Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I love the messages and morals that come across in Friendship Takes Courage . The book was longer than I anticipated but worked great as something we read several nights in a row. The pictures were lovely and kept the children's attention while I enjoyed the humor and style of writing. Friendship Takes Courage seemed very appropriate in subject, length, and style for my two older children (6 and 7) as they are navigating the first few years of schooling. Here's the Amazon link if you'd like to explore this book for yourself: http://www.amazon.com/Friendship-Takes-Courage-Ofir-Mor-ebook/dp/B00J2RJQ1G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Book Review – The Jupiter Chronicles: The Secret of the Great Red Spot Review by Crystal J. Casavant-Otto My thoughts: I recently had the pleasure of reviewing something totally new to me. I was completely unaware of exactly what steampunk was and I can’t remember back to what books were important to me in third grade. When I was approached by Leonardo Ramirez and asked if I would like to read and review a steampunk book geared toward third graders I sort of hesitated. I wasn’t sure if it would interest me and my oldest is in first grade so I knew very little about third graders. Nonetheless I agreed and boy am I glad I did! I read The Jupiter Chronicle: The Secret of the Great Red Spot with my daughter (the first grader who is seven years old). We enjoyed the family values that were evident throughout the story. There was the very real issue of an absent parent, and I absolutely love the role of prayer in the story. There was a smidge of action or as some may define ...
