Review 20: Pumpkin Bunch
All of the pumpkins in Pumpkins Ville are disappearing and the pumpkin farmers are worried about not being able to support their families because unless they find the pumpkin thieves, they will have no crops for sale. Lilly overhears her father and is determined to do something to help him capture the pumpkin thieves. So, Lilly waits until her family has fallen asleep and then sneaks out of the house and goes down to the pond where the largest pumpkins are to wait for the pumpkin thieves. Her plan is to wait until they show up and then scream for her father to come and catch them.
Review 19: Tilbee Toadlet’s Trip to Town
We first encountered the delightful writing of P.J. Cowan in March with the review of Michael O’Brien and the Magic Hat. I was pleased to be able to request another book from Ms. Cowan and asked for her selection. Tilbee Toadlet’s Trip to Town was the book she sent stating it is one of her personal favorites. I always enjoy a chance to read an author’s favorite work, and I certainly was not disappointed.

Review 18: More Kindergarten Sudoku
Crosswords, acrostics, logic problems, word search, all of these were a big part of my youth. I could spend hours with a puzzle book figuring out the answers and filling them in. Sudoku had not yet come into vogue, or I’m sure I would have spent many a pleasurable hour working on those as well. With More Kindergarten Sudoku: 4×4 Classic Sudoku Puzzles for Kids

Review 13: Michael O’Brien and the Magic Hat
What more fitting way for the Lulu Book Review to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with a review of a book about leprechauns. I was delighted to run across P.J. Cowan’s Michael O’Brien and the Magic Hat. Michael is a young leprechaun who, unlike other leprechaun children, was born without magic. So, when Michael turned seven, the Leprechaun council had a tailor make him a magic green hat that when he wore gave him as much magic as any other leprechaun child. Michael would put the hat on his head the moment he woke up in the morning and take it off only to go to bed at night.

Review 6: Meet Robby the C-130
I can sum up Meet Robby the C-130 in two words: Absolutely Delightful! This children’s book is definitely a home run swing. Meet Robby the C-130 is a book which was created to help military children handle the times when either mommy or daddy is deployed and away from home. With the occupation of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, absentee parents have become a way of life for many military families. Beth Mahoney writes of what she knows well, having grown up as a child of the military, turned military wife of 17 years. She is raising her 3 children while her husband is frequently deployed, along with running a military parenting organization.
Review 5: Will and the Soaring Seed
I first ran across Will and the Soaring Seed while reading some posts on the Lulu Promote Your Book Forum. I was not actually looking for books to review, but doing some research prior to drafting a post promoting the Where in the World is Misfit McCabe? project, which is featured here on the Lulu Book Review under the WITW is MMC tab. As I was reading through the multitude of posts plugging authors’ work, I read a post by author and illustrator Devin Boone and his description captured me enough to click the link to take a look at the children’s book he was promoting. I was glad that I did.
