Flashlight is one of the best books I have come across in quite some time. It is a wordless picture book that features a small child exploring the night in the forest with a flashlight.

This treasury of Bible stories is beautifully put together. The illustrations are engaging and colorful, and the rhyming text is fun to read. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about a rhyming Bible story book. To my delighted surprise, the rhyming verse is well done, and it really does add to the enjoyment of the stories for young readers. As soon as I opened up the box for this book, our daughter was quick to take it into the family room and snuggle up and start reading…Enough said!

The Kissing Hand is an old favorite to read at the start of the school year. Little Chester Raccoon is hesitant to leave his mother’s side and go to school. She assures him that he will love school once he is busy playing with new toys, new books, and new friends.

The kissing hand allows a little love from home to be with Chester at all times and gives him the confidence he needs to tackle his first day of school. Quite simply a heartwarming story that provides true comfort to little ones and perhaps a few Mommies and Daddies too!
