Book Review/Giveaway: Mismatched Moira. Ends March 15th
Mismatched Moira by Alisa Brookins, illustrated by Linda Merritt
About the Book: Little Moira Goldstein has crowned herself The Queen of Color and why shouldn’t she? Who else but Moira would pair red sweatpants with a fuchsia tutu and top it off with a pink pompom sweater? What style! What fun! What color! Trouble is no one else in her family is very colorful…or are they?
My Review: Moira is the Queen of color. She happens to be the only one in the Goldstein family who pairs a hot pink with a fire engine red. She will wear one yellow sneaker with a black shoe. She is a fashionista and crowns herself the Queen of Color. Her family couldn’t understand why she loves to mismatch her clothing. Her mother even suggested in picking out her clothes for school but Moira feels she is capable in doing so herself, as she is the Queen of Color she feels colorful and fabulous.
This is a nice book for every little girl that loves to dress themselves no matter how mismatched her clothing is, she still feel fabulous. Book illustrated by Linda K. Merritt.

About
My name is Ella Johnson. I started Mymcbooks to promote reading. Mymcbooks is a part of Memorable Children Books & Gifts. 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
Books Given in 2012: 380

This is a terrific book for my granddaughter who loves to read. I liked and shared this on Facebook.
This book definitely reminds me of my daughter…the other day she had one pink shorts with a white t-shirt (in the middle of winter) and Santa Claus socks! LOL!

Sounds like my kind of girl…sweatpants and mismatched socks! I just try to pull it off as fashionable, haha! Sounds like a great book for the kids in my classroom!
My eight year old loves to play dress up. She would love this book! My own little princess

What a neat premise for a book. I made my Goddaughter and sons a box of dress up clothes from our Halloween costumes and things from the thrift store. They love it.

Who wouldn’t love to be Queen and especially one of colors!!! What a neat little book this is!
How freespirited Moira is! I love that she shows her individuality.
I think the concept behind this book is great! It should empower little girls to be individuals and to not care what others think about them! As a little girl, I wore outrageous clothing and it’s certainly helped with my confidence as I grew older. I feel like I’m my own person and an individual. I certainly don’t conform to others and I think it’s important for children to learn this while they’re young.

This reminds me of both my girls who have very definite ideas about fashion.
This reminded me of my 5 daughters growing up and thought they looked wonderful when allowed to dress themselves. They looked more like clowns lol Of course I never said that to them and if we were staying in they could wear whatever.

This sounds like my granddaughter; very creative! Would love to read this to her!
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to
say that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write
again soon!
I love that Moira is self confident and shows creativity with her clothing colors and choices.
I think it’s great that Moira Goldstein isn’t afraid to express herself and is very creative in her wardrobe choices.
This book could describe both of my kids. At early ages they have decided that they can dress themselves, as well as do most things by themselves. We would all enjoy reading this together. I love the illustrations- they are so colorful.
