Book Review: Slinky the Skink and his Magical Tail by Sharon Watson

This book was the bedtime story for tonight. I just read this with my five year old son and almost two year old daughter. Slinky the Skink and his Magical Tail is the first book in the new series Slinky the Skink.

This book is a lot longer then the ones we normally read. My daughter loved Benny the dog we kept getting dog over and over with her pointing at the picture when I was trying to read. We can't wait to read the next books in the series.

Book Review: Ranger the Kaimanawa Stallion by Kelly Wilson

My Review:

I got a copy of this for my kids Nicholas and Charlotte as they both love horses and I was looking for some new kids books to read with my almost five year old son Nicholas and also for Charlotte when she is older as she is only one and a half.

Nicholas said he loves all the pictures and liked having a horse bedtime story.

Charlotte loved the pictures as she kept pointing at the horses mainly.

This story is told from Ranger's POV. He is a wild stallion until one day his herd is directed by helicopters to a holding area. He gets lucky and ends up going home with the Wilson sister's. 

This is a great New Zealand children's story and it is also a true story.

I have heard of the Wilson sister's before but haven't read any of Kelly's books yet (I have added them all to my TBR list and will be getting me some copies to read). I know the TV show Keeping up with the Kaimanawas that the sisters starred in, I just need to finish watching it.

Review:

I got a signed copy for my kids, Nicholas and Charlotte at NZ Book Fest this year. It's beautifully written and the art work is awesome. My 3 year old son and I had to read it to my 2 month old daughter as soon as we got home from Book Fest. Nicholas loved the pictures and was telling his sister what the picture was. Thanks Stacey and Eli for a great kids book. This is one that I would highly recommend to anyone with young kids.

Book Review: Wally the Warm-Weather Penguin by Stephanie M. Ward

Genre: Children's

Publisher: Forwards Press

Release Date: 9th November 2014
No. of Pages: 24

ISBN: 978-0-9898423-1-0

Rating: 5/5

Review:

It is a story of Wally the Emperor Penguin who wants to be somewhere warm. So he sets off from Antarctica and lands in the Galapagos Islands.

Ward had created a book your children will adore from its colourful pages to the easy to read rhyming verse. She mixes fun into Wally's Story as she teaches us about the Galapagos Islands and some of its inhabitants.

I read this with my 2 year old son Nicholas and his 2 and a half year old cousin Chase. Both boys loved the book. My nephew Chase was asking for more when I finished reading the book. 

This book is an adorable rhyming tale and it has awesome drawings.

I highly recommend it to anyone who has little kids.
