    I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of this book for review. This review is not a paid review but includes an affiliate link for those that are interested in purchasing.

    The story was written by Jeff Sikaits and Jake Wheeler. The Art was by Gerran Torres and Leisha San.

    This book was a fast and fun read! It does a great job with character development. Each bird is given an introduction, a nickname, and has visually unique characteristics. Some characters are a bit edgy, but this helps the reader to keep track of each of the characters and their role in the story.

    After reading the story, I believe it fits into the 8-12 age ranged. The press release mentions it being like a Sopranos story for 7 years old. I agree with that but would recommend it for the 10-12 year range.

  • Fall Is Here ! How Are You Keeping the Nursery Warm ?

    We are looking into a safe way to warm a nursery. From what we’ve read you want something cool to touch and with auto shut off. We are between getting these to model

    The first one does not have the crib sensor and precise temperatures so I think we will go with the second. A review may follow once we receive it !
