The Adventures of the Traveling Boots

Where will the boots travel to next? With a spin of the wheel and a click of their heels they're on their way to historic USA.

The Adventures of the Traveling Boots by Kimberly Abbott Hill is a wonderful, educational book that will have kids reading over and over again. Written in rhyme, Kimberly has taken children on a historical adventure throughout the United States.

The journey starts at the Liberty Bell for an important lesson then continues on to Yellowstone National Park, New York's Statue of Liberty, Washington D.C. and finally to New Orleans. The traveling boots make learning fun and kids are sure to remember all the great locations and interesting facts.

In addition to being educational, the traveling boots also has bright, bold illustrations done by 12 year old, Madeline Norton. Kids are sure to relate to Madelines sweet illustrations that bring the boots to life.

The Adventures of the Travel Boots is the first in a soon-to-be series. Check out their web site at; http://www.thetravelingboots.com/ for more fun ideas and activities.

The Adventures of the Traveling Boots is avaialbe for sale on Amazon.com and at the web site.

Stop by tomorrow when I'll have my interview with the author of "The Traveling Boots" Kimberly Abbott Hill.

Little Skiff Copes with Valley Fever

Little Skiff, a two year old Sheltie, has a great life with his family in Arizona. He runs and plays with the kids and loves his adventures off his leash. Skiffs favourite time of the year is monsoon season when the strong winds kick up all sorts of tantalizing smells as Skiff is busy digging in the ground – that is until Skiff develops a weird cough and hurts his knee. What will the vet find? Will Skiff be okay?

Little Skiff Copes with Valley Fever by Dany Pierard-Deviche is a wonderful little chapter book that helps children deal with sickness. Skiff’s narrative voice in the face of illness, and the unique balance of fiction and non-fiction makes this book a wonderfully educational read.
The illustrations are simple and sweet and only add to the unique flavour of the story. The end of the book shows actually photos of Skiff’s x-rays as well as a glossary of words.
