This week the spotlight belongs to up and coming author Twyla Prindle with her triumphant book entitled “Where Is My Money?” This book is a quiet seller that will quickly rise to children’s book fame and will be sure to catch the attention of children’s book fans everywhere. Accompanied by vivid illustration, Prindle’s tale of a young girl’s search for the money she has spent is a cute twist on the important lesson of saving and multiplying money. If you’re a parent that enjoys children’s books with a teachable lesson, Twyla Prindle’s “Where Is My Money?” is a sure winner!

Little Rat Makes Music!

Second is Monika Bang-Campbell’s effort “Little Rat Makes Music”. This is the third installment of Campbell’s Little Rat series and it is just as delightful as the rest! We rejoin our friend Little Rat as he has to play violin at a recital but does not like to practice. This splendid story brings to life the age-old saying “practice makes perfect!” With colorful illustrations and lovable characters this is definitely a book that you would want to use in your home or classroom. That’s all for now see you next week with more reviews!

I have found the most amazing children’s book! I was in Barnes & Nobles the other day searching for the perfect children’s book for my daughter Melissa. I wanted something that would teach her about money because she’s at that age where she’s starting to get a dollar here and a dollar there. Well my Melissa really enjoys reading right before she goes to bed so I try as much as possible to buy books that teach her important lessons for the future you know when she gets older and has to make relevant life decision on her own. “Can I have Some Money Please?” by Twyla Prindle was the perfect choice! I mean I am raving about it to everyone! I can’t believe this book is so easy to read and yet it gets the point across to children so clearly about saving and managing money. On top of that the drawings were vibrant and enhanced the books appeal. I absolutely LOVED this book for my daughter. If you are a parent looking for the next perfect book to give to your children Twyla Prindle’s “Can I Have Some Money Please” is it!

Recently a friend of mine bought me a wall clock.  Upon receiving it my initial reaction was not one of excitement because I thought ‘oh, just another clock’, you know…no big deal.  However after hanging it in my office and seeing it day after day after day, I realized that it was no ordinary clock!  I know your wondering how can a clock be….well….unordinary?  But I promise you that everytime I was sitting in my office procastinating or unable to work I would glance at the clock and there it was written boldly in the center of the clock, “Now is the Time”. Those four motivational words would whip me into shape and next thing you know my to do list became a done list!  You want to know the latest buzz? It’s Now Is The Time products.  I went to their website and not only do they have clocks but also wristwatches, t-shirts, mugs and so much more! Check them out!
