The Beauty Book~The Lily Series – Nancy Rue

The Lily Series is a group of Christian books that include fiction as well as non-fiction titles and devotionals.  The Beauty Book explores beauty on the inside as well as the outside and is targeted to a “tween” audience.  It does an excellent job revealing what true beauty really is as well as tackling common questions and concerns of young girls in a God-centered manner.

While this complimentary book was provided for review by Thomas Nelson Publishers, no other compensation was given.  All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.

Bear on a Bike – Stella Blackstone

I was organizing the book basket downstairs earlier today, and I came across this beloved book.  Bear on a Bike was an early favorite for our daughter.  Using a myriad of different forms of transportation (bike, train, raft, boat and hot-air balloon), Bear explores the world.  A young child follows Bear throughout the journey asking questions of the bear the entire time.  The simple text and bright, colorful pictures are a delight for readers young and old.  This one is a winner!
