"An Alphabet Trip to the Limerick Zoo", E-Book review

I love children's books. I have avery large collection of childrens books and I seem to add to it more and more. Thats why I was more than happy to review "An Alphabet Trip to the Limerick Zoo", written by Jeannette Ramirez, Illustrated by The AIC College of Design. This book is so adorable. Every letter has an animal attached to it and the book is in perfect limerick writing. The drawings are amazing, the artist did a fantastic job.
I read this book to a group of two and three year olds at my child care center and they loved it!! Along with the book came a coloring book that followed all the pages and the animals so you can choose which animal is your favorite and then color the page that goes along with it. The kids had a fun time hearing about the different animals and the silly things that they do at the Zoo. Their favorite one was the "G" Gorilla
"A Gorilla is looking at me
And if I touch my nose, so does he.
When I stick out my tongue
He does too, for among
Other things, he's as smart as can be."
The picture of the Gorilla is him picking his nose!!!

After we were done reading the book, the kids all choose which animal they wanted to color from the book and then we made a little zoo on the bulletin board of all their pictures.
I would reccommend this book to EVERYONE! The pictures alone are worth it.
Now that Kindles, Nooks, and Ipad tablets are in color you can get the book and see the beautiful pictures for yourself.

"Slippery Willie's Stupid Ugly Shoes," E-Book Review

I love children's books and finding new children's books that I have not heard of before so when I was given the opportunity to review "Slippery Willie's Stupid Ugly Shoes" I was pretty excited. This book is written by Larry Petereson and this is his debut children's book.

Slippery Willie Synopsis:
Willie Wiggles hates his slippery feet. He just slips, slides and spins all over the place. But what he hates even more are the special shoes that have been made for him that will help him to walk just like all the other kids. Willie thinks that they are the "stupidest, ugliest shoes in the whole world."

Larry Peterson Bio:
Larry Peterson was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. As a freelancer, he has written many newspaper columns for local publications. Slippery Willie's Stupid, Ugly Shoes is his first children’s book. Peterson has lived in Pinellas Park, Florida for the past 28 years.

I read this book to one of the three year old pre-school classes at my child care center. They laughed their heads off when they were hearing about how Willie slipped and slided all over the place. One of the kid's said that they wanted slippery feet so that they didn't have to clean their room. They could slide away from Mom when she asked them to go to their room and clean. I thought that was pretty clever!!
Once Willie starts wearing the shoes, unfortunately everyone starts laughing at him and said they were the "stupidest, ugliest, shoes they had every seen!" This made Willie really sad and he did not want to wear them ANYMORE!! I don't want to give the ending away so you will have to get the book to find out what happens with Willie.

When we were done with the book we talked as a class about how we need to except everyone's differences. We talked about how everyone is different, some have brown hair, some have blonde, some have red. Some have blue eyes, some have green. Some wear glasses and some have braces, but we are all special and unique. Then the kids made a list for the class of how different we all are and they drew a picture of themselves and how they are different. This book teaches that differences are okay and that its okay to except them.

I really like this book because of the GREAT moral that it gives to the kids. If you want to learn more about the book you can check out more information

Prefense Non-Alcohol Hand Santizer Review and GIVEAWAY!!

Sponsored by Tomoson.com


I probably wash my hands about 20 times a day, if not more often. Working in a child care center I am either wiping noses, changing diapers, dishing out food, etc, etc, etc!!!! So I am costantly washing my hands and using hand sanitizer all day long! I was really excited when I got the chance to review Prefense Non-Alchol Hand Sanitizer.

This hand sanitizer is a foaming hand sanitizer and does not have that "dry out your hands" feel to it. Also I can put it on once and not worry about how often I wash my hands or get them dirty I am covered for a whole 24 hours, yes thats right, it lasts 24 hours with only one pump!!

I really like this hand sanitizer for a few reason:
1. Alcohol free, that means that I can have the kids use it and its safe for them to put their fingers in their mouth
2. It foams, which is also fun for kids, its make them want to use it
3. It last for 24 hours so I am not putting it on ALL DAY LONG!!! Over and Over and Over again!!

Prefense Non-Alcohol Hand Sanitizer is FANTASTIC!! I would reccommend this to ANYONE!!!

You can purchase Prefense Non-Alcohol Hand Sanitizer from their website http://www.prefense.com
You can also purchase it from Amazon

Right now they have a special where you can get the 1.5oz bottle and a container of their hand wipes for only $7.99! This is like buying one and getting one for a $1 since they are both $6.99 each. What a great deal!!

Or you can WIN one of their 8oz bottles here!! Their 8oz bottle has 640 applications so if you only use it once a day (because it lasts 24 hours) then it could last almost 2 years!!

Python Printable Games-Review

As most of you know, I am the Assistant Director of a Child Care Center here in Salt Lake so when I was asked to do a review on printable games and coloring pages for Fall I was really excited! We are always looking for new and exciting things to have the kids color and take home or just activities to do. I have to say that I was a little disappointed when I actually downloaded the PDF and saw what the 57 pages entailed. Now remember the title for this is "Fall printables, games, coloring pages, and invitations." I was looking forward to some really fun things for my children to play with. Unfortuantely I was pretty dissappointed!!
This is definately NOT geared towards kids AT ALL. Of the 57 pages that were in the PDF only about 15 were kid friendly coloring pages and I would only be able to use about 10 for my classes. All of the games that were included were geared towards adults. Some of the questions I didn't even know the answers to.
You can only access this ebook by being a subscriber of the Python Printable Games newsletter. If you want to see for yourself on these printables you can go to python-printable-games,join their newsletter and get the pages.
If I was planning a party with ADULTS ONLY then I would probably use some of the printables available on this but unforutantely for my child care center I would not use it again. I was very dissappointed.

"A Different Kind of Hero", ebook review

I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to review a new book tiltled "A Different Kind of Hero", written by Leah Beth Evans

This story is about a monkey named Tomagochi who lives in teh rainforest with his friends Peshe the tiger and Mocho the Tucan. Tomagochi was a little sad because he did not feel special at all, he did not feel like he had any special talents or abilities like his friends did. Until one day some mean men came into the rainforest to cut it down and Tomagochi "swings in" and saves the day!!

Here is the bio of the Author

Leah Beth Evans was inspired to write her story as a 4th grade student after studying about the rainforest. She continues to enjoy writing stories and poetry. However, her story A Different Kind of Hero has always been one of her favorites.

Colleen, a lifelong resident Throop, PA, earned a BFA in illustration from Marywood University in 2002. Since that time, she has worked part-time as a freelance illustrator specializing in animal-themed work. She enjoys creating her art using mostly watercolor and pastel. As a dedicated animal rights activist and full-time program coordinator for International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR), Colleen lives her dream of joining her passions for animals and art to promote a more harmonious world with a touch of beauty. Recent works produced by Colleen include t-shirt and invitation designs, children’s book illustrations, and book covers. Colleen has also teamed up with her very talented artist mother, Kathy Holmes Gedrich, and paints murals for children’s nurseries.

I read this book toa group of my kids here at the Child Care Center where I work and they LOVED it. They want their teacher to read it to them everyday. They also wanted to have a little fundraiser to raise money to plant trees on our playground!!! I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to teach children to respect appreciate the environment, or to anyone who thinks they are too small wo make a difference. To find out how Tomagochi saves the day you can purchase "A Different Kind of Hero" for yourself!

"A Different Kind of Hero" can be purchased for $14.95

*No matter how long we go without taking, we pick it right back up
*She is beautiful!!!!! Inside and out
*She is always 100% honest with me, whether she thinks I should hear it or not
*I know that no matter what she was doing, if I needed her, she would be on the next plane out
Those are just a few, I will post more reasons why I am thankful for her next week!

BrytonPick floss in seconds, REVIEW

We have all done it.....sat in a restaurant and tried to get that small piece of food out of our teeth and have used eveything possible to do it with and usually without solving the problems. Now you can use the wodnerful new product BrytonPick, floss in senconds

From their website:
BRYTONPick – FLOSS In Seconds Advantages:
• Convenient & faster interdental cleaning
• Reusable - up to 30 days, less waste, less environmental impact
• Germ resistant - flexible & thin stainless steel edges
• Portable – go anywhere credit card size carry-pouch

So I have to be honest, when I first tried this I was NOT a fan. It seemed kindof hard to use and it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. BUT after a couple tries I finally got the hang of it and I really liked it. One thing I really like about it is that is re-useable and it has a little carry pouch. You are not throwning something away EVERYTIME that you use it. I dipped mine in some hydrogen peroxide and then put it back in the little pouch and it fit perfectly in a little pocket in my purse.

The Small size makes it VERY convenient to put in your wallet or right into your purse. I actually think I might need a couple more to put in my glove box just in case I forgot to put it back in my purse. This is a great product and would definately recommend going to their website at
www.brytonpick.com and learn more about it. You can also watch videos on how to use it on their website too or by clicking here http://www.freequicky.com/
