Book Review: Mae and June and the Wonder Wheel

This is a children's chapter book where June and Mae are new neighbors. After becoming best friends they turn to the Wonder Wheel to determine what their adventures will be each day. Each spin brings fun times for both girls. Perhaps they need to find something blue that day or do a good deed. In addition to this June can hear her dog, Sammy talk. Should she tell Mae?

This book is suggested for grades 2-4 but I believe as a read aloud book children younger than this can enjoy it also. This high energy book will sweep kids away with ease. This is a fun, friendly book that I believe most children will enjoy.

I was given this book by NetGalley and HMH Books for Young Readers in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: Waking Up Slowly

What wonderful places to turn to for Spiritual lessons....dogs, children, critters and the unexpected. I love when this happens and so does Dave Burchett.

In Waking Up Slowly the author shows us how much more we can connect to God by turning away from our technology, which we seemed always hooked up to, and look around for these moments from God.

His down-to-earth writing style helped this connect with me from page one. It is filled with stories that move and moments of grace. I think this would make a good book to have on everyone's shelves and it would be a great book to give to others.

I was given this book by Tyndale Publishing in exchange for my honest review. And I am so thankful.
