We were hoping that this book would elicit discussion with our kids about anxiety but they just didn't see themselves in Wilma Jean. It was creative and entertaining though.

Hilarious and filled with wit. Perfect for the narrator who loves to do silly voices and accents. Nobody compares to Skippito!

Despite the interesting subject matter, this is a very plain book. It is mildly entertaining but very forgettable. The illustrations are fun.

Wonderful and sweet in every way. The book carries the important message that both kids and parents feel sadness when they have to part ways for the day. The illustrations are stunningly beautiful. This is on f my kids' favorites.

Shatner is surprisingly funny and smart in this book. He doesn't take himself too seriously and it certainly helps his cause. A very entertaining read.

This review is from: Birdy's Smile Book (Hardcover)
This book is like those super-perky and high-strung morning people. It's ok for a few pages and then it gets annoying.

Tacky and the Emperor
Tacky and the Emperor
by Helen Lester
Edition: Paperback

5.0 out of 5 stars Loooove Tacky!, April 12 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tacky and the Emperor (Paperback)
He's the best! I love the messages in the Tacky books that he is different but a good penguin to have around. Tacky's off-beat way of looking at the world is not only hilarious but sends the very positive message that one should accept, celebrate and be true to oneself even if it means being different from everybody else.

I like the character of Fragility. It's an entertaining book with fun illustrations. However, I wouldn't call it a children's classic.

I Think, I Am!: Teaching Kids the Power of Affirmations

1.0 out of 5 stars Too tedious for kids, April 12 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My kids did not enjoy this book nor did they value its message. They found it boring and pointless. It's an absolute cliché of a self-help book. I find that my kids relate better to creative stories that carry a strong message rather than this sort of "look on the bright side" phony listing of self-affirmations. HUGE disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protects my bamboo floors, April 12 2013

This stuff leaves my bamboo floors looking better than when they were just put in. Leaves a beautiful shine that protects my floors from wear and smells great. I love that it doesn't contain any harsh or harmful chemicals.
