Book Review: "I'm going to give you a Bear Hug"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
Book Description:
I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug!, written by bestselling author Caroline B. Cooney, is a playful and comforting bedtime book that imagines all the wonderful ways a child might give and receive a hug.
Whether it’s a big bear, gasp for air, knock over a chair hug or a wet and drippy, slimy, slippy fish hug, children will giggle their way through all the imaginative examples. Cooney’s sweet and simple rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.
My Review:
Oh my goodness this book made me giggle, smile, hug my kids in silly and goofy ways!   Each page had a different animal on it that gave a hug in a different descriptive way.  It was very original with the ideas on each page and the author also used cute rhyming.   If you need to add a book to your bedtime routine... or any time routine then this is the one to get.   This would make a great book for new parents, Christmas, or Birthday presents!  Now figure out who to gift this book to and get your best hug ready!   

Thank you Zondervan for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
