She is a detective with a special skill for solving mysteries. She loves black and white mystery movies, cherry lollipops, and her dog, Reesie.

OR, you can receive 15% off the regular price of the print version of Maisy and the Missing Mice by visiting https://www.createspace.com/4368649 in the month of March and entering the code RXJN6DUZ upon checking out.   The Buzz"Woodrum certainly knows her target audience and does a very nice job with the character development of Maisy. This is an incredibly kid-friendly story that makes a great introduction to the genre of mystery for newly independent readers. It's a quick page turning read that encourages kids to think outside of the box." ~ The Children's Book Review
"My name is Kat. I am 9 years old. I would rate this a five because I like everything about it, the mystery the most. It was fun to read. My favorite part was the mystery and the end. I love this book so much. I think other kids would love it too because it has mystery and most kids would like mystery books. Most mystery books have a good mystery. I would love to read the whole series." ~ 5 Star Review, Heather A., Amazon
"I knew I would love this book simply because I knew it would remind me of the mystery books I read in my childhood. I really love how much trust the teachers and community as a whole put in Maisy. She is well deserving of their admiration as the way she finds clues and finds the mascot for the school is well thought out. This is a story any child would love to read. I hope Maisy continues to solve mysteries..." ~ 5 Star Review, Josh, Amazon  About the Author: Elizabeth Woodrum

My Friend Suhana Blog Tour & Book Review

About the BookTitle: My Friend Suhana: A Story of Friendship and Cerebral PalsyAuthors: Shaila Abdullah & Aanyah AbdullahPublication Date: December 16, 2013 Publisher: Loving Healing Press Pages: 30 Recommended Ages: 3+Summary A simple tale of love and friendship to warm your heart. Award-winning author and designer Shaila Abdullah teams up with her 10-year-old daughter Aanyah to bring you this heartwarming tale of a little girl who forms a close bond with a child with cerebral palsy.   ReviewNeighbor Girl's Feedback I liked the book and give it 5 stars. 



Mom's Feedback
  My Friend Suhana is a colorful picture book that shares a young child's experience of assisting in a special needs class once a week.  It is in this class that the child meets her new friend, Suhana, who has cerebral palsy.  I adore the illustrations. The message is one of friendship, love, patience, celebrating differences, and working to understand someone who is unable to communicate in ways that most children simply expect. Picture books that help young children learn why others act in ways that may initially scare them or make them nervous - for whatever reason, make me happy. The unknown may be scary for young children.   This colorfully illustrated book is authored by a mother-daughter writing team, and is written in the first-person. It retains the young writer's personality, which gives the book a lovely and innocent voice.
We received an electronic copy of  "My Friend Suhana" from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. We received no monetary or in-kind compensation for our honest review.  Purchase
Amazon About the Authors: Shaila Abdullah & Aanyah Abdullah Shaila Abdullah is an author and designer based in Austin, Texas. She is the author of two books: Saffron Dreams and Beyond the Cayenne Wall . The author has received several awards for her work including the Golden Quill Award, Norumbega Jury Prize for Outstanding Fiction, Patras Bukhari Award for English Language, Reader Views Award, Written Art Award, and a grant from Hobson Foundation. Aanyah Abdullah is a creative and compassionate 10-year-old, who is drawn to children born with physical and mental disabilities. When she was in second grade, Aanyah along with her mother Shaila, started volunteering out at a local community center where they helped assist special needs children. Later Aanyah wrote an essay about her friendship with a girl in the class who had cerebral palsy. That essay is the inspiration behind My Friend Suhana . Aanyah dreams of establishing a special school for children with disabilities one day. She is known to always stand up for what is right and is-–in her parents’ and teachers’ eyes––a perfect role model for her baby sister.

Book Review & Small Fry Safari Challenge Entry: Lionel's Grand Adventure, Lionel and the Golden Rule

ABOUT THE BOOK Title: Lionel's GRAND Adventure
Author: Paul R. HewlettIllustrator: Pat SauberYear Published: 2011Publisher: Shoe Shine Publishing Inc.Pages: 83
Age Level: ages 7-10, Early Chapter Book LevelSummary (Amazon): Lionel is sick of his brother picking on him and of his mother yelling at him. One day, while cleaning the closet his mother has been after him about, he discovers not only boxes and old clothes, but a lucky charm with more magic than he bargained for. After an unusual encounter with his brother, Lionel knows things are about to change for the better.

Together, Lionel and his lucky charm are able to stand up to his big brother as well as make Carrie—the cutest girl in his class—notice him. While learning the quirks of his magical charm, Lionel ends up at a casino in Las Vegas, escapes an evil dog, becoming a hero to the other kids, and finds himself playing in the Great Series with his favorite professional baseball team. Will Lionel master the trickster, over-the-top magic, or will it mess things up beyond repair? Book TrailerOUR REVIEWNeighbor Girl's Feedback I liked it. It was good. Creative solutions to problems. 
I give it 5 stars. 








Cool Mom's Review

I love, love, love it when I read a book that makes my job, to review it, easy. Lionel's Grand Adventure is a fun read. My daughter picked up my love for the book and read it one morning between her school assignments, hence her review above.
Lionel's Grand Adventure is a fun, creative and quick read. It is perfect for early chapter book readers. Lionel is a lovable character who you route for right from the beginning. While Lionel is treated poorly by just about everyone, his heart remains as sweet as can be. 
This book has a bit of magic in it that allows crazy things to occur that may (or may not) help Lionel in his life. The results of the magic had me giggling out loud more than once. I look forward to reading the other books written by Paul Hewlett. Thank you, Paul, for the fun read.
