This giveaway has now ended. Congratulations, Catherine and Katherine Ryan! Pace: The 12-Minute Fitness Revolution by Al Sears, M.D. is a revolutionary approach to fitness where you can become and stay fit in twelve minutes a day.

Living near Boston, I thought it would be good to learn a little more about Paul Revere, and Joel J. Miller’s The Revolutionary Paul Revere did not disappoint. The book is well-researched, and while the writing style is somewhat dry it is easy to read and paints a clear [...]
Johnny was a huge fan of Nancy Tafuri’s Five Little Chicks. He liked the idea of the chicks learning what food was good for them to eat, but mostly he was a fan of the illustrations, counting the chicks and deciding which one was the “Johnny chick” on each page. I found the [...] Rosie’s Ballet Slippers was Emma’s pick when friend of mine ran an impromptu storytime during a library meet-up. She pulled it off the shelf and loved the story so much that we brought it home. The story is cute, but the illustrations are what I find most appealing about this book. They are beautifully rendered [...] This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Andrea, Amanda C, and Marjorie! April is Autism Awareness Month, the perfect time to read The Autism Book by Dr. Robert W. Sears. A more informative title for the book might be An Encyclopedia of Autism.

The fold-out pages make for neat scenes, but have to be folded carefully back into the book. I really like the part at the back of the book that describes parts of the various machines and how [...] This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Debbie! I was reading posts on The Product Review Place one day when I saw a notice requesting reviewers of a new book intended to help young children look forward to bedtime. You only have to look at my goal posts from last year to know that bedtime at our [...] This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Elisa! I enjoyed reading Your Family Constitution: A Modern Approach to Family Values and Household Structure. Scott Gale’s writing is down-to-earth and frequently humorous. I think any family can benefit from making time to work together to identify the central values that are the most important to them, and to [...] This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Mandie, Catherine, Gaileee, Quadmama, and Patricia! The title of Ben Sherwood’s book caught my eye: The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life. The book reads almost like a travel journal, as Sherwood journeys to interview some of the world’s most famous survivors and participates in [...] This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Keeling! Written by Jeanne McNaney and illustrated by David Cochard, Miracle in Sumatra: The Story of Gutsy Gus is one of the most original picture books that I’ve read.
