These MKs in Cambodia just received a package of books, and they have huge smiles on their faces!  They obviously love reading!

“We were all absolutely thrilled!  Since they arrived a few days ago our son has been asking to read books first thing after breakfast (instead of asking for cartoons). Love it!  And our daughter adores all things science so she’s been fascinated by the book about the Human Body. ” -Missionaries in Cambodia

Picture Book Reviews: Super Fish

Super Fish
Super Fish by Mary Lee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cute little story told by a turtle who claims to have met the famous Super Fish, with her purple cape and her super-strength and super-hearing. She helps sea creatures in trouble, and the turtle tells the story of how Super Fish saved him.

The illustrations are cute! The story is funny and snappy! This would be a good book to read aloud to children and make funny voices for the characters.

Super Fish 2: The Stare Wars Super Fish 2: The Stare Wars by Mary Lee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Super Fish has a purple cape, super-strength, and super-hearing, but does she have super-staring abilities? When the octopus gets into a staring contest with Super Fish, nothing in all the oceans will distract either opponent from their unblinking competition, until Super Fish pulls out her secret weapon!

The illustrations are so cute! Super Fish is an adorable and strong super-hero, and the story is hilarious and snappy! This would be a good book to read aloud to children and make funny voices for all the characters.

These MKs in Japan are thrilled with their package of free books! They enjoy reading together as a family, and even loved the bookmarks that came with the package too.

There’s nothing quite like opening up a package from your home country when you are far away across the globe.  And receiving books to read is even better!

This missionary family loves to read together, and having books in English is important for the MKs education!

The Awkward Owl
The Awkward Owl by Shawnda Blake

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adorable children’s book with lovely pictures, about an awkward owl who doesn’t have the confidence to fly well until a little girl shows some love and believes in him! I love the cute artwork and the sweet little story about believing in yourself. It’s really funny too, because the owl goes crashing into things sometimes!

These MKs in Colombia just received a package of books, and they love to read! This young man got some books about drawing, and now he’s drawing all the time. He’ll probably grow up to be an artist!

They got some wonderful books, and enjoy reading them together as a family!

 

Nothing brings a family together like reading, especially on the mission field!  You can donate to Books for MKs so that more books can be sent to missionary families.
