MY REVIEW FOR DANNY THE DRAGON "MEETS JIMMY" BY TINA TURBIN




I would like to start by saying thank you to Tina Turbin for giving me the opportunity to review this wonderful book  DANNY THE DRAGON "MEETS JIMMY" BY TINA TURBIN AND THE CD ~DANNY THE DRAGON "DREAMS"  BY TINA TURBIN.  Nominee for Best Children's Picture Book 2009

Published: December 19th 2008 by Imagination Publishing Group Hardcover, 32 pages

ISBN10: 0980072115
ISBN13: 9780980072112


The picture above is of my youngest son and he sat there for a long while listening to the cd read him the story over and over again.  He just loved this book and he said his favorite part of the book is when Danny the Dragon comes out of the shell.  The pictures are very colorful and very well done and I would like to say that Aija Jasuna is a very talented artist and I think that also has a lot to do with keeping a childs attention along with this great and well written story.  I have to say that my son usually flips through a book real quick just to see if he thinks he will like it and then moves to the next.  I was very pleased to see that he picked it up and looked through it and had a smile on his face while he was searching through it. I really liked the fact that the children were so polite and helpful and I am thinking maybe some of that will rub off on them ( I can only hope).  The book is well written and very easy for the kids to understand and I enjoyed reading it to them probably as much as they liked it. 



The CD DREAMS has the story being read by Janis Welch and 10 songs composed by Lisa Miller, Jason Turbin, and Ali Helnwein.  The CD is wonderful and quite frankly after a long day at work laying down with the kids to listen to the story and then the music I was very pleased with the soothing effect it has. It is very relaxing not only does it calm the kids down it is a great help to mom also.  All profits from this CD go to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center.

 

A little bit about the Author Tina Turbin.  She has enjoyed many years working with children and their families educating them on celiac disease, allergies and gluten-free issues.  She lends her expertise to a variety of weekly publications, radio shows, and web sites.  She has her own gluten-free resource web site http://www.glutenfreehelp.info/ .

JUST LET ME LIE DOWN BOOK GIVEAWAY (ENDED)


JUST LET ME LIE DOWN
BY
KRISTIN VAN OGTROP

Kristin van Ogtrop knows she's lucky--fulfilling career, great husband, three healthy kids, and, depending on the hamster count, an impressive roster of pets. She also knows she is tired. Always.


Using stories and insights from her own life, she provides a lexicon for the half-insane working mom. Anyone who has left a meeting to race to the Halloween parade immediately understands van Ogtrop's definition of "Kill the messenger" as "The action you must take in order to forget about the office for a time--that is, to remove your Blackberry/Treo/iPhone/whatever from your person and store it as far away as your neurotic self will allow." Filled with essays, lists, and resonant observations, JUST LET ME LIE DOWN establishes van Ogtrop as the Erma Bombeck of the new millennium.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THE PRODUCT REVIEW PLACE AND THE HACHETTE BOOK GROUP TO GIVEAWAY 3 COPIES OF JUST LET ME LIE DOWN BY KRISTIN VAN OGTROP.
