Book Review/Giveaway: Lil Glimmer. Ends March 10th
About the Book: Lil Glimmer is a star who learns patience and sharing from his mother. He gets frustrated, but in the end he realizes that taking his turn and sharing is the right thing to do.
My Review: What a cute book about patience and learning how to share. Glimmer the Star wanted to come out and play during the day but Mommy Star told Glimmer to wait for the darkness to come because it was the turn of the Sun to come out and play. This is a fun book to read to your child during bed time.
The illustrations by James McCullough are bright and bold and help tells the story.

About
My name is Ella Johnson. I started Mymcbooks to promote reading. As a former teacher, I know that making basic education fundamentals interesting to children can be challenging. Education can be fun, exciting and captivating for children with the right learning tools. So our goal is to “make learning interesting and fun” for the children while they learn by introducing them to fun books with colorful and captivating illustrations.
In 2009, I decided to start the giveaway program giving away free school supplies at random to 2 winners. I also started a monthly free giveaways for books and gifts.
August 2010, I extended the free school supplies from 2 to 5 winners at random on my blog and also give away 20 bags of school supplies to familes in need at Chick-fil-A in Brandon, Florida during their family nights. I intend to continue with this program to help parents.
In 2011, I started writing reviews on children’s books then giving these books away free on Mymcbooks Blog. I increase the number of books we giveaway free to help support parent. My goal is to give away 500 books a year.
Mymcbooks blog is always looking for ways to give kids free books. So I started Mymcbooks Birthday Library http://mymcbooksbirthdaylibrary.wordpress.com/
My goal for 2012 is to giveaway 300 books to children.
Books Given in 2011: 315

I like the unique idea of sharing using a little star and the sun analogy!
Most children have to process and practice patience and sharing in life…
What better way than to discuss it than a fun book with wonderful illustrations?!
Many thanks, Cindi
I really like the concept behind this book. It’s hard to learn to share, but it prepares children for the give and take of life. This book would be a great read for my own children as well as my school children. I’m a kindergarten teacher.

this would be a great book for my sister whose 3 year old daughter is having a hard time sharing with her 18 month old brother. I like the positive message and cute characters.
My daughter could certainly use a lesson about patience.
I am looking for books about things we associate with the night (stars, moons, fireflys) for our library’s summer reading progam and this sounds perfect.
This would be a great book for my nephew!
We love nighttime books to get the kids ready for bed – this looks adorable and one we would like to add to the collection!
The lesson of patience is sometimes hard for a child to embrace. A book that is attractively designed and written to express the trait of patience is a welcome addition to a child’s bookshelf.

I adore this little star’s face on the cover. Just precious.
I enjoyed reading the interview and getting to know the Author behind the book as well. Thanks for this chance. GFC name is Lucky47. Commented o the interview.

I am sure my impatient grandkids would love Lil Glimmer – most of the time they try very hard with each other but Lil Glimmer could show them that it isn’t just kids that need patience.

making a star the main character to deal with sharing is great – can be tied in with using a behavior chart at school/home!
What a great lesson to teach young ones. My children are pretty good about sharing and taking turns with others, but when it comes to sharing with each other, it doesn’t usually go over very well! LOL! I think this book would serve as a nice reminder for them
Patience and sharing are 2 of the main things we are focusing on now with my almost 3 year old. Since he is an only child, it is sometimes hard to find as many opportunites to encourage them. This book sounds like a good way to explain them at his level.
