If you ask Bubs his first impression - of anything right now - he will be negative. So when we sat down to read the next book in my Usborne reviews, he immediately said he didn't like this book. So, I started reading it outloud. It wasn't two sentences and he was right beside me. Then when I said the word "treasure" he ...

Review: Usborne Playtime Books
In February I posted about my excitement watching Bubs truly draw something. I mean, for the first time Bubs drew an object instead of just scribble. In that post, I credited the change to the Usborne book I Can Draw Animals. In our school time, I have incorporated the I Can Draw books to help Bubs make sense of objects. I ...
Review: Usborne Touchy-Feely Books
Usborne Touchy-Feely Books are the second set in my review of Usborne books. This is the third book in this series that our family has received. Little Man loves That's Not My Bear. Right now it is his favorite potty-training book! There is a book for about any object that you can imagine - trains, animals, princess, dragon, ...
Review: Usborne First Experiences
If you are not familiar with Usborne books, you need to be! Seriously, this company offers some of the best books. I have even talked about some of their books in previous posts. Usborne books are provided by local consultants, sold on consultant websites, as well as sold on Amazon. I had the privilege to ...
Book: Red Red Red
This is our "new" favorite book from the library. Red Red Red by Valeri Gorbachev is a fun book to teach the color red as well as trying to figure out the ending. Turtle is in a huge hurry but the other animals can't figure out why. All Turtle will say is "red, red, red." With red all around, what is Turtle wanting to ...
Review: This Little Prayer of Mine
This Little Prayer of Mine is the latest in my review list. A short 40-page hardcover book for babies to preschool age children. The author - Anthony DeStefano - wants to teach children how to pray. And...he succeeds. With engaging rhymes and beautiful illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine assures children that God is ...
Bob Books Reading Charts
A friend of my mom's introduced us to Bob Books. We found them at our local library and I immediately ordered them from Amazon. Since Bubs knew all of his letters and sounds, he was ready to move on to reading. Pretty exciting the first time that your child reads! If you aren't familiar with the Bob Books, let me tell you a ...
3rd Children’s Bible Added
A while back I received the children's Bible My Story Bible: 66 Favorite Stories from Tyndale Kids to review. I have added it to the ABCJLM as a supplemental material. Several times I have debated on adding it to the curriculum. I even sat down and started to but realized that only about half of the stories in the ...
Review: God Loves You
The Berenstain Bears: God Loves You! is my final book review of the Living Lights series. And, this is probably my favorite. The Berenstain siblings have tried out for separate activities at school. They are crushed when they get parts but not the ones they were hoping for. Mama and Papa teach the cubs ...
