Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review virtual book tour for Fairy Day Games. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. About the Book: Get ready for fun at the Fairy Day Games! 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. Perfect for early readers and reading with your little one because the story is easy to understand. I loved how the author made key words in bold or sparkles.

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.

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
