Join children’s author Mari Sherkin as she peeks inside a secret world, where magical creatures come together to prepare for the most festive Fairy Day of the year!! Review: I love fairies so this book is perfect for me! This colorful story tells of gnomes and toads and of course fairies. All the creatures get along great and don’t question their differences; they just have fun. This is a great lesson for all to hear especially in today’s world where differences can define and separate us. The illustrations are bright and colorful and perfect for the story.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review virtual book tour for Roar-Choo! Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. About the Book: Patient, peaceful Phoenix tries to take care of rambunctious and cold-ridden Dragon, which leads to hilarious and sweet results (with vibrant illustrations by the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Beekle). Everyone knows that dragons are fierce, capable of taking on the world! But this dragon can’t stop sneezing long enough to get a roar out. Even with friendly Phoenix insisting that Dragon get some rest, this powerful creature refuses to stop for any orange ginger tea or a drop of bone broth soup. It’s only when Dragon realizes Phoenix has caught the same cold that they are both able to take the break they so badly need. This tale of helping your friends and valuing differences is a sure-thing for story time.   Review: What a great story for teaching little ones to take care of themselves first. The d

Welcome to my stop on Park Row Books virtual book tour for Everyone is Watching , the latest hot book by Iowa author, Heather Gudenkauf. I was so lucky to see her on tour because I love her books and she is the nicest and easiest person to talk with. I hope you enjoy reading the first chapter of this book and find out you need to add it to your TBR! About the Book: The Best Friend. The Confidant. The Senator. The Boyfriend. The Executive. Five contestants have been chosen to compete for ten million dollars on the game show One Lucky Winner. The catch? None of them knows what (or who) to expect, and it will be live streamed all over the world. Completely secluded in an estate in Northern California, with strict instructions not to leave the property and zero contact with the outside world, the competitors start to feel a little too isolated. When long-kept secrets begin to rise to the surface, the contestants realize this is no longer just a reality show—someone is out for blood.
