The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey: A Horse Valley Adventure (Book 1) by Liana-Melissa Allen is a children’s picture book loosely based upon the classic story of The Three Little Pigs. This book is full of beautiful illustrations and is part of the Horse Valley Adventure series. Liana-Melissa Allen has taken a children’s fable and turned it into this wonderful tale that children will enjoy as they learn about bullying, independence and sharing. When the home that the three little horses shared burned down, they each had to make a new life decision. Collectively the three little horses were strong against the bullying Donkey, but individually they were not. Children will not only enjoy reading The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey, but will learn a lot about life lessons, choices and decisions that make a difference in their lives and the effect on them.
Sometimes life can seem unfair. It can cause us to make decisions about various things and sometimes the decisions are made quickly. The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey is that type of story where survival of the fittest does matter. Big Bully Donkey had no problems terrorizing the forest, but even he eventually saw that there are some that will stand up to him. I enjoyed the life lesson reminders in The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey by Liana-Melissa Allen. There are so many people being affected by bullying and it must stop; this is the book to show readers how things can be turned around.

This book is full of beautiful illustrations and is part of the Horse Valley Adventure series. The three little horses, Lax, Jack and Max, are brothers that decided to go out kite flying with their friend, Donkey. As the three brothers were diligently creating and designing their kites, Donkey immediately began to have problems. It appears that no one was aware of his problems, so they did not offer to help, nor did Donkey seek help from his friends. Donkey’s kite was too flimsy and would not fly, but Donkey was persistent. Eventually, he met Gusty the goose, who helped Donkey to be able to fly his kite like his friends, Lax, Jack and Max.

The Adventures of Flapjack: Saying Goodbye is a children's concept picture book written by Dan Cohen and illustrated by Lisa Norman. Flapjack is a dog who is quite happy living with his human mom and dad. He didn't always live there, however, because a ranger found him in the forest as a puppy. He had a special friend while he lived in the forest, a duck named Fowler. After he left the forest, Fowler would come to visit Flapjack in town where he lived with his family. Fowler used to visit with the changing of the seasons, but it had been five seasons since Flapjack saw his friend, and he wondered why. Finally, he saw a duck circling and then landing in his pond. Flapjack got very excited and was sure that the duck was his friend, but, no, it was Fowler's son who had sad news for the dog. Fowler was not at all well, and he would not be getting better. Flapjack wanted to see his friend before he died, and he kept on insisting until Fowler's son agreed, and together they traveled back to the forest.
Dan Cohen's children's concept picture book, The Adventures of Flapjack: Saying Goodbye, is a well-written and gentle tale about loss and grief. Flapjack's sadness and initial inability to process the news that his friend is dying echoes the universal sentiment of the bereaved, no matter how strong one's faith in an afterlife or what stage of life one is in. Saying Goodbye is probably the hardest and most mysterious aspect of life to comprehend, especially for a child, and I believe that Cohen's sensitive coverage of the subject may help children cope with the loss and grieving process that hits all of us so hard. This eloquent and moving story is accompanied by Lisa Norman's marvelous artwork that follows Flapjack on his final visit to Fowler. Reading The Adventures of Flapjack: Saying Goodbye is a sad, yet uplifting experience. It's most highly recommended.

Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite
“Different is cool,” says Tabitha Fink and it is cool to learn new things, even if, at first, they seem a little bit scary. But Tabitha Fink isn’t scared. In fact, she’s a cat on a mission to learn all she can, this time about the far distant planet of Mars. She knows that a lot of things are different on Mars, like the things Martians do for fun, how they travel, and the food they eat, but she doesn’t know what the differences are and she’s determined to find out.
Tabitha Fink makes an excursion to Mars in her spaceship and she meets some really cool young Martians who teach her how they play, how they travel, and what they eat. But there is one Martian who is afraid to come and meet Tabitha Fink. She reaches out in friendship and points out that it doesn’t matter if we’re all different, that’s what makes life so interesting.
Rick Felty’s colorfully illustrated picture book story, Tabitha Fink On a Mission to Mars, is a clever teaching tool to help young readers overcome or at least try to manage their fear of things that are new and different. By using a cute cat as the brave explorer, the story, with its rhyming verse and humorous innuendos, allows young readers to feel good and brave like Tabitha Fink. The cat herself is even different as she only has one eye, but that doesn’t stop her from exploring and learning about the universe around her. This is a great inspirational and fun story for young readers.

Oliver and Jumpy by Werner Stejskal is a collection of stories for children. The stories are about a cool cat named Oliver and his kangaroo friend, Jumpy. They go on different adventures together and have lots of fun. This illustrated book tells three fun stories: “Who Am I?”, “Up the Tree” and “Moon Crystal.” All of them describe the adventures of Oliver as he tries to figure out what is happening and what should he do. All three stories pose a different challenge, but Oliver is brave and strong and he is not afraid to climb a really big tree or go to the moon to bring back moon crystals. So hop along and join Oliver and Jumpy on their adventures because you will thoroughly enjoy them.
I am an adult and I loved this storybook. I had forgotten how cool it was to read books with pictures in them. This particular book was well illustrated and had really adorable pictures to go with every scene. Oliver reminded me of Tom from Tom and Jerry, maybe because he is a tomcat. Or it could be the fact that he is charming, strong, brave and ready to tackle a new adventure. Werner Stejskal wrote the stories beautifully and simply. The illustrators did an amazing job in capturing the essence of Oliver and Jumpy. It would be a great book to read to kids. I would definitely settle in with my niece, snuggle under the covers, and read the book with her.

Colors! Take the Dog Out Book 3 is written by Lynne Dempsey. Do you know all of your colors? Do you know how to read and write the words for these colors? That's what this book helps young children do. This is a delightful story in pictures that shows children playing in the garden with their dog. Each page illustrates the children studying different things growing in the garden: red flowers, yellow flowers, orange flowers, blue flowers, purple flowers, green - no that's the grass. There's a little bit of humor added to the story when the colors brown and black are introduced. Brown, oops that's a worm; black, oops that's a spider. The children play in the garden and collect bouquets of all colors of all kinds of plants that grow in the garden. Then they lie in the grass, until one of the children starts to sneeze - allergies. The many colors of the flowers are scattered in the wind like a rainbow from the power of the continuous sneezing - another little bit of humor.
This is a teaching book - teaching young readers how to read the colors. It's an excellent educational resource for parents and teachers alike. Lynne Dempsey has created a beautiful story in pictures with just enough words to make reading fun, funny and educational for young readers. "This is fun," one of the children says and the dog barks, "Bark!" in agreement - more simple words and sentences to help young readers improve their reading skills. This is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches young readers how to recognize and read the words for different colors.
