Synopsis of children's books:

The Golden Pathway: Be transported through time to the Underground Railroad, where high-pitched screams echo each night. David’s cruel Pa always chooses the same victim. Despite the circumstances during slavery, David uncovers the courage to defy his Pa. Raised in a hostile environment where abuse occurs daily, David attempts to break the mold and befriends the slave, Jenkins, owned by his Pa.

Hockey Agony: Peer Pressure and Honesty many times go hand-in-hand.  What is Larry to do when his teammate asks him to cheat when he is given the responsibility to run the clock during the big hockey game?  Outwardly, it may seem he will follow suit, but his conscious tells him otherwise at the moment of truth. Ages: 8-12 years old

Children's Book Review... Dee and Deb Off They Go Kindergarten First Day Jitters by Donna McDine

Gayle Pace – Amazon reviewer

Those first day jitters can really be overwhelming for those little ones when they start that big "K", kindergarten. Dee starts kindergarten without that secure feeling of having her twin sister near. It's hard to start school in a big, new, strange building with strange people all around you. You don't know anyone, you don't know what to do, you're lost. That's what Dee felt until she noticed that all the other kids were just like her. They didn't know anyone either. The building was strange to them also. They didn't know where anything is. It made it little easier knowing that everyone felt the same and she wasn't alone. Anything new or any changes in a little one's life can be traumatic.It doesn't have to be in a little one's life, it can be in a not so little one' s life, too.

Change is hard, but Dee handled it quite well once she knew she wasn't alone. This is a darling children's book that has wonderful illustrations to go with the story. The story is just long enough that it doesn't get boring. The attention span of little one's is rather short. The coloring of the illustrations is bright and cheerful. A wonderful teaching and learning book for those young inquisitive minds. Grab a copy of this book before your child or grandchild enters #kindergarten or even pre-school. It will help them adjust.
