Book Review: The Secret of the Shamrock

This book helps kids learn about the life of Saints. In this book Patrick gets in trouble so he and his family become a part of the Saturday cleaning team. Before he really gets started though he goes back in time where he meet St. Patrick
This is an engaging book for children to read. I know that I enjoyed it also.

Book Review: The Push

This is a children's book about friendship. I say that it is written for children but I believe that there is a message in there for everyone. It is based on the story of real-life friends Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck, who wrote I'll Push You.
In this story, Marcus moves next to John and the two of them became friends almost immediately. The two become inseparable. Where ever and what ever they do, Marcus helps John but having a great sense of  humor and providing the fuel to push John's wheelchair.
I was given this book by Tyndale in exchange for my honest review. However, even if that were not the case, I would have purchased this book for my grandchildren, after I read I'll Push You. Excellent book and I highly recommend it for every family and classroom.

    Just Sayin'

    Just Sayin' by [Mackall, Dandi Daley]Jennifer and Trent were going to be married making a combined family with Jennifer's daughter, Cassie and Trent's children Nick and Julie. Now that they are broken up, the kids decide to do something. Nick and Cassie, through letters, are trying to figure out what happened to their parents' relationship and how they can change things.

    They also try to figure out how to get on The Last Insult Standing, their favorite game show. Through all of these letters, the children learn the importance of the words they use.

    I loved the way the three children love each other, even though they may make fun of each other in every letter. This is a touching, silly book that will make the reader realize the importance of watching the tongue.

    I was given this book by Tyndale House Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

    This book can be found HERE at Amazon,
    or HERE at Barnes and Noble
