My daughter loves watching Blippi videos, and I knew she would love this book, and she does! She's 2 1/2, and this is one of the few books we can read front to back without her trying to skip pages. I like that the text is prominent on each page, as well. I'm hoping this will get her as interested in the words as she is the pictures. Highly recommended for all Blippi fans!

If there's one thing I know I'm going to get with a Staci Hart book, it's laughs. Also swoons, and characters that I'm going to adore. I going to need some stories about Rin's roommates...just saying. I laughed at the Rin's awkwardness because I see so much of myself in her. If she were real, we'd be besties, I know it. The only thing is I wish I could read it for the first time again. I loved every bit of this book.

i love this book - as soon as i saw it, i love the style, the language, the interaction between the characters and the stories are whimsical vignettes of imagination. Thank you for such a lovely book - i just saw that there is another coming out soon and i can't wait!! My 2 yr old actually loves this book, too - i thought she wouldn't get it (and whether she does or doesn't), but she loves it - she's asked to read it over and over. i can tell that these are characters she will want to revisit many times as the years roll on.

This book showed up at my house earlier this week, and my five year old insisted that I read it to her, oh, the moment she first saw it.  I was happy to oblige.

She snuggled up with me, as this was a book that screamed out to be read all snuggled up.  She adored the amazing illustrations by Mark Elliott.  The first page has a little girl with her ponytails and in her footed pajamas, kneeling by the bed with her slightly older brother -- with mom ("whose ponytail looks just like yours, Mom!") peeking around to see.  Oh, yeah, she was totally enthralled.

The first time through the book I don't think she got much of a message.  She was totally engrossed in the illustrations.  And there are plenty of amazing lessons to be drawn just from them -- the very sad little boy on the steps, the boy wanting to go play instead of going to school.  We had some fabulous conversations.

On subsequent journeys through the story, she is starting to hear the text, and the message that God is there and God does care, and we can trust Him to take care of us.

Lovely book.  Absolutely lovely.

I bought The Magic of Esmerelda (Monday) for my Goddaughter and she was so excited when I told her that I had Tuesday for our next get together.  She learned a lot from Monday and I have refused to give her any spoilers regarding Tuesday.  After reading it, I know she will enjoy it just as much, if not more, as she is entirely enthralled by Esmerelda's magic life.  Tuesday contains wonderful life lessons for all ages yet is written so that my 5 year old Goddaughter can easily understand the lessons while engaging in her love for reading good books.  I plan to take her for an outside excursion to look at nature after reading Tuesday.

Ms. Wierman captures children's attention and curiosity with her skillfully written books.  It is remarkable how she can reach them at their level all while entertaining and teaching at the same time.

This is such a vulnerable book that will grip your heart and make you long for God's healing power in your own life.  Jamie shares her heart, her story in her new book, "If You Only Knew: my unlikely, unavoidable story of becoming free."  Jamie, likes so many of us, has things in her life, in her past, that she is so ashamed of and thought that it would be life-shattering if anyone were to find out; however this is something that would constantly weigh down on her and not give her the feelings of freedom that she so longed for, that her soul needed.  Jamie writes in a way that is so readable, so relatable, that it was as if she was speaking out loud to me while I was reading, that we were chatting, having a conversation over mugs of coffee, just like old friends.
 Not only are the words in this book like a healing balm, but it is such a nice edition too as it is a textured hardcover book with soothing colors.  I highly recommend this for anyone wanting or feeling the need to do a little soul searching and healing.

 *Thanks to the BH Bloggers Program for the complimentary copy of this book.*

My wife, thankfully, finally persuaded me to read this book, assured that I would really enjoy it.  She was right, once I got into it, I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter.  A wonderful book!

Rachels Back Talk:
5  winning covers

This book lived up to my expectations  and more! From looking at the front cover, I knew I would love this book and I was right. I fell in love with Brook, Justin, Deirdre, Lord Whitby, and Lord Worthing. The characters drew me in and the plot line kept me engaged all through the book.

Brooks character was wonderful! She was certainly a lively heroine and I loved how her spontaneous nature matched Justins cautious one so well. The two were so well matched, even if they thought they were just friends for so many years.

What was wonderful was the faith that both Brook and Justin had to learn. Justin had introduced Christ to Brook before, but it was at this time in their life, that they both realized that they had to rely on HIM and not each other to get through difficult times. It was a great reminder for us all!

I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for an honest review which I have given. All ideas are my own.
