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.

Picture Book, Dee and Deb Off They Go, Kindergarten First Day Jitters

Earns Story Monster Approval

 CHANDLER, AZ (March, 2016) – The judges of the Story Monster Approved program, which recognizes accomplished authors in the field of children's literature have spoken, and Dee and Deb Off They Go, Kindergarten First Day Jitters by Donna M. McDine has earned approval.

Title: Dee and Deb Off They Go, Kindergarten First Day Jitters

Author: Donna M. McDine

Illustrator: Jack Foster

Publisher: Guardian Angel Publishing, Inc.

Softcover ISBN: 9781616336998

eBook ISBN: 9781616337001

About Dee and Deb Off They Go, Kindergarten First Day Jitters: The anxiety of finding one's own place and friends in kindergarten without the comfort of having her fraternal twin sister nearby at first overwhelms Dee. Until she realizes even without her twin, Dee and her classmates for the most part are in the same boat. Suggested age range for readers: 3-8

About the Author: Donna McDine is a multiple award-winning children's author. She writes and moms from her home in the historical hamlet Tappan, NY. McDine is a member of the SCBWI and Family Reading Partnership. Learn more about McDine’s writing career at www.donnamcdine.com and www.donna-mcdine.blogspot.com.

The colorful, kid-friendly Story Monster Approved seal attracts the attention of young readers much more than a sticker intended for adult scrutiny. Kids know when they see the Story Monster Approved patch it means children their own age enjoyed the book and are recommending they read it, too. How do they know that? Because after books pass the first round of rigorous judging – which is done by industry experts, the books are then judged by a panel of youth judges who must also endorse the books before they can receive the official seal of approval.

            "Who better to judge children’s books than the children who read them?” explains Linda F. Radke, president of Five Star Publications, Inc., the same company that launched the Dragonfly Book Awards program, now in its fourth year. "Judging these books gives children a wonderful sense of importance and responsibility. Some of our judging coordinators have told us that students who usually don’t enjoy reading or have difficulty reading have gotten a much-needed boost due to their judging responsibilities and have requested to serve as judges again."

            For more information on how to get a book Story Monster Approved, visit www.StoryMonsters.com. To learn more about Five Star Publications, Inc., which is celebrating 30 years in producing award-winning books, visit www.FiveStarPublications.com, email fivestarpublications@gmail.com or call 480-940-8182.

Artist Agreement Signed for Dee and Deb, Off They Go - Kindergarten First Day Jitters

Lovely note from illustrator, Jack Foster! 

Thanks Jack! 

It's an honor to have you illustrate my latest book!

Illustrator, Jack Foster and I had the lovely opportunity to meet in-person at the Guardian Angel Publishing gathering in St. Louis the fall of 2010. I can hardly believe so much time has gone by!

When the opportunity came along with my fifth children's book and it was time to submit my illustrator choices to GAP, Jack Foster was my number one choice. His illustrating style is quite unique. Going away from my four early reader picture books, to a picture book for kindergarten and below I knew immediately Jack was the illustrator I wanted. Lucky for me, Jack accepted the assignment. Thanks a bunch, Jack!

I can hardly wait to see this story come to life! It's a tribute to my lovely fraternal twin sister and our first day of kindergarten when we were separated for the first time.

Enjoy some of Jack's illustrations at... http://jacktoon.blogspot.com/

Thanks for visiting!

Children's Picture Book Review: Maggie Mae, Detective Extraordinaire: The Case of the Missing Cookies

The sweet smell of super-duper snicker doodles wafts through the air as Grandma prepares for the bake sale. Singing away as she wraps each dozen into plastic bags, she is astonished that bags are missing. Calling on her granddaughter, Maggie Mae, to help solve the mystery of the missing cookies, Maggie Mae puts her detective skills to the test. Interviewing each member of the household, grandfather, brother and even Toby the dog she attempts to catch the culprit and to unearth what the whistle noise before a bag of snicker doodles goes missing has to do with it.

Join YA and Kids' author, Margo Dill as she creates a mystery of intrigue that will have the reader jumping to their own conclusions in hopes of solving the mystery before Maggie Mae, Detective Extraordinaire does.  Jack Foster’s trademark illustrations provide sweetness throughout.

Children's Book Review - There's A Lion in the House by Mary Esparza-Vela

Mary Esparza-Vela’s children’s book entitled, There’s A Lion in the House along with Jack Foster’s hysterical illustrated cover immediately made my mind race as to what the author had in store for her readers.  Hooked from the onset I immediately opened the book.

The youngest of four rabbit brothers, Robby, was the silliest of the bunch. Always the jokester, Robby thrived on teasing his siblings every chance he got with good old-fashioned pranks. Will the mention of the lion that almost ate their Grandpa in the woods one day make his imagination run wild or did the lion actually find it’s way into their home one evening. What is Robby to do when he hears loud roars during the night from within their house and when he tries to tell his brother’s each of them ignores him? Will Robby be brave and search where the noise is coming from or will he hide under his blankets?

Mary Esparza-Vela’s There’s A Lion in the House is a delightful tale of sibling antics that will have the reader laughing out loud throughout the story. Ms. Esparza-Vela’s expert storytelling will make There’s A Lion in the House a cherished book for years to come and I’m sure will be worn around the edges from the constant reading.

Jack Foster’s brilliant and hilarious illustrations enhance Ms. Esparza-Vela’s story to the highest level of enjoyment for both children and parents.
