<p><center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/easter2.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7601" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Easter Bunnies" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/easter2-300x71.gif" alt="Easter Bunnies" width="300" height="71" /></a></center><br/></p>
<p>Easter is just around the corner, and the Easter Bunny is busy gathering ideas for gifts to leave in those Easter Baskets.</p>
<p>Here’s a few gems that are sure to educate and entertain the kids.  Whether you’re a parent, or a grandparent, books, childrens music CDs and movie DVDs are always nice to tuck away for those April Shower rainy days!</p>
<p><strong><br />
<h1>Jamie and The Angel:  Meeting Her Guardian Angel</strong></h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>First up is a body, mind and spirit childrens book by Carol Guy, <strong><em>“Jamie and The Angel:  Meeting Her Guardian Angel&#8221;</em></strong> (Marvelous Spirit Press).</p>
<p><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JamieAngelbook1.JPG"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7607" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="Jamie and the Angels Childrens Book" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JamieAngelbook1.JPG" alt="Jamie and the Angels Childrens Book" width="160" height="200" /></a>Beautifully illustrated by Richa Kinra, Jamie and the Angel is about children who are gifted in the psychic area.  I’ve <a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/sixth-sense-intuition-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/" target="_blank">written here before </a>that I, myself profess to have some sort of psychic ability, or <em>Sixth Sense</em>, if you prefer.  Although my <em>“gift”</em> didn’t develop until I was older, children are capable of such  intuitive insights also.</p>
<p>Written in an easy to understand prose, Guy tells the story of Jamie, an 8-year old girl who doesn’t understand why she feels different from her peers, until an Angel appears to help her by providing guidance.  Appended at the end is a reference guide for parents.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm delighted to have the opportunity to have reviewed Katie &#038; Kimble, "A Ghost Story" to recommend to you just in time for your child's summer reading list (or anytime!).

Katie &#038; Kimble "A Ghost Story" is Book 1 in a Series by Linda Thieman.<p>Southern Magnolia Minerals Brazilian Bronzer & Giveaway is a post from: <a href="http://greatfindsandgiveaways.com/how-to-look-like-the-girl-from-ipanema-with-southern-magnolia-minerals-brazilian-bronzer/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow>Great Finds and Giveaways</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1089" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Katie &amp; Kimble A Ghost Story " src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/katieghostbook1cover.jpg" alt="Katie &amp; Kimble A Ghost Story " height="261" width="170">&lt;</center><br/></p>
<p>Schools will soon be out of session for the summer here in <span class="zem_slink">New England</span>.&nbsp; In many parts of the country, school&#8217;s out already!</p>
<p>My girls were always sent home with the required book reading lists.&nbsp; I always encouraged some &#8220;extra reading&#8221; of books of their own choosing.</p>
<p>If you follow along on my other blogs, you&#8217;ll know that at one point I almost became a Reference Librarian.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m delighted to have the opportunity to have reviewed <strong>Katie &amp; Kimble, &#8220;A <span class="zem_slink">Ghost Story</span>&#8220;</strong> to recommend this parenting tip to you just in time for your child&#8217;s summer reading list or leisure time reading!</p>
<p>Katie &amp; Kimble &#8220;A Ghost Story&#8221; is Book 1 in a Series by Linda Thieman.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Nine-year-old Katie Russell and her family LOOK like a normal family. But the Russells don&#8217;t know they are living with Kimble, the ghost of a 10-year-old girl. That is, until Katie discovers Kimble and the two of them set off on a quest to find out what happened to Kimble&#8217;s mother.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>A Ghost Story is recommended for ages 7-10.&nbsp; The print is large enough for young eyes.&nbsp; The book is written in a conversational tone, with lots of back and forth bantering.</p>
<p>There are several black and white illustrated photos.&nbsp; Book 1 of the series has 11 chapters, and 106 pages &#8211; enough to keep the kids occupied for awhile once they get into the story!</p>
<p>If you homeschool, make sure to add this charming mystery book to your child&#8217;s reading list this summer!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-477" title="child-reading255230682_4b9f6c66af" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/child-reading255230682_4b9f6c66af-214x300.jpg" alt="child-reading255230682_4b9f6c66af" height="300" width="214"></center></><br/></p>
<p>On one of my most recent posts on my Moomettesgram&#8217;s Musings <span class="zem_slink">WAHM</span> blog I mentioned I&#8217;m participating in a new publishing concept called<em> &#8220;Cross Blog Conversation.&#8221;</em> I divulged that I am a frustrated <span class="zem_slink">librarian</span> at heart, and as a child spent a significant amount of time reading.</p>
<p>I passed along my life-long passion for books to both of my daughters, and hopefully my granddaughter, &#8216;Lil Moomette will follow in our footsteps.</p>
<p>As one of those people who can spend hours perusing the stacks of a library, or idling the hours away at <span class="zem_slink">second-hand</span> bookstores while day-tripping or on vacation, it seems I&#8217;m always on the lookout for the perfect book.</p>
<p>I believe I&#8217;ve found some!&nbsp; All grand moms like to give gifts to their grandchildren, and I am no exception.&nbsp; When I was asked to review several books from the author <a href="http://www.candlewick.com/lesliepatricelli" target="_blank"rel="nofollow"><span class="zem_slink">Leslie Patricelli</span> <em>(<span class="zem_slink">Candlewick Press</span>)</em></a>, I jumped at the chance.</p>
<p>Leslie manages to capture the fun and silliness of being a child through bright and engaging artwork, yet at the same time, encouraging the development of simple concepts.</p>
<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-472 alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="babyhappybabysad51cdjcsbval_sl500_aa240_" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/babyhappybabysad51cdjcsbval_sl500_aa240_-150x150.jpg" alt="Baby Happy Baby Sad" height="150" width="150"></p>
<p>The first book is<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0763632457?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=moomesmusin01-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0763632457" target="_blank"> Baby Happy Baby Sad</a>.&nbsp; This book is small yet sturdy enough that &#8216;Lil Moomette, who&#8217;s 2-1/2 could flip through the pages all by herself.&nbsp; What I liked about it was that if something spills on it, the lamination allows it to be wiped off quickly. Each page is unique in that it provides situations that the child would be able to identify with:&nbsp; Petting a puppy is <strong><em>Happy</em> </strong>while dropping ice cream is <strong><em>Sad</em></strong>.</p>
<p>The next book by Leslie Patricelli, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0763632414?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=moomesmusin01-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0763632414" target="_blank">Higher! Higher!</a> is a little larger for a child to handle.&nbsp; The concept is about a child&#8217;s adventure on a swing&nbsp; ~ examples of the higher one goes, the more you can see: in a swing; in an airplane or into <span class="zem_slink">outer space</span>.<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-489" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="higherhigher51ws2ubcbkl_sl500_aa240_1" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/higherhigher51ws2ubcbkl_sl500_aa240_1-150x150.jpg" alt="higherhigher51ws2ubcbkl_sl500_aa240_1" height="150" width="150"></p>
<p>Leslie has received accolades&nbsp; from <span class="zem_slink">magazines</span> such as Scholastic Parent and Child and <span class="zem_slink">School Library Journal</span>.</p>
<p>I recommend adding these titles to your book list when looking for the perfect birthday present for little ones or addition for story hour whether you&#8217;re a daycare provider or homeschooling mom.</p>
<p>Recommended for ages 1-5</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tips for the Easter Bunny</p>
<p><center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/easter2.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7601" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Easter Bunnies" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/easter2-300x71.gif" alt="Easter Bunnies" width="300" height="71" /></a></center><br/></p>
<p>Easter is just around the corner, and the Easter Bunny is busy gathering ideas for gifts to leave in those Easter Baskets.</p>
<p>Here’s a few gems that are sure to educate and entertain the kids.  Whether you’re a parent, or a grandparent, books, childrens music CDs and movie DVDs are always nice to tuck away for those April Shower rainy days!</p>
<p><strong><br />
<h1>Jamie and The Angel:  Meeting Her Guardian Angel</strong></h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>First up is a body, mind and spirit childrens book by Carol Guy, <strong><em>“Jamie and The Angel:  Meeting Her Guardian Angel&#8221;</em></strong> (Marvelous Spirit Press).</p>
<p><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JamieAngelbook1.JPG"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7607" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="Jamie and the Angels Childrens Book" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JamieAngelbook1.JPG" alt="Jamie and the Angels Childrens Book" width="160" height="200" /></a>Beautifully illustrated by Richa Kinra, Jamie and the Angel is about children who are gifted in the psychic area.  I’ve <a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/sixth-sense-intuition-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/" target="_blank">written here before </a>that I, myself profess to have some sort of psychic ability, or <em>Sixth Sense</em>, if you prefer.  Although my <em>“gift”</em> didn’t develop until I was older, children are capable of such  intuitive insights also.</p>
<p>Written in an easy to understand prose, Guy tells the story of Jamie, an 8-year old girl who doesn’t understand why she feels different from her peers, until an Angel appears to help her by providing guidance.  Appended at the end is a reference guide for parents.</p>
