Review & Description

This is a book for Children with a Christian theme. This is the first in a series I refer to as "The Little Luke" books. Luke is a typical boy, aged 8 years old, who loves to ask lots of questions. He knows he can ask his best friend, Jesus, anything and so he does. In this series, each book will focus on one question that Luke wants answers to.
In this book, Luke wonders why he can't understand his dog Miller when he's barking. In other books, he'll ask Jesus questions about divorce, bullying, cheating, racism and more. All these stories are Biblically based and have a related verse at the end.
I hope you enjoy my take on how Jesus might answer a child's innocent questions through Love and understanding while still conveying Truth from Scripture.

These books are written with short sentences on each page and full of child-friendly illustrations. A child in 2nd grade and up should be able to read it by themselves. But younger than that will probably require a parent's help.This is a book for Children with a Christian theme. This is the first in a series I refer to as "The Little Luke" books.

Review & Description

SINOPSIS: Sara se despierta una noche y descubre una curiosa luz roja saliendo de la cocina. Al acercarse de puntillas, se encuentra con un ser diminuto dentro de la nevera comiéndose sus helados de chocolate. Sara intenta atraparle, pero el pequeño gnomo consigue escapar y, sin saber cómo, la niña es absorbida al interior del frigorífico. Así comienza una historia infantil de fantasía y aventuras en la que Sara descubrirá el mundo mágico de Mundo-Vera, ayudando al príncipe Rubiales a salvar el reino de las garras del malvado y maloliente Duque Roquefort. INICIO DE LA NOVELA: Hacía mucho rato que me habían mandado a la cama, pero era imposible dormir. ¡Qué calor hacía! Todo estaba muy oscuro y solo se escuchaba el tic tac del reloj del pasillo. Quería aguantarme pero ya no podía más, tenía que ir al baño. Así que me levanté muy despacio y, sin hacer ruido, salí de puntillas de la habitación. No quería despertar a mi madre porque me había castigado injustamente y estaba enfadada con ella. ―¡Sara, estás castigada! ―me había dicho esa misma mañana, muy cabreada. ―¡Yo no he sido mamá! ―Esta noche te has comido dos helados y encima lo niegas. ―Habrá sido el primo Roberto. ―Cuando se fue tu primo, saqué el pescado para la cena y los helados seguían allí. ¿Cómo explicas eso? ―Jo, no es justo. Y no era justo. La noche anterior alguien se había comido dos helados de chocolate, mis preferidos, y mi madre me había echado a mí la culpa. Pero os aseguro que yo no había sido. Y lo peor es que ya solo quedaban otros dos helados de chocolate. Estaba ya al final del pasillo cuando, de repente, una luz roja comenzó a brillar al otro lado. Parecía venir de la cocina. No podían ser mis padres porque les oía dormir y roncar en su habitación. Entonces, ¿quién había allí? Me acerqué muy despacio sin hacer ningún ruido. Tenía un poco de miedo, pero también sentía mucha curiosidad por descubrir lo que pasaba. La luz roja salía de la cocina a través de la puerta entreabierta, dibujando sombras extrañas en la pared. Me asomé con mucho cuidado y me quedé pasmada. El congelador estaba abierto y el envoltorio de uno de mis helados de chocolate estaba tirado en el suelo. Pero lo más increíble era que dos botas rojas y diminutas asomaban del congelador. Las botas brillaban en la oscuridad, mientras su pequeño dueño pataleaba y gruñía. Parecía muy concentrado, mordisqueando algo de la nevera. ¡Otro helado de chocolate! ...

Review & Description

Count along with Olivia!

In this enchanting board book, toddlers will join everyone's favorite piglet as they learn to count from one to ten.Learning to count to 10 is no chore when accompanied by Olivia, piglet superstar of Ian Falconer's Caldecott Honor Book, Olivia, and Olivia Saves the Circus. Preschoolers will giggle to see reminders of Olivia's mischief in this simple counting book: "one ball, two bows, three pots of paint"... on up to "ten Olivias," pictured in various familiar poses: trying on pantyhose, standing on her head, earnestly jumping rope, sunbathing, etc. Each sturdy page of this small, square board book provides a backdrop of white on which our black and white porcine heroine struts, with occasional red accessories. Early learners will also enjoy Olivia's Opposites. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter Read more

Olivia Saves the Circus (Hardcover)

Olivia Saves the Circus
Olivia Saves the Circus (Hardcover)
By Ian Falconer

Product Images


Review & Description

Olivia remembers her trip to the circus very well. The performers were out sick, so she had to do everything. She...

  • rode on a unicycle
  • jumped on a trampoline
  • juggled five balls!
  • tamed lions
  • and flew through the air.

Step into the ring with Olivia, where the lights are dim, the color soft, and a little girl's imagination is the main attraction.When it comes time to tell the class what she did on her vacation, Olivia isn't at all nervous. In fact, she remembers it quite clearly--she went to the circus, you see. "But when we got there, all the circus people were out sick with ear infections." What are the odds? But the show must go on! Fortunately, Olivia jumps right in to help out--riding elephants, posing as the Tattooed Lady (she draws on the pictures with a marker), taming lions, walking tightropes, juggling, clowning around, and more. In a marvelous fold-out, four-panel spread, our porcine heroine even reigns supreme as the Queen of the Trampoline. "And that's how I saved the circus. And now I am famous." Olivia looks proud. Her teacher looks mad. Ian Falconer shines in this dryly hilarious sequel to his 2001 Caldecott Honor Book Olivia. The charcoal and gouache illustrations perfectly capture Olivia's earnest expressions. Be prepared to be charmed anew! (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson Read more
