Halloween Monsters, by Eric Guth – 4 Star Review!!

Story Rating: ****
Cover Rating: A

This was an interesting book, filled with fun facts about varying types of monsters. There’s also a section at the back of the book dedicated to different types of animals that hold a place in folklore or superstition. My kids both really enjoyed the book. The two-year-old was fascinated with the images, and my 11-year-old loved the interesting facts. Even I learned a few things in this book.

The illustrations were enjoyable. My daughter especially enjoyed that the illustrations were in the shape of the monsters, but compiled of certain elements or attributes creating the monster’s story.

I had just one complaint about the book. The fonts used throughout the book were difficult to read in certain instances. If I could suggest a singular thing to improve the book, I’d suggest aiming for more readable fonts – especially since the book is meant for children, as they may find it even more difficult to read. That, however, is my singular complaint and myself and my kids really enjoyed the book.

The cover is eye-catching and offers an accurate depiction of what readers should expect to find inside the book.

The Song Garden, by Vicky Weber (Illustrated by Zoe Mellors) – 5 Star Review!

Story Rating: *****
Cover Rating: A

This is a sweet, whimsical story about a young girl who is determined to create a “song garden” on her own, without the help of her parents. The story has a great lesson in it about being brave, taking chances, and not hindering your own creativity. Because, after all, there are no wrong choices when it comes to creating something. Throughout the book, there is information about music that children can learn.

My son really enjoyed this story. The illustrations are captivating and he really liked that the story had an older sister and much younger brother. That’s how our family is, so he kept saying the older girl was his sister and he was the little boy.

The cover is eye-catching and accurately depicts what readers should expect to find inside the story.

Taino Tales: The Secret of the Hummingbird, by Vicky Weber (Illustrated by Olha Melnyk) – 5 Star Review!

Story Rating: *****
Cover Rating: A

This is a beautiful retelling of an old Taino legend about how the hummingbird was created. The way the story is retold is both easy for children to understand but not “dumbed down” either. I enjoyed the story and found the illustrations bright, colorful, and descriptive.

This book has quickly become my son’s favorite book. He has me read it to him at least once a day – and sometimes more! The pictures invite him to ask questions and look closer to see all the details. He calls it his “bird book” and sits eagerly waiting for the part where the man is transformed into a hummingbird.

The cover is very eye-catching and offers an accurate depiction of what readers should expect to find inside the story.

Richard Quisenberry’s legacy is to make communities stronger. To do that, he informs them, equips them, and empowers them — in part as a transformation life coach, serial-entrepreneur, author, father, husband, best friend, child of God, lifetime learner but also as a modern brand acting as a force for the greater good. And in doing so, he is fostering deep and vital connections between the members of our communities and the world around them.

Focus and design your visions, dreams, and legacy to outlive you.

Richard Quisenbury (Coach Quis) has achieved and is still in pursuit of every dream he has set his mind to, including graduating from college, becoming a principal, driving across the country, learning many hobbies, traveling out of the country, falling deeply in love, creating a beautiful family, and identifying his life purpose, to name but a few.

With over 40 years of experience in the educational industry, Coach Quis is just as passionate today, as he was on his first day, about developing tomorrow’s personal and professional leaders. As said by Coach Quis, “If you want a different result, you must be willing to first take a different action. With the near epidemic proportions of unhappy employees, the need for personal and professional integration has never been more imminent.”

Note that he didn’t say work/life balance; he believes such a thing is both impossible and undesirable for we spend a disproportionate amount of our time working. Instead, the goal is to integrate all aspects of life so we thrive at our careers & our personal lives equally as well, where we aren’t leaving a part of us behind as we spend our days at work wishing we were somewhere else… anywhere else; or trying to be home with our children while distracted by the things not getting done at work. Instead of balance, it’s the power of presence we seek.

The Angel Ornament by Steven Poston & Penny Weber – 5 Star Review!

Story Rating: *****
Cover Rating: A

This is a sweet children’s book that reads well and teaches a valuable life lesson on the importance of things. Having always been more of a sentimental person myself, I appreciate what the book is trying to teach. The illustrations are beautiful and captured the attention of both my children – ages two and ten. I think this book would make a wonderful Christmas present for families with  younger children, and highly recommend it.

The cover is eye-catching and offers an accurate depiction of what readers should expect to find within the book.

Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss – 4 Star Review!

Story Rating: ****
Cover Rating: B

A Dr. Seuss classic, this book has been around for a long time. As a child, I loved the silly rhymes. As an adult, I really enjoy that it teaches my children a broader vocabulary (whether for speaking or reading, depending on the age) in a fun, silly way. As is typical of a Dr. Seuss book, the illustrations are bright, colorful, imaginative, silly, and fun.

The cover is moderately eye-catching and offers an accurate description of what readers should expect to find within the story.
