Night Night Jungle by Amy Parker

Night Night, Jungle
Illustrated by Virginia Allyn

A lovely board book with a slightly padded front cover, about 8x8 inches, Night Night Jungle is a rhyming book that talks about telling the jungle animals good night.

This would make a great addition to a baby/toddler book collection, though my preschooler also still really likes it.

I love rhyming books and I have at least one other book by Amy and just really liked it, which is why I picked this one this time. It didn't disappoint.

It starts with the sun going down and the animals getting ready to go to bed. We bid good night to lemurs, jaguars, toucans, chameleons, monkeys, parrots, frogs, and sloths. Each page shows the animal featured on the next page so you have a hint of what is coming. At the end, the moon is rising and God's creatures go to sleep. It talks of how God loves us, both at home and in the jungle, and then ends with "night night God."

"It's time for the tadpoles
To rest their sleepy heads;
They'll take a ride on Daddy's back
Then drop right into bed.

Night night, frogs."

The illustrations are cute and colorful, fairly real to life, but not quite, if that makes any sense. You can tell by the picture of the front cover what they look like. It's nicely done though. I like them.

I received this book from Book Look Bloggers and was not required to write a positive review.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
