The Secret Of Old Zeb is a charming softcover children's picturebook written for children ages 6 to 10 and is about ten-year old Walter, a boy whose summer visit to his great aunt promises to be boring - until he befriends a mysterious old sailor neighbor with a Great Secret Project hidden in the depths of his cellar! Inviting, caricature-style color artwork by Michael P. White and a theme of chasing one's dreams to the sea and stars mark this enjoyable, highly recommended picturebook story.

Unstoppable Me: 10 Ways to Soar Through Life Review

Unstoppable Me: 10 Ways to Soar Through Life

I bought this from Amazon and recieved it yesterday when my 4 year old was in preschool. As I skimmed the book I thought to myself that it looked really good but was probably too advanced for her. I was wrong about that. She loved it.
The book discusses 10 ways to soar through life:
1. You're great--no matter what!
2. Persistance pays off!
3. Welcome to the Unknown
4. You have a choice
5. Farewell to worry
6. Peace begins with you
7. Enjoy the Here-and-now
8. Healthy me!
9. Creativity is the key!
10. What can you give.
These principles are each explained on one side of the page. On the other side a situational example of how a child applied it in his or her own way.
The thing my child and I liked most about the book was the section at the end where it asks questions about how the child has or could use each of the 10 principles. I was a bit amazed and delighted by what my daughter shared with me--thing I didn't know about her her life away from me. Her eyes really lit up during this part and she talked a mile a minute.
I'm very pleased with the book written by Wayne Dyer and Kristina Tracy. I have been a fan of Dyer's CD's (based on his books) for some time now which are geared to adults. The illustrations by Stacy Heller Budnick are very eye appealing and cheerful.
I love these positive messages that I can share with my daughter as she grows up and I want to add the first book Dyer wrote for children to her library. Now if only Deepak Chopra would write a few children's books--I'd love that too.

In Unstoppable Me! Dr. Dyer teaches children how to hold on to the no-limit thinking he believes they were born with, rather than just trying to "fit in." In doing so, they can learn to truly enjoy life and become unstoppable as they strive to attain their dreams.

Keisha Ann is irrepressible as she goes through her school day. Whether it's doing her work or doing what's fun, she let's nothing stand in her way. Who can do it? Keisha Ann Can!
This is a fun little book, with nice illustrations of children going through their school day. It teaches kids about politeness and obedience and that school can be fun. And most of all, it teaches kids to have a can-do attitude. This is a very nice book with a great lesson. My four-year-old and I highly recommend it!

Incredible You 10 Ways to let your greatness shine through Review

Incredible You 10 Ways to let your greatness shine through
Average Reviews:

"It is my desire to have these tiny precious souls-so many of whom have brought so much joy into my life as they listened to my stories-close this book and feel so good about themselves that they feel in their hearts that nothing is impossible for them. It would be even more thrilling for me if this becomes the book they choose each night...so that a special person-like you-can read it to them over and over again." - From the introduction
Renowned author Wayne Dyer has distilled his 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace into a children's book titled Incredible You! 10 Ways to Let Your Greatness Shine Through. Co-written with Kristina Tracy and illustrated by Melanie Siegel, this colorful uplifting book affirms and encourages children to imagine, explore, and expect beauty in all its forms.
The 10 Ways to Let Your Greatness Shine Through are:
1. Share the Good
2. Find What You Love
3. You are Filled with Love
4. Find a Quiet Place Inside
5. Make Today Great!
6. Change Your Thoughts to Good
7. Take Care of Yourself
8. Picture What You Want
9. Everyone Is Special, Especially You
10. Good Thoughts Give You Energy
This wonderful book isn't saccharine "just think happy thoughts". Dyer addresses challenges such as ridicule. Under #7 Take Care of Yourself it says:
"If something or someone makes you feel bad,
don't let it ruin your day by making you sad.
Let go of the hurt and take care of you.
You can't control what others say or do."
The first picture shows two girls whispering and laughing at a third girl, while the second picture shows the girl happily playing in her room as the other two look through the window. She has chosen to play with her toys and enjoy herself-by herself.
Incredible You! contains sage advice for both children and adults. At the end of the book are ten questions designed to encourage children to ponder the ideas presented therein. For example, one question is "It's important to make time for the things you love. Do you have a passion? Something you love to do more than anything else?"
My son answers "play with trains!" to this one. He really enjoyed it when I read the story to him and asked him the questions in the back. In fact, I had this book among a pile of others that I was going to review. He purposefully walked over the stack one day and removed this book so he could look at it on his own! I've reviewed quite a few children's books and he's never done this before. So my 7 year old gives Incredible You! an enthusiastic thumbs up, as does his Mom!
