Better Than Ever, Again - A Review

Is Dad a reader?  Does he love a great suspense/adventure novel? 

Better Than Ever, Again by Mitch Davies may be an awesome gift for Father's Day.

Ben soon has his suspicious of the validity of what he's got himself into.  However, after Ben meets a beautiful Tahitian women, he's torn about the decision to stay with the yacht, despite the dangers, or stick it out to see where his growing affection for Maeva will lead.

Take a fantastic journey in Better Than Ever, Again.  For more information, check out; http://www.pensmithbooks.com/.  Also available on Amazon

About the Author

Mitch Davies was born in Canada and spent 40 years there before moving to the desert of Arizona. He is a true child of the media having grown up with a father who worked his entire career in the film industry. The house he grew up in had a television on from the time he woke up until he went to bed. The influence of stories, whether real or made up, was always present. Due to this exposure, Mitch viewed most of life's occurrences as scenes for a story.

Jack the Kitten is Very Brave

Jack and Machu are brothers.  Machu is very brave.  And so is Jack...or so he thinks.

Jack the kitten loves everything pirate - the swords, the language, the buried treasure.  The only thing Jack doesn't like about the pirate life is the WATER!

Will Machu playing bathtub-pirates be enough to convince Jack to join him?  Can Jack overcome his fear?

Find out in the adorable book, The Adventures of Machu & Jack; Jack the Kitten is Very Brave by Tabitha Grace Smith.

I LOVED this book!  The story was cute, adventurous, yet simple enough that kids will understand and be able to follow along.

The wonderful illustrations by Mindy Lou Hagan are wonderfully silly.  Hagan's ability to show expressions on Jack and Machu is perfect - I even giggled a couple of times.
This book would be perfect for any child, but especially those that may have a fear of swimming - plus who doesn't like pirates...ARRRHHH!
