My Review:

Written in verse, this is the story of a turtle who is hiding because of the fear he feels inside. He is frightened of almost everything in life; scared all the time. His only friend is a little mouse who visits him everyday and gives him some wise advice that helps him find faith, meaning in life, and the courage to live fully. Well-written and beautifully illustrated by the author, this book is a must read for a timid child or anyone who enjoys a meaningful story with lots of heart.

Stop It!

Author: Sally O. Lee
Paperback: 36 pages
Publisher: BookSurge Publishing (October 26, 2009)
Ages: 4-7 years
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1439261148

My Review:

Stop It! is the story of Anabel and her brother, George, the bully. Every time Anabel wants to play nicely, George is there to cause a little chaos. He seems to always want to make Anabel unhappy! Something happens, though, which causes George to rethink his negative actions.

This is a short, easy to read, children's book which is well-written, and illustrated by the author. I highly recommend it for young children.
