Freebie Friday Review: Don't Juggle Bees! And Other Useless Advice for Silly Children by Gerald Hawksley

Freebie Friday Review


I decided to introduce this neat meme here as well at my more mature blog.  Amazon puts a lot of amazing books at discounted or free prices for a limited time.  You could go through pages and pages to find something that you thought interested you, or you could do what I do and just subscribe to that neat little website, Pixel of Ink-Young Edition.  They do all the hard work for you and it's free.  You can like them on Facebook and they will update throughout the week (and sometimes the day) of free books that are offered at Amazon.  The only think is you need to have a Kindle or Kindle reading apps to take part in these deals.

Our first ever Freebie Friday Review is over:

Title: Don't Juggle Bees! And other useless advice for silly children

Author: Gerald Hawksley 

Publisher/Publishing Date:  CreateSpace-March 28, 2012

Source: ebook; Amazon

I read this to all four of my boys, ages 8 to 3 years old, and everyone(including myself) laughed our heads off.  It is a fun rhyming silly story that no matter what your age, you can't help but smile at.  

It is written as a "Do and Don't " way, explaining us things we should do and things we should most definitely not do.  

This story is simply put: funny.  It lets you just let go and laugh with your kids at some of the antics in the book.  Those are the best kind, especially, when you can just stop and smile at the funny things.   Here are some of our favorite quotes from the book:

"Do be happy when you smile Don't share your bath with a crocodile."( not sure the page number but this was 22%)

So if you want to just have some fun and just laugh with your kids then this is the book you need to get.
After much consideration, the boys and I have decided to give this 5 smiley faces!

Michael and Jacey's Take on I Love You So Much by Sharlene Alexander

Title:  I Love You So Much
Author:  by Sharlene Alexander
Published: April 2012
Format we have: Kindle




Michael and Jacey's thoughts on this book:


Michael:  I really liked this book.  I especially liked all the ways the mom tells the babies they love them.  The pictures were pretty cool but my favorite part was the picture games at the end.  We sat and found the hidden objects in the different pictures.  
I did wish it was a little longer because it was pretty short but I think my baby brother, Jacey was okay with that.  


Jacey:  I had two favorite parts in the story.  First, I love doggies!  And I liked the mommy dog telling her puppy how much she loved it.  The second part that was my favorite is the games at the end.  I like playing Look and Finds with my brother, Mikey.  


We give it four smiley faces!
