Summary
Two books from our GIVEAWAY are reviewed today. Be sure to leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing.
A Little Bit of Love includes flocking on the cover of both the paperback and the hardcover versions of the book. A little mouse is feeling peckish, needing something new to nibble. As she and Mama Mouse gather ingredients, they talk about the love present in each ingredient and in the making of the treat.
Panda-monium is the story of little Beckett, a lone panda who is feeling hungry so he heads off in search of bamboo. As he journeys, other little pandas join the parade toward bamboo. After awhile, Beckett starts to wonder if he'll ever get bamboo.
Review
Love is a sweet, beautiful story of love and relationship. I loved how Mama Mouse interacted with her daughter, talking about the love that goes into each ingredient they use, and how love makes things special.
5 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: readers under 8, moms and kids who enjoy baking, story time with a baking activity, bedtime reading, baby gift for new mother.
Panda is a cute counting book. Readers can count each group of panda's that join in the journey and how many pandas there are all together.
3 out of 5 stars

Love the premise of "A Little Bit of Love". Cooking with my daughters is a special time for us. It really does build relationships. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! It helps to have someone reviewing the books for me, I spend SOOO much time perusing them - not that I really mind! (Penny Price)
ReplyDeleteCooking, not with a daughter, but with the twin boys, is always fun - and sometimes exciting. And they appreciate learning, helping, and the end results! What a great book! - - Penny Price
