Read Children's Books

Yesterday I read several books to my toddler that I thought are worth mentioning:

1) "God Gave Us You" (Rhyming Children's Picture Book) by (no author specified :)

Nicely written with captivating illustrations and sweet rhymes that make a child feel special. A good book.


Then there was this one which was not that good:

2) "God Gave Me You" (A Picture Book For Young Children And Their Parents) by Cindy Bracken

Why wasn't it good? There is hugging happening right on the cover, so it should be good, right? Plus the title is a dead giveaway. Well, the most common phrase there is "I must have done something right, because got gave me you." Really? In a Christian book? The author really believes that through someone's good actions they were blessed with a child? That if you have a miscarriage, stillbirth or won't have any children at all, you'd better change your behavior and start doing "something right".



And next:

3) "Children's book: Candy Andy and the rainbow dinner" (Happy Motivated children's books Collection) by Yonit Werber

This was a cute book about healthy eating - turning it into a game and "tricking" a child but not making it a chore or something they didn't want to do. If it only happened all the time :).

The only criticism? A typo!  A "bowel of pumpkin soup"??? No, thank you :D
