My new 'favorite' show is Downton Abbey. I've met someone who has the same obsession and hosted a tea party using the show as her theme. I love it!

The illustrations in "Ava's Secret Tea Party" are so precious and filled with lovely details. Every page has hidden items, too. Did you notice the extra little character on the front cover? You have to look VERY closely to see her!

Rise of the Guardians vs. Ava's Secret Tea Party
vs.
I cannot wait to see "The Rise of the Guardians." It's interesting that this movie has come out at the same time that "Ava's Secret Tea Party" was released and focuses on the same characters, but in two very different ways. Is "The Rise of the Guardians" too intense for your children? "Ava's Secret Tea Party" has a much gentler setting!
Here's the trailer for the movie. If it's not your 'cup of tea,' perhaps my book will be!

Children’s Ezine Guardian Angel Kids: Fun with Music – August 2012 Issue
Welcome to the August 2012 issue of Guardian Angel Kids Ezine. We call it GAK because that’s the name of our gecko mascot! This month we celebrate the Fun of Music. The GAK staff can’t think of anything more universal than children enjoying music. They learn to respond and participate to music at a very early age.
As a child, Guardian Angel Publishing and Guardian Angel Kids publisher, Lynda S. Burch, loved to sing in the choir, learned the piano, and taught herself to play the organ. She enjoyed playing in the high school band from 7th grade through senior year of high school. She played the clarinet, soprano clarinet, and alto clarinet. Ms. Burch also sang in the school chorus and smaller groups and competed around the state just like Glee.
As an adult Ms. Burch always made up songs and sang them to kids. One day she decided to write and record them instead of just singing them. These songs turned into over a hundred musical children’s books to be played on computers. Ms. Burch’s extended family from around the globe break into song about the weather, fun noodles in the swimming pool, or even a new alphabet song. What fun she has had with these musical books!
We hope you develop a love for music as much as Ms. Burch and the GAK staff have.
Letter from the PUBLISHER: Lynda S. Burch
SPECIAL FEATURE: God Will Take Care of You Music Video – sung by a two year old and his family, the Buctots.
