Calling young adventurers!  Choose where you want to go…it could be Europe; North or Central and/or South America; Asia and the Pacific East; Africa; Australia and Oceania or Antarctica.  The whole world is there for you.

Each colorful spread is filled with illustrations and facts.  Readers can also look for the two adventure guides in each new location.  Visit the London Eye, the Louvre or the Moscow Metro in Europe.  In North America spend time in Alaska, New York’s Central Park or take a Steamboat ride.  And so it goes, with each region having so many things to explore.

This is such a colorful and appealing title.  It provides a fun introduction to the many wonders of our world for the young armchair traveler.

Woof, a very cute book: Dogs & Puppies Drawing & Activity Book Learn to draw 17 different dog breeds by Walter Foster Jr. Creative Team

I found this to be an adorable book.  Even if you don’t want to draw, just looking through this title will make you smile.  Some of the many dogs included are the Old English Sheepdog, the English Springer Spaniel (my dog growing up!), the Golden Retriever Puppy. The Pembroke Welsh Cori and the Dalmatian.  Each breed gets a fun fact on their page. There are also activities like the Dinner Time Maze, and the Pup Pool activity, among others.  And, of course, there are instructions on everything from the tools and materials needed to the how to steps.  The book even includes tracing paper and sketch pages.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.  This would be a nice book to bet for a young art loving dog admiring child that you know.

Now out: Karate Kids by Holly Sterling

This book has such sweet and fun illustrations. The text tells the story of a young girl going to her karate class. Many aspects of karate are clearly explained in the text by the author, a karate champion herself.
This book provides an excellent introduction to what a student can expect if they start lessons. There are rules and discipline along with co-operation, fun and learning.

Recently published: Cozy Case FilesThe title says it all.

The title says it all. Here are excerpts from upcoming books. So many good reads to sample here…and, of course, you can buy the books as they are published.
Each entry begins with an introduction to the story and is followed by a generous excerpt. For example, first up is Carolyn Haines and her detective, Sara Booth Delaney. I have read and enjoyed many titles in this series featuring Sara and the group around her which even includes a “haint” named Jitty.
Some of the other books I already am familiar with thanks to NetGalley. I enjoyed Hannah Dennison’s book that is set on the Scilly Isles. On my TBR pile are The Devil’s Bones and The Secrets of Bones. Other titles have also captured my interest. I very much want to read Allison Montclair’s new novel after last year’s debut of her marriage bureau sleuths. Similarly The Fate of a Flapper intrigues me as I have the first in that series.
If you are a cozy reader or want to try cozies in our current stressful climate, sample a title or two hear to decide if you would enjoy the book. You well may.
