Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review virtual book tour for Little Red Driving Hood and the Three Repairs. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. I hope you enjoy finding out about this book and enter the giveaway!




Review:

In this contemporary retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red loves helping her mon fix cars, defying gender roles and doing the work very well. When her grandmother’s car stops working Little Red takes off to lend a hand. On the way she encounters the wolf family - one after the other – all with car trouble. Little Red does her best to fix their cars using her tools. She struggles with the tasks but learns that sometimes you can’t do everything and asking for help is ok. A repair book helps Little Red fix the cars and Little Red has some very happy customers in the wolf family and her grandmother.

What is great about this book is it shows a classic fairy tale in a modern way and normalizes girls doing things that boys typically do. It also teaches that it is ok to ask for help when needed. This is an important lesson because when you are doing something, especially something that people don’t expect you to do, you may not want to ask for help and appear not up to the job. Looking for help is not a weakness but a sign that you use everything available to you to complete a task. Young readers will love this book because of the wonderful and inspiring story. The illustrations are perfect for the story This is an excellent story for all children as they learn lessons in a fun way.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu

Today I have the first book in a new series to share with you. Lauren Carr's Sam Mackade PI Mystery series starts with The Prime Suspect . Book Description: Two murders with one common denominator. Both victims betrayed Bryce Greyson. How could she not be the prime suspect? Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater. Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name. Enter Sam MacKade, private eye. To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true  prime suspect . Review: I’ve read Lauren Carr’s books before and loved them and this book is no different. The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
