Tea with the Queen

Tea with the Queen

Author: Chrissi Hart
Illustrator: Stephen Macquignon
Book Link: CLICK HERE
Length: 30 pages

Print Price: $9.99
Kindle Price: $2.99

This story was super cute and sweet. A grandmother mouse is having her 100th Birthday and is invited to come to England and has tea with the mouse Queen of England and is allowed to bring 2 guest with her. As the story progresses there are a few close calls. While being an adventure none the less they make it to the destination a bit later then they thought. Did they make it in time? Read the story to find out, by clicking the link above.

My niece who is 6 said that she loved the book. She really enjoyed the adventure the mice went on. I did notice that there were some words that I know she would have not been able to get through if I were to give her this book. But, nothing that would stop from enjoying the bright and well drawn pictures that cover the pages.

The illustrations were my favorite part. So detailed and colorful. Not to mention looking like the actual animal just hopping off the page. There was nothing I feel missing with the story picture wise. I do however, feel that at the end there was a chunk missing from the point with the the dogs to the moment they are with the queen. I know my niece did not think much of it but to someone older it seems like something is missing. Otherwise, a great story for children of all ages.

With Christmas right around the corner,we are all looking for that very special gift wrap. The one that defines who we are.

When Collage.com contacted me to review there wrapping paper, I immediately said YES.
I didn't think twice. I ordered my Gift wrap ,11x14 ornament , and a 6ft roll of wrapping paper, which you can add from 20 to 200 photos online, and it is very easy to do.  It arrived 2 days after I put my order in! It  also gives you great choices of where you can go to upload your pics. I feel that with this gift wrap you make a statement before your family even open their gift. Whether it’s a picture from your first date for that important anniversary; embarrassing baby photos for your kid’s 16th birthday or just a montage of adorable pictures of your puppy, their  custom wrapping paper is a great way to make your gift fun and memorable.

I have ordered the Photo Books from Collage.com and the pictures were amazing! I thought that if they were on wrapping paper , they would look weird , I was very shocked to find out that the quality is the best! The  pictures grabbed my attention, the one of my sister which is kind of old looks even better than the one I have on my computer!
Here is a pic of what it looks like when it arrives.

Maybe this isn't a very fancy tube, but ... I didn't order the tube.. I ordered what is inside. ;)
So.. here is the pic of me pulling out the gift wrap inside. (note: to me it was a little hard to open so, I asked hubby to help.)

And here is my masterpiece!!
The picture on my gift wrap looked so perfect!!

The Ornament come in 2 shapes , oval or rectangle. I chose oval with the picture of my sister whom, passed away 10 yrs. ago. The picture looks so good , I love it!

I also ordered my Aluminum 11x14!

All, this pictures were through out the year! Now what better way, to end the year, than with awesome memories!

Merry Christmas, Little Hoo!

Merry Christmas, Little Hoo!
By Brenda Ponnay


Print Price: $9.99
Kindle Price: $2.99
Length: 32 Pages

This book is sweet and cute. The main character Little Hoo I have found on is a star character in it's own set of stories from all the Holidays and special events that occur through out the year. In this particular story Little Hoo is enticed but the little sounds he hears through out the night as he waits for Santa to visit his house. Each time that he hears something he goes looking to see what it could be and it ends up not being what his mind has dreamt of. Until the moment he finally falls asleep and does not go in search of what is making the sound.

I find this is a beautifully illustrated story made of brilliant colored pictures. She not only illustrate the story but was the author also Ponnay kept it simple it does seem to repeat certain phrases but it does not take away from the book. I also love that because certain phrases are repeated it makes those learning to read alone or with someone much easier for them to get through not to mention the short and to the point sentences.

However, for the Holiday and those who I would believe this is gauged for is great work and beautifully executed. I would get it for those learning to read and those who love owl especially.
