MISTAKE - YOUR KIDS' BEST FRIEND!

Being a parent is tough. You can easily be tempted to give in and act as a friend. After all, wouldn’t you want to see your child smiling every time he sees you? That is just natural. However, understand that it is for your child’s own good that you act as the parent that you should be.

By being the constantly smiley best friend, you may end up setting up your child for failure. He may even become too dependent on you, which we would like to avoid. It does not mean, though, that you should be completely strict and brash. You just have to be firm when you have to, but you are still the loving parent that you want to be...

He will know that you are not just there to laugh with him but also to provide discipline, training, and the skills that would help him succeed in the future!!!

Bamse Came Too

'Bamse Came Too' is a lavishly illustrated children's picture book authored by Anna Mandell and illustrated by Richard Maby. The book tells of the adventures of a St Bernard dog that was adopted as the mascot of the Free Norwegian Forces after the German invasion of Norway in 1940. Bamse, whose name means 'teddy bear' in Norwegian, grew too big to feed on wartime rationing in Norway and was taken aboard by his owner Captain Erling Hafto. He and Bamse sailed from Honningsvag in Norway to Montrose in Scotland, as part of the escort for King Haakon, when he sought refuge in Britain.

During the voyage, Bamse alerts the crew to the plight of a Polish airman who has ditched his Spitfire in the North Sea, and on another occasion he jumps into the sea to support a drowning sailor whose ship has been torpedoed. Hafto, his ship and Bamse were stationed in Montrose throughout the war. Bamse was credited with saving several people from drowning and was awarded the PDSA Medal for Bravery.

It is a splendid tale of a wonderful dog, and one which has a happy ending, set against a backdrop of the Second World War. The book is superbly produced on 400gsm glossy paper with a stitched spine, which means it can withstand being opened and laid flat without breaking. It really is more like a coffee table book than a picture book for children. In addition, it covers one of the historical topics in the UK primary school syllabus. The book is produced in paperback, in a square format, 52 pages and is on sale in Amazon at £5.99 plus postage as well as Waterstones and other good booksellers.

Baby Girl Book 2: Moonlighting in Paris

Follow Cleo as she transforms into the glamorous Justine and falls into a life of unimaginable wealth when Didier the owner of a hotel empire is beguiled by her mysterious and naïve charms. Her life becomes one of luxury and fame beyond anything she could have ever imagined. Remnants of her past continue to haunt her and a new threat appears; is her latest peril related to her past or someone else’s, someone who has become a large part of her new life.

Excerpt from  Baby Girl Book 2: Moonlighting in Paris

The resort we stayed in was just off the beach and my suite was much smaller and simpler than what I had grown accustomed too. Tired from the flight and with a few hours to settle-in before our dinner, I made my way to the beach. Never had I seen such clear ocean water. Where the ocean met the beach the tide followed a zigzag pattern. I followed the pattern for quite a way before settling in the sand and allowing the water to move up and down my legs in a rhythmic fashion. Past moments flickered through my head. How my life had changed in just a couple short years. Instead of warehouses and leftovers I was flying to fascinating romantic places. As I lay my head back in the sand, and closed my eyes, Einstein’s face flashed behind my lids and I felt him. Knowing the moment would only last for a few short seconds I held on as long as I could, but he was already gone. Baby Girl Book 2: Moonlighting in Paris

Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventuresvvv

Holy unanticipated occurrences! A cynic meets an unlikely superhero in a genre-breaking new novel by master storyteller Kate DiCamillo.

It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry — and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart. From #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric, endearing characters and featuring an exciting new format — a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic sequences and full-page illustrations, all rendered in black-and-white by up-and-coming artist K. G. Campbell.
