Book Review: The Book of What If...?

The Book of What If...?: Questions and Activities for Curious Minds by [Murrie, Matt, McHugh, Andrew R]I was given this book by NetGalley and Beyond Words Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
As a Grandmother and a former teacher, I enjoy books that encourage children to explore their world. This book is filled with questions that will get them wondering, then exploring. These children are the ones that will learn to think on their own.
The questions are open ended and fun. The children learn how to use critical thinking skills. They can then turn to a notebook to put their ideas down. They could also begin a discussion within their circle of friends or family members.
The different sections include history, people, stuff and nature. This would be a fun book for children, teachers, parents and grandparents to be introduced to. I cannot help but to give this book the highest rating. Check it out.

Book Review: Wonderland: A Coloring Book Inspired by Alice's Adventures

To begin, I love coloring books and I love Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.  This book has both combined.

Wonderland, by Amily Shen is filled with beautiful illustrations to color. I think anyone that enjoys coloring, like I do, would enjoy this book.

It is a paperback book with large pages, filled with details. There are excerpts from the story at the beginning of each chapter, followed with pictures that go with the story.

There is a removable dust cover, which can also be colored.I use crayons and coloring pencils as my medium and the pages receive these colors very well. Each page is printed on each side.

Unfortunately, the pages are not perforated and some of the designs go into the binding area. These things make it a little difficult to work on some of the pages.

Even with these difficult issues, I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys coloring. It fits nicely in the niche that has recently come to the front...Adult coloring books.

I was given this book by Blogging For Books in exchange for my honest review.
