The Legend of the Christmas Cookies



What a great book to get you in the mood for Christmas.  The Legend of the Christmas Cookies is just that book.

Christmas is a time of give and a time to think of others before yourself.  That is what this books talks about.  Jack comes home one day to find his home smelling of fresh baked cookies.  Something that was not an often smell in his home.  Jack's father was away for work and send what little money he had home.  His mom put what little money that had into a cookie jar, which never held many cookies.

Jack comes to find out that the cookies where not his but for a needy church function.  Jacks couldn't believe is mom would make cookies for a people at a needy church when he himself felt needy.  But the lesson that Jack is about to learn is one that we need to be reminded of each year.

I love this book and one that will be add to a library full of Christmas stories. Already plan on buying this book as Christmas gifts.

Book was giving to me from the Thomas Nelson Booklook blogger program.  This book was giving to me free of charge for an honest review.  The review is my opinion and my alone.

Harvest Festival

How can you not love the Berenstain Bears?  I grew up on them and I am so grateful that Jan and Stan son Mike is carrying on there legacy.

Harvest Festival is a great book, it talks about my favorite time of year. Autumn.  Also talks about how service and teaching kids about the beauty of a good harvest.  Bear find out that Farmer Ben is have a harvest festival and they they can eat all the good things that the fall crops brings.

I also love how they have taken the Bear to more a Gospel theme. They have all ways been great books to read and I love how may kids love to read them over and over.  The Harvest Festival is just one to add the an already great collection.

This book was given to me by the Thomas Nelson Book Blooger, this review is mine and mine alone.
