will spend hours looking at the bright, bold drawings and the delightful characters. The lesson, that we need both order and a serving of mayhem to balance out life, is just wonderful!  Great gift idea for young readers.

My twins are five years old and in 4K. We first heard of books by Mo Willems from school so we decided to check out all of them from our local library (we had quite the stack at one point!). My kids love them so much we are building our collection of all of the Elephant and Piggie books!

Should I Share My Ice Cream? is a cute and funny addition to the Elephant and Piggie series by Mo Willems. I don't want to spoil the story so I won't provide any information other than saying Gerald the Elephant has a big decision to make and friendship plays a key factor. As usual, Elephant and Piggie's friendship is fun to see and it sets a great example to kids too.

This story has beautiful illustrations like all other Elephant and Piggie books. It is 57 pages long but the overall story is fairly short since each page only has a few words on it. The book is a beautiful hardcover with thick, sturdy paperback pages that will stand up to many, many readings.

My kids have also made great progress with reading because of these books! Many pages have short sentences so you can have your kids spell out words and you can point to each word as you read it. These books are geared toward the four to eight year old crowd but there is no reason why younger and older kids wouldn't enjoy them.

Overall, you won't be disappointed if you buy this book as well as all of the other Elephant and Piggie books! Our whole family loves them and they are worthwhile purchases. I feel they are great for kids who are learning to read too! Go ahead and buy the book already!

This book is for anyone who loves picture books. This is also for anyone who has been brainwashed to believe that it's time to set picture books aside when your child reaches the 3rd or 4th grade. There is real value in these books with powerful words and moving artwork. Cay Gibson has shared her affection for these books as well as categorized recommendations based on topic, audience, and theme. It is a treasure trove of literature suggestions that will lift up your family as you share time together discovering some previously unfamiliar gems.

This is so much more than a booklist! It will become a forever favorite at the library as well as at the bookstore; mine is right next to me at the computer!

We received our copy yesterday, and already I've read it to my kids at least ten times - they cant get enough of it! The book has been written beautifully in rhyme, and the illustrations are vibrant and very intriguing for my children. What I love most is that I can read the story to them in both English and Punjabi, which is really important to me as a parent trying to teach my little ones Punjabi as well. Also fantastic is that the author included education material in addition to the story - food, recipes, songs and a glossary. I am buying more copies for my nephews and would highly recommend this to everyone!

I love this book, It has colorful illustrations starring the carrot loving canine BF.  It has become a favorite book in my collection and I have shared it with a couple of parents of toddlers.  The children pull this one off the bookshelf when it is storytime.  Great story and attention grabbing illustrations!  Highly Recommended, even my "tweenager" loves it. It may even inspire a veggie phobic child to give a carrot a try!

Wonderful book! I bought this book and the author's other books for my niece and my son (3 and 5y.o.) and both LOVED them. The stories are well written and the pictures are adorable. It's also nice to see children's books feature children of diverse backgrounds. This was a great story for helping the children in my life understand more about all of the wonderful parts of their culture and backgrounds!
