Children’s Book Set Giveaway!

I have a set of fun children’s books to give away courtesy of Hachette Books.  Two people will win a copy of each book by popular children’s author Robie H Harris.  You can read my reviews below and go to my contest page to enter!

Mail Harry To the Moon

Nobody told this older brother that having a new little brother would mean big changes, and he’s FED UP! It’s time to mail Harry to the moon so life can go back to the way it was before Harry: No more spit-up! No more grabbing! No more wailing in the night! But along the way, baby Harry might just help our hero see that being a big brother means more than just a big nuisance-it means adventure and friendship, too.

Mail Harry to the Moon is a cute and colorful book for children ages three and up.   The writing is engaging and the illustrations, simple and fun,  go well with the story.  This is a book that will especially appeal to little boys, and one that has an important message for the children who are jelous about having a new member of the family. 

The Day Leo Said I Hate You

In a reassuring manner, Robie H. Harris and Molly Bang portray what happens when a little boy feels SO frustrated and SO mad at a parent who has said NO all day long. In this family book about what it feels like to say–and hear–those other three words, Harris and Bang delicately navigate the most profound bonds between a parent and a child.

Leo is so tired of Mommy’s NOs that he retreats to his room just to be in a no NO zone. He quickly finds that there’s no such thing when Mommy walks in and tosses yet another NO Leo’s way. This is when Leo decides to throw his own verbal weapon at Mommy.   I would recommend this one for older children ages 4-8 who would understand the reasons that Leo is saying “I hate you”  That being said, it would be reassuring for them to read about a child who has the same emotions that they do and learn how to express their anger and frustrations in a healthy way.  This book should be read with much discussion and would hopefully make both mom and child learn from each other.
