One Big Turkey

One Big Turkey written and illustrated by Anne Vittur Kennedy is a beautiful board book. It is very colorfully illustrated and is full of different animals. It is a counting book that goes to the number 10. It would be a very good book to teach children to count and identify numbers up to 10. It would also be good to help them identify animals and different foods available during the harvest season. It also introduces Thanksgiving. The animals although are cartoon type illustrations look very realistic at the same time.

I would say this gook is geared toward toddlers and even early readers. It is a very durable board book and great quality. The cover is embellished with foil outlines.  It is very bright and colorful and will make a wonderful addition to any child’s library.  I absolutely love the illustrations and have flipped through several times just to admire the work.

The Spiritual Warfare Answer Book

 

The Spiritual Warfare Answer Book by Dr. David Jeremiah “answers your questions about protecting yourself against Satan’s attacks. Scripture tells us our adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” In Dr. Jeremiah’s book he  teaches us how to protect ourselves against spiritual warfare going on all around us.

In today’s world we can see Satan working overtime to destroy this world and it is so important for Christians to protect themselves by using the full armor of God. God gives us instructions in the bible on how we fight the spiritual battles. Dr. Jeremiah breaks it down into easy to understand teachings. He shows us it is important to know your enemy and how to learn about him appropriately. He also teaches us how to ready ourselves.

If you are battling a spiritual battle as I’m sure many of us are I would highly recommend The Spiritual Warfare Answer Book. It is pretty quick to read through but it is full of great teachings. Easy to follow and understand.

Doodletopia Manga

 

I recently reviewed Christopher Hart’s Doodletopia Cartoons and loved it so I was excited to see Doodletopia Manga. I am not disappointed. “ From dressing up super-cute chibis to designing your own manga mazes to completing manga scenes and creating manga inspired crafts like bookmarks, stationery, and more, the opportunities for creative expression are endless.”

This book is filled with cute manga characters, cute animals and scenes. There are step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. There are sections to suggest ways to finish your drawings by adding scenes to make them into a story and more interesting.  I’m not sure I would consider the bonus section to really be “crafts and cut-outs” as it is just book marks that you can draw on and cut out but they are cute and a way to practice, and also some stationary pages to finish.  There is also a practice page included in the back to doodle on. He has includes pages to practice finishing scenes and such.

I plan on keeping this in my collection for future use. I think it would be good for anyone who may be interested in the manga characters and drawing cartoon figures. It would be great for older kids to get started with drawing also.
