My niece loves reading. She also seems to love horses lately. I was excited to have the chance to read and review Horse Gentler in Training because I thought this book was something that she might like.

This is a good book for ages eight through ten or so, and some younger children might like to have it read to them.

This story of this book is cute and the characters are realistic.

The length of this book and its chapters seems good for young readers.

I like that there are some pictures mixed into the book.

What I didn’t like:

There is not really anything in the book that I didn't like.

My conclusion:

Overall, I think my niece will love this book.

I give Horse Gentler in Training 5 out of 5 stars.

Praying the Promises shares topics from the Bible, promises that God has made, and it helps us see how those topics affect our lives.

The way that this book is written makes it interesting and easy to read.

Cute but Not Written Well - My Review of Nighty Night and Good Night

Published by: ZonderKidz

Written by: Michael W. Smith and Mike Nawrocki

Illustrated by: Tod Carter
Painted by: Chuck Vollmer

Most of us know who Michael W. Smith is. I thought it would be fun to read a book from him. I chose to read and review Nighty Night and Good Night simply because he wrote it.

The illustrations:

The pictures in this book are pretty fun and cute.

Who This Book is For:

This book seems to be made for babies and toddlers.

What I liked:

I like the overall look and feel of this book. The cover is cute, the color unique.

I like the pictures in the book - they are fairly cute.

What I didn’t like:

I showed this book to my sister and she right away said how it didn't flow well. I think she said that it was the poorest written children's book she had seen. I have to agree with her quite a bit. This is like anything anyone would make up as they are laying beside their child at night - it's not really written well.

My conclusion:

Overall, I think that this book could have used some work before getting published.

I give Nighty Night and Good Night 3 out of 5 stars.
