Dr. Critchlore's School For Minions - Gorilla Tactics - Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



Are you familiar with the Dr. Critchlore's series?  We received the first book in this series awhile back, and my son and I both enjoyed it.  We recently received a copy of the second book in this series.  This book is just as great as the first one.  The book is written by Sheila Grau and illustrated by Joe Sutphin.  My son loves that this is a great series, but the illustrations throughout the book make it even more fun.  Keep your eye out for the release date of this book in March!

I do not want to ruin this book for you if you plan to read it, so I will give you some background on it.  This is a fun story that is a little bit creepy.  It is all about a boy going to school to be a villain.  The story follow Runt Higgins.  He is in search of some answers.  He has to find out where the Great Library is.  The Great Library might have the answers that he needs.  The problem is that it is a challenge to find the Great Library.  Runt realizes that he is not the only one looking for the Great Library.  

The author has done a great job making an eerie book funny as well.  The book is entertaining, and one of those books that you just won't want to put down.

Does this sound like a book that you or your child might be interested in?  You can learn more about it here.

Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids

Disclosure - free sample provided.



It can sometimes be a challenge to find books to teach children about religion that are written at the right level for them.  What are some of your favorite Christian books for kids?  I was recently introduced to Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids.  This is a bible geared towards children.  It is the New International Version of the bible.  However, there are some additions to it that make it appeal to children.  I have a 9, and almost 11 year old.  I thought this was a great version for them.  

This bible has both the new and old testament in it.  The table of contents makes it easy for children to find exactly what they are looking for, and on what page.  This is a great bible to have on hand, and on your bookshelf.  Throughout the pages are devotions.  These pages are an added bonus that my kids really enjoyed. These "Big Dreams" pages explain to children the verses in easy to understand terms.  I love this.  It really helps children to relate to what the bible is saying, but in language that they relate to.  

This bible would make a great gift with Easter coming up too!  You can learn more about the Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids here.

The Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids, NIV includes the complete New International Version (NIV) of the Bible along with devotions, prayers, and highlighted verses to help kids pray and listen for God’s answers to their prayers.

365 Devotions for Peace

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love reading devotionals because these are a great way to start your day, or end your day.  The 365 Devotions for Peace is a devotional written by Cheri Cowell.  This is a beautiful bound devotional.  It is great to buy for yourself, or for someone that needs a little inspiration.  This devotional is dedicated to teaching about peace.  It is a book that helps you release your worries to God.  

This devotional is a 365 devotional.  You can read one a day, or more if you choose.  This is great way to start off a new year, but you can start reading this anytime.  The devotional has a reading for every single day of the year.  Each reading tells you what verse from the bible the reading comes from, and also relates to.  I really enjoy reading these passages daily.  They are short enough that I can read them in the morning before I get ready for the day.  The readings relate to the bible, but also touch on issues that you might come across daily in your life.

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love to craft.  My 9 year old and I enjoy spending time together crafting.  We also love to see what are the newest fads when it comes to crafting.  What do you love to craft with?  I recently received a really neat book.  Little Felted Dogs really amazed my daughter and I.  This is a how to book on how to craft little felted dogs.  These dogs are absolutely adorable.  They are soft little felt dogs that you can make with this step by step book.  I personally get frustrated with confusing directions, but this book was written really well.  The instructions are simple, and easy to follow.  

This fun book will teach you how to make a variety of cute pups.  The book has simple instructions that teach you how to make felt English Sheepdogs, Wire Fox Terriers, Dalmatians, Pugs, and many more adorable dogs.  These are so much fun to create and give to other's as gifts.  They are really sweet if you know someone that has one of these types of dogs at home too.  I was really impressed with how realistic these pups look too.  They don't look like cartoon animals.  They actually look like itty bitty versions of the real dog.
