Book Review: God’s Gift
God’s Gift by Lee Ann Mancini – 5 stars
Christian is a little turtle who is excited to get presents at Christmas, but the starfish Jacob says that he gets more presents at Hannukah because he is Jewish. The boys start to fight about who gets more presents, until their parents teach them the true meaning of Christmas and Hannukah combined.
I thought this was a sweet little book about not being greedy during the holidays, and celebrating God’s love together. It’s well-written, with a coherent plot and interesting details. Each character is distinct and lovable.
The illustrations are colorful and beautiful, and there are hidden symbols on every page for readers to hunt and find! This would be perfect to read aloud to children! g

MKs in Cambodia
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
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 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.

MKs in Japan
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!
