Let's Get Ready For Bed

This book is the first book that I did not read first. I listened to this book for the first and only reading so far, something I don't think has happened before. We all sat on our daughter's bed and listened to Daddy read the story. Of course, as soon as it was finished, our daughter immediately wanted it read again and was quite disappointed when that didn't happen. This was a book I let her pick out of a few options and she was so excited about it coming in the mail.

Written by the popular singer, Michael W. Smith, G-Daddy to 14 grandchildren and Mike Nawrocki, co-founder of the popular Veggie Tales is whimsical bedtime story about a little puppy getting ready for bed. It's all rhyming verse, which endears a story to me immediately, and goes through the basic bedtime routines, brushing teeth, saying prayers, a story, and a lullaby. The puppy's friends look on until they are needed. It's just a cute, fun story.

The pictures add to the whimsy of it. You can see from the front cover the style of illustrations, not really true to life, but to me they are cute and just fit with the story. The cover is also fun with some tactile sensations included on the clouds. This would make a great Christmas gift to the little ones in your life who need a good bedtime story.

As an added plus, there's a link included with the book that allows you to listen to Michael W. Smith singing the lullaby that's written in the book. This is the second in a series of bedtime books put out by Nurturing Steps. Nurturing Steps was founded by Michael W Smith and is an infant and toddler series of children's music and books with a simple mission to enliven a child's journey with hope and faith through music and storytelling.

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 ...

All the Pretty Things by Edie Wadsworth

I haven't posted a book review in over two weeks, I must be lazing off!!! Actually, I had two books going at once and also read a non-review book in between. Not that I think anyone missed me or anything. But just to be clear, I am back and have about six books to review in the next few weeks. Okay, "All the Pretty Things". When I started this book, I loved it. I thought it was an amazing story and it is. Edie was born to an alcoholic father. She rarely saw him sober, but she loved him and enabled him until his dying day. She missed that father figure in her life and attempted to salve that wound by working hard at everything she put her hand to except her marriage. She was raised in rather extreme poverty. Her parents divorced and both remarried, but divorced again. She was abused as a child, though it became a repressed memory that came out through recurring nightmares. She was introduced to Jesus and would often respond to altar calls to make sure she was saved. Sh...
