Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester L Laminack illustrated by Henry Cole
Nothing unusual ever happened on the Tuckers farm. Until the day that peacock showed up…
When a glamorous visitor lands unexpectedly in their midst and begins attracting customers, three hardworking hens protest: How come we do all the hard work and he gets all the attention? To keep the peace, the wise old hound dog suggests a swap. The hens and the peacock soon find out that others jobs are not always as easy as they seem. What will happen when three gussied-up hens spend the day prancing and parading at passing cars? And will that peacock ever figure out how to lay an egg?
My Review: The Hens were not happy that they had to do all the work while Peacock gets all the attention. Lesson learnt – Be thankful for the gift you have. Don’t ask for somebody else’s gift because you may not have the skills to do what they do with their gift. Henry Cole did a great job with the illustration. The looks on the Hens were really funny looking.
Camp K-9 BY Mary Ann Rodman illustrated by Nancy Hayashi
Roxie and her fellow dog campers are headed to Camp K-9 for all kinds of doggy fun. But Roxy has a secret: she brought her blanket in her Pooch Pouch. If the other campers find out, they will call her a puppy. Even worse, a mean Standard Poodle named Lucy seems determined to cause trouble and if Lucy sniffs out her secret, Roxy will really be in the doghouse.
All through the Camp K-9 activities, from Mutt Hutt high-jinks to Chow Hall chow-downs, from Splash Pals to Pup & Paddle, from building bone and stick houses in Barks & Crafts, to fur-raising tellings of The Haunted Mail Truck around the campfire, Roxie and her friends cower from the fearsome Lucy. Then Roxie discovers that Lucy has a secret, too…
My Review: Every child had a blanket when they were young. I held on to mine till I was 20. I laid it at the foot of my bed…lol!
Roxie was finding it hard to let go of her blanket when she was sent off to Camp. She’s worried the other dogs will discover her secret. Only to find out that Lacy had a big secret of her own. Nancy Hayashi did a great picture illustration.
Bring On the Birds written and illustrated by Susan Stockdale
Mymcbooks, a customer just told us your review on ‘Bring On the Birds was helpful to them while shopping on Amazon. Oct 27th, 2012
Birds come in all sorts of interesting shapes, sizes, and colors and many of them can do amazing things as well. Can you imagine…
Dancing birds, Diving birds, Hanging birds, Hiding birds… They’re all real!
In her latest book, noted author-illustrator Susan Stockdale introduces young readers to both exotic and familiar birds in energetic rhyming text. The bright, bold colors and crisp, clean lines of Stockdale’s birds, depicted in their natural habitats, can’t help but grab your attention. An after word identifies each animal and tells a little bit about it and where it lives.
My Review: What a great way to introduce readers to the exotic and familiar birds in s simple rhyming text, with vibrant and exciting colors. Towards the end of the story, Susan Stockdale gives an educational background and descriptive text of the different type of birds she listed in her book. A must have for classroom teaching.

Thanks for the great giveaway. I enjoy sharing books with my daughter — especially those that include life lessons.
I’m an email subscriber.
I follow your delightful book blog…
The three books in your giveaway are such cute stories and I love the
animation in them. Books written that have values in them are always
important and fun to read…
Many thanks, Cindi
A peacock laying an egg just made me crack up! This sounds perfect for my cousin’s child, she loves super imaginative books =) Thank you! edysicecreamlover18@gmailDOTcom
Blog hops are so much fun, wish everyone had some!
I want to read more about the peacocks and how u should be thankful. Good lesson for kids.
K9 camp reminds me of my son he carried his blanket EVERYWHERE until he was 7. It mysteriously dissappeared and he cried for awhile.
Birds are also fun to learn about!
Great giveaway and thanks

i have two toddlers and we love to read at night- these books sound perfect for them! Thanks for the chance!
An amazing Blog Hop. These three books are great reads for Parents and their kids. Teaching Life lessons is always better while kids are enjoying the reads at the same time. Count me in as well.

I can relate to Camp K-9. My brother had his “sniffie” blanket till it was worn down to the size of a small piece of paper. Heaven help us if his blanket was left somewhere.
I am a email subscriber. I think the camp k-9 sounds like a perfect book to help prepare kids to go to camp.

All three of these books look darling, but I absolutely have to find out if that peacock ever figures out how to lay an egg
I teach a class of 7 year olds at my church and think they would have a lot to learn from that story–that you can’t compare yourself to others because everyone has their own special gifts and talents!
I am an email subscriber, and love your blog!

My little one loves books about animals. He’s especially like the ones about the chickens and the peacock. Great stuff!

I am always looking for books that involve rhyming words for my classroom library. The fact that the last book is about birds, too, makes it even better! It’s educational in more than one way!

My current focus is on books for my granddaughter… she loves being read to & books that are colorful really get her attention.
I believe that ones love of reading transfers to their children, so books with lessons to be learned (as in Three Hens and a Peacock)
are of particular interest to me. Thanks for the giveaway.

My son loves books about birds, so Bring on The Birds would be perfect for him! So many neat birds to learn about. Love that it is so colorful! Email subscriber.
As a former Kindergarten teacher I know how valuable reading is to a young child. Both my children grew up to be avid readers & now I hope to instill this love of books in my 5 year old grandson. Thanks for the chance.

These books all look wonderful. I like books that teach something be it a moral or about birds. I think all of these books would be good conversation starters.

Thank you for giving us a chance to win children’s books! My step-daughter is 8 and would love them, especially Camp K-9 (she loves dogs). When she’s done with them I can pass them on to my sister for her son who will be 4 in January 2012. My step-daughter loves to give her books to my nephew.

Since I have a 3 year old I like books with great illustration which these 3 books seem to have. I also like a lesson for my daughter to learn or are relateable in some way! These books look perfect for her! I just love the Three Hens and a peacock cover! That definetly looks like one I’d pick up to read to her!!

I loved your thoughts on Camp K-9. I also have to admit that I am in my mid-30′s and I STILL have my blankie! Granted I don’t sleep with it, but that’s probably because I don’t want my kids or the cat to get it dirty, so it’s put away for safe-keeping, LOL:) Thanks so much!
My son loves birds, so I think he would enjoy that book a lot. Especially the colors. They are so bright and inviting.

I subscribed to your blog. I liked how all three of these books had animal themes and sound very interesting.
These books look AMAZING!! I think my 3 year old would absolutely adore them, especially since they all have animals in them. I myself can personally relate to Camp K-9. I’m 26 and STILL sleep with my baby blanket; I used to be so embarrassed taking it to friends’ houses for sleepovers but after awhile I just stopped caring what people thought because it made me feel safe!

The bird book would be very helpful in identifying different types of birds
