Designed by God So I Must Be Special (Caucasian Version) Review

DESIGNED BY GOD SO I MUST BE SPECIAL is a colorful, positive book that will truly make your child feel special and build his/her self confidence.
My daughter really loves the pictures and hearing about how God blessed her with so many gifts that we as adults may sometimes take for granted (our sense of sight, hearing, touching and smelling [taste was not included] and more.) This is really a 4 1/2 star book only because God's name is mentioned only on the cover, dedication page (above title) and the first page of the book. The rest of the pages start with "HE", however, this is easily remedied. When I read it to my daughter I just add "GOD" to each page and it works perfectly. In my opinion that is the only flaw in the book.
If I am running late putting my daughter to bed, I've found that the story is just as charming if I read only the first paragraph on each page (it has 3.) Also DESIGNED BY GOD SO I MUST BE SPECIAL is a great training tool to teach your child objects from the book. I say "where's the: flower, butterfly, cloud, dog, cat, bunny, frog, fish, rainbow, bird, bees, bed, bathtub, sun, tree," etc. and my daughter will search for the object and point to it.
I must include the last page of the book for you so you'll know what you are missing if you don't own this:
"HE GAVE ME MY SPIRIT SO THAT I COULD KNOW THAT HE'S ALWAYS BESIDE ME EVERY PLACE THAT I GO.
TO LOVE ME, PROTECT ME, TO SHOW ME THE WAY, TO BE THERE IN HARD TIMES AS WELL AS EACH DAY.
HE DESIGNED ME WITH SPECIAL TALENTS, GIFTS AND ABILITIES YOU SEE, WHICH LET ME KNOW THAT HE HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN MIND FOR ME."
I highly recommend this VERY SPECIAL book for home and the church library. You won't be disapppointed.

my three daughters (5,3,1) enjoyed the heartwarming story of the hedgehog and his discovery of the wonderful sun. they enjoy the fox being tricked every time we read it.

Upon feeling a sunbeam for the first time, a young hedgehog decides to build a treehouse so that he can see the sun itself, and, despite teasing and a bet with a wily fox, he finds a way to get the job done.

You Can Go to the Potty (Sears Children Library) Review

You Can Go to the Potty (Sears Children Library)
Average Reviews:

This book is excellent for parents who practice Attachment Parenting. It starts by explaining that when the child was a baby, their parents did everything for them. This shows a mother breastfeeding, parents and baby co-sleeping, and a father "wearing" the baby in a sling. It then talks about diapers and how as children get older, they use the potty like their parents. There are lots of parent tips that appear in the margins, encouraging further discussion and customizing things to suit your family's needs and preferences. As always, Dr. Sears encourages you to follow your instincts.
The story itself isn't much different from the one you'd find in The Potty Book or other training books. It follows a child through potty training, buying underwear, etc. The narrative uses language a child can understand, but sometimes it seemed a bit too babyish for me. ("poo-poo goes bye-bye"). I don't think you have to talk down to kids to get them to understand. But, that small complaint aside, the book is informative and positive. It's a wonderful teaching tool, and perfectly suited for Attachment families.

The girl in this story has her own ideas on what is fun. At the very end she chooses what all children want at bedtime. The illustrations are lovely and the story is for beginning readers or for all young age listeners. Grandmothers, a perfect gift for the new grandchild.

Sally Jean, the Bicycle Queen Review

This is my 3 year-old's current favorite - it's got it all: Bike riding action, singing (we made up tunes to the rhymes), construction, drama...sharing. Lots of fun; it's the most requested bedtime reading, by far. We originally got it from the library, but have decided to invest in a copy of our own. If your child is a bike-riding fan, this book is a must-have.

I bought this book for a 3-year-old friend and she LOVED it. The answer to "How Does God Make Things Happen?" is, in a nutshell, "with your hands." The examples given are sweet and easy to understand, and any child under age 5 or so would enjoy it.

I read the book The Crayon Box That Talked to my 2nd Grade students. We all thought that the book was super! We talked about the differences in each other and the students each told another student something they liked about them. The students felt good about themselves and each other! This was a great book to start off our Peace Unit. As a diverse staff, we gave this book as a gift to our principal with simple messages of how we complement each other and as a staff we make a complete picture because of our uniqueness! Thanks Shane! Ms. Roushonda Morrison, 2nd Grade Teacher

Harriet Dancing Review

I bought this book for Christmas last year for our newly two year old daughter. She didn't seem to care for it too much, but eight months later, it has become a favorite (almost every nap and bedtime). The book is rated for 4-8 year olds but we have loved Caroline Jayne Church books and I couldn't resist! Now I am buying three more for my nieces! It is a very sweet story encouraging girls to not let grumblers stop you from doing things you enjoy! Also the book has lovely pictures. I would recommend Church's books any day.
