Now out: National Parks Coloring Book

This is not a coloring book for little ones; the designs are way too tiny and intricate for that. However, this is a great book for older kids and adults who enjoy spending time with a coloring book.

In addition to the pictures to color, there is some information about each of the parks and one colored in picture. These pictures are quite appealing.

Recommended for those who enjoy this pastime. I think that I would like a hard copy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

#TheMinotaurSamplerVolume12 #NetGalley

Here is the twelfth edition of one of my favorite reads. These samplers offer such a good way to learn about forthcoming mystery titles. I now know that I want to read just about every one of the books featured on the cover.

Read the book descriptions. Take a look at the generous excerpts and learn about the authors. Then make your choices! What fun.

Now out: My First Day of Kindergarten Activity Book

This lovely activity book was written by a former kindergarten teacher. In a series of activities, she takes children through a day at school. It incorporates teaching/reviewing things that kids will want to know. For example, on the first page, titled Good Morning, children are asked to circle everything that is blue. Another page called Let’s Go to School asks kids to circle the transportation that can get them there. For example, they may take the bus but they probably won’t swim. There are matching games, dot to dots, find what’s different, sequencing, patterns, shapes, letters and much more. All in all, a nice resource for a child and an adult to do together. I definitely know a child who would like this and you may too.

Many thanks to Callisto Publishing and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

Just a note to those whose blogs I follow

You may notice that I am not up to date on reading my favorite blogs. No, it’s not that I don’t want to read the posts because I really do! The reason is that I have just had eye surgery on one eye and another surgery is upcoming. So, please bear with me and I will soon be back to reading at speed.

I appreciate every word that you write and thank you for following my posts.
