Go to Sleep, Sheep! Book Review


I received this book free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Go to Sleep, Sheep! is a children's board book written by George Beahm and illustrated by Sydney Hanson. This book is part of the series, Bedtime Barn. Adorable sheep and rhyming verses grace the pages of this book to help lull your little one off to sleep. This book tries to help convince even the most stubborn to drift off to sleep with its silly story.

Zari enjoying the Go to Sleep, Sheep! book.

What We Thought:
This board book with sparkly cover has an adorable story about little sheep that try to delay bedtime. The colorful pastel illustrations are lovely and have not only sheep, but other animals that might be on a farm. The sheep have a bow, glasses, and scarf. Most pages end in the phrase, "Go to Sleep, Sheep!" as the mama sheep tries to get them to go to sleep.

This is very cute and most parents and little ones can relate to this story. I recommend this board book for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners most of all. My youngest daughter, Zari, who is in first grade also loves this book! It is the perfect size for little hands to hold and the sturdy pages are less vulnerable to tearing. She is learning to read and it has the perfect amount of words on each page for her. She also loves looking at the adorable illustrations as well.

I received this book free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

One Christmas Bear is an adorable counting board book that features a sweet polar bear and his friends as they have winter fun during the Christmas holiday. The text is in a nice rhyming prose and counts up, from 1 to 10. These arctic animals are cute and beautifully illustrated by Anne Vittur Kennedy who is also the author. The cover is sparkly and shiny.

Zari enjoying One Christmas Bear.

What We Thought:
We loved this sweet book and its darling illustrations. The book is great to read to little ones at bedtime since the end winds down with the animals heading back to their homes and being sleepy. Since it is a board book it has nice durable pages and cover. The cover is also glittery around the bear and his scarf has shiny foil in it. The rhyming text that counts from 1 to 10 is great for younger children who need to learn to count. The setting is wonderful with snowy wintry scenes of making snow angels, decorating a Christmas tree, eating gingerbread cookies and candy canes, throwing snowballs, sledding, ice skating, etc. I love that the theme of this book is counting God's wonderful gifts. I highly recommend this book for little ones! It is the perfect gift for the Christmas season.

Blessing Nephite Children and Holy Ghost - LDS Book Reviews


I received these books free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.


“Blessing the Nephite Children” Summary:
Snuggle up with your kids and learn about Jesus’s visit to the Nephites. This colorful board book is perfectly designed for little fingers and small attention spans. Experience the beauty of Christ’s personal love in the Book of Mormon with your little ones and come to see the ways the Savior reaches out to them today.

Our Thoughts:
This adorable board book is from the Baby Book of Mormon Stories series. It is written by Catherine Christensen and illustrated by Jay Fontano. Jesus's love for all mankind, especially children shows in this book for youngsters. The illustrations are colorful, fun, and cartoon like to hold the attention of little ones. My daughter Zari loved this book. Her sister Teela read it to her and looked at the pictures with her. This book is a great sturdy book for little hands to introduce or reinforce the concept of Jesus's visit to the Americas and His love for all.


“The Holy Ghost” Summary:
Get to know the Holy Ghost, from baptism on! This engaging book provides fill-in-the-blank stories, coloring pages, and other fun activities for your kids to help get them ready to receive the Holy Ghost and rely on Him for the rest of their lives. Come to understand and feel the Spirit, one of the greatest gifts from God.

Our Thoughts:
The Holy Ghost: Discovering Your Extraordinary New Gift I thought that the coming of this soft cover book was very timely as my daughter Teela had turned 8 and gotten baptized last April. The Holy Ghost: Discovering Your Extraordinary New Gift is a wonderful activity 80 page book with fill-in-the-blanks, coloring pages, word searches, dot-to-dots, mazes, games, crack the code, crosswords, and many other fun filled pages. Answer keys are upside down on the pages that needs them and there are also some in the back of the book. This book teaches children the difference between the power and gift of the Holy Ghost. It also answers the questions of who the Holy Ghost is & how the Holy Ghost guides, comforts, warns and protects, testifies and teaches, and sanctifies teaching also how to use the gift. I think that this book is perfect for the child that just got baptized.

Baby’s First Book Blocks by Dan Stiles


We received this product free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this post. Thank you for supporting this blog.

Dan Stiles is a local author and artist that lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and daughters. He has done many things including  fabric, books, posters, t-shirts etc. His silk screen prints and other things are very colorful and stylized.

Baby’s First Book Blocks by Dan Stiles are 4 wonderful chunky board books that comes in a boxed set for babies that combine books and blocks together. This mini series will grab your baby's attention with its bold colors, diverse shapes, and intricate patterns. They help babies expand their visual and tactile awareness. I love that these books help babies grow and develop basic motor skills like: play-grasping, stacking, sorting, and turning pages. Since they are board books they will stand up to baby drool and little hands that might want to rip or tear things better than regular books. These are the perfect size for little hands to hold and grasp. I like that the Baby’s First Book Blocks has images in both black and white and colors. I love that these books have a dual purpose and are a fun way to play with baby. These are great for ages 0-3. My 3 year old daughter, Zari, likes them a lot! I highly recommend them!
