I
don’t know how many times I hear my students wish they were someone
else, or looked different. This story is just like their’s. Chippy is a
chocolate chip cookie who wishes he was a brownie. In his mind if he was
a brownie the other chippies wouldn’t laugh at him and he wouldn’t feel
so alone. His teacher Mrs. Chipster invites him over to her house and
presents him with a costume to try on. It is a brownie costume. As he
looks at himself in the mirror he discovers it is what is inside and not
on the outside that matters.
What a wonderful story.

SNACK ATTACK BY MARSHA CASPER COOK
REVIEW BY KAREN VAUGHAN
Addison Apple hate oatmeal. He would rather eat chocolate and other goodies all day long.
His mom allows him to feed himself whatever he wants. After chowing down on various kinds of junk food he gets sick and realises that oatmeal is okay after all and that mom is right about healthy food.
This is a great story for picky kids to learn too much of a good thing isn’t that great. It is written from a kids point of view and is suitable for primary school students. I will recommend this to parents with kids from four and older. I give this 5 chocolate chip cookies.

NO CLUES, NO SHOES — BEING DIFFERENT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T BE FRIENDS
A
friendship develops between two kids when they solve the first of many
mystery cases. At first, they have nothing in common and didn’t see eye
to eye on anything. Addison likes to read and write stories inside, and
Emelina likes to be outdoors, jogging, skating, and just about anything
that keeps her active. She likes healthy food and Addison has a sweet
tooth. After a few weeks of friendship they realize even though they are
different they can still be great friends.

Read
this wonderful children’s cozy mystery to my three granddaughters
(ages: 11, 6, and 5) last night–they just loved it and so did I! Marsha
Casper Cook certainly knows how to talk to kids and tell them a glorious
tale! Emelina and her rather grumpy but very hungry friend AJ are very
entertaining and let’s not forget her dog, Stanley! So much fun as they
try to become real detectives while trying to find out who is stealing
shoes in the neighborhood! Don’t miss this read! Your kids are gonna
love it–5 STARS!
WHAT’S GOING ON ON THE BUSY BUS?
This
is a funny short-rhyming book. Kids will enjoy listening to these poems
over and over again and still be entertained by the magical words that
shout out, ” This is funny stuff.”
Caesar Burgess walked up to bat.
His knees were shaking, and that was that.
He tried and tried many times before
But was never, never able to score.
He looked out at the crowd
And gave them a nod
The gum he was chewing
Was now a large wad.
He took a deep breath
For hope and for luck.
Trying to remember
To hit, miss or duck.
He slowly moved back
Just a little bit.
He swallowed his pride
And smacked his lip.
All of a sudden
It happened so fast.
He hoped this feeling
Would always last!
He took a swing
And his bat hit the ball.
Suddenly he felt like
He was ten feet tall.
So he ran and he ran
And he ran some more.
And wouldn’t you know it?
This time he did score.

Not
only do I enjoy reading children’s books to my youngest grand-children,
I, myself, like reading them. And I love the illustrations.. I find the
best books to be fun, clever and uplifting. And “The Busy Bus” is one
of the most special ones I’ve read in a long time.
The
32 poems in this book cover an amazing range of things kids like to
giggle about; from mean teachers to pink pigs, smelly socks to singing,
flowers, fish and much more. I like that a single poem with a really
cute illustration fits on a single page. Author Marsha Casper Cook
planned her lay-out well, just as she did the topics of interest to
children. She certainly knows a child’s mind.
My
very favorite poem is the one about smelly socks; it made me giggle the
most. And I really got a kick out of Isabella Pimpinella with her red
umbrella. I could name many more, but you will have to read for yourself
to truly enjoy this author’s talent.
I
can’t wait to read this to little Maya or Christopher, but if they
don’t visit soon, I’ll send a copy to their mothers so they can read to
them.
This
author has many children’s books on Amazon and since Isabella
Pimpinella now has her own series, I already have “Isabella Pimpinella’s
Magic Potion,”. I’m going to read that next. Looks like I’ll be on a
kiddy-kick for a while trying to keep up with this precocious, lovable
character.
Highly recommended…
