Sea Without a Shore by Barb Rosenstock

Thank you for stopping by my tour spot for Sea Without a Shore with The Children’s Book Review. I received a free copy of this book in order to share my honest thoughts on this book. About the book: A single piece of seaweed buoys a fascinating ecosystem in this nonfiction picture book from award-winning creators Barb Rosenstock and Katherine Roy. From bryozoans and snails to shrimps, eels, swordfish, and whales, the Sargasso Sea provides a home to countless types of marine life, thanks to the prevalence of microalgae called sargassum. Following a single blade of this extraordinary seaweed as it grows and spreads, readers see what it provides for the sea’s organisms: a base for hydroids and tube worms to filter and feed, shelter for anemones and nudibranchs and their nutritious waste, hunting grounds for crabs and amphipods, and a source of nourishment and protection for the fish, birds, whales, and reptiles that feed on these smaller creatures. Through a widening scope on this intric

Please enjoy a guest post from Nina Wachsman to accompany her new book, The Courtesan's Pirate. Don't forget to enter the giveway:  https://kingsumo.com/g/ m4zkqn1/ the - courtesans - pirate - by-nina-wachsman-gift-cards   Falling in Love with Venice I couldn’t help falling in love with Venice from the first moment I arrived, which was during Carnevale.   Emerging from the train station on a grey drizzly day in February, I was greeted by the waving fans of masked ladies in elaborate dresses and nods from their cloaked companions in equally exquisite masks. Meandering through the city was like being in the masquerade scene from Phantom of the Opera; I could almost hear the music and the words, “Masquerade… paper faces on parade…”   It forced me to buy my own mask; the costumes and masks were everywhere so I felt awkward without one. That first taste of Venice whet my appetite for more, especially since the first time was only a day trip from Milan, so I returned many mor

A New Friend for Dragon by Bianca Schulze

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review virtual book tour for A New Friend for Dragon . This book is extra special because it is written by the driving force of The Children’s Book Review! Bianca not only loves helping others find great childrens books, she write them herself! Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. About the Book: In this most recent tale in Clever’s beloved Dragon series, a new knight has come to town! Sir Fiero wears smooth, shiny armor and has a sparkling silver sword. Dragon wants to be friends with him and invites him to play. But Sir Fiero doesn’t believe that dragons and knights can be friends—or can they? A sweet tale of friendship and challenging stereotypes. Review: This book will delight little readers with its clever words and follow along actions. Each page involves the reader by having them follow actions and react to the story. I love how the words change size to emphasize areas and how the illustrations fit
