Book Review: The Dragon and The Turtle "Go on Safari" Contest linked

After the opportunity to review the first "The Dragon and The Turtle" book, my 2 oldest boys asked if there were anymore Dragon and Turtle books? I told them I wasn't sure if there would be anymore yet. Then I found out about "The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari" by Donita K. Paul and Evangeline Denmark from Blogging for Books review program.

My kids were eager to read the newest book. This is lovely because it's usually like pulling teeth to get them interested in a book.  I read it to them before bed last night.  All three (my toddler included) huddled around me to see the beautiful illustrations and the fun story.  The Dragon and The Turtle books are centered around being  a good friend.  There are also a couple other morales and lessons tucked away in the book.   They even offer questions and suggestions to interact with your child about the book once they heard the story.

The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari is a great story about how far your imagination can take you.  It also has those great little moments in there about being a true friend.

I think The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari would also make a great classroom book that could have a couple of project ideas centered around it.  This could also be a fun book to get your child's imagination going.

Free Books for Bloggers

I became a member of booksneeze.com.  I had received my first book and reviewed it.  If you read my blog you know that I'm always looking for a way to get something for free or at a bargain price.  I don't mind if I have to work for it a little bit. I started wondering, are there any other programs like booksneeze.com out there?  Completing some searches I found a few.  I'll share them with you, because, well, that's what my blog is about.  Letting you know about Good Freebies, Fun sites to visit, Sweepstakes I find, review of products that fit a budget and whatever else might save you money.

Harper Collins First Look Program (temporarily not available)
You don't have to be a blogger to be involved in this one.  I did this one for a while and received many very good mainstream books from them.  You can choose your genres that you're interested in.  I reviewed books like:  Football Hero by Tom Green (very good even if you're not into football, i think I cried once or twice), Ever by Gail Carson Levine, Seeker #1: The Quest Begins by Erin Hunter and many others.  The message on the First look page says they are on Hiatus while they "create and even better book program"


As I find more I'll list them.  I'm also looking for main stream publishing companies that have blogger book review programs that aren't necessarily christian books.
