Review for Ouch! Sunburn!

Ouch! Sunburn!, another wonderfully written book by Donna J. Shepherd, is a fun book about getting sunburned and how to avoid getting burned again. The story not only teaches kids what will happen if they get too much sun, but what to put on their burned itchy skin. The book is written in a simple fun rhyme and at the end of the book there are tips on how to keep from getting sunburned when playing outside.

Kevin Scott Collier did a wonderful job on the illustrations. The artwork is colorful and simply shows how itchy sunburned skin isn’t much fun in the end.

I think this is a great book for not only kids, but parents who have children who hate to wear sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses when playing in the HOT SUMMER SUN. -

Topsy Turvy Links!

I find it amusing how people find this site. Several people have stopped by looking for a Topsy Turvy Cake. For fun, I looked it up, and found there's a cake pan called the Topsy Turvy Cake Pan by Wilton.



I found another book called Topsy Turvy Optical Illusions. Looks like a fun book!



My son and I have been hooked on Nintendo games in the past. Here's a game featuring Yoshi.



Apparently, a lot of you are looking for Topsy Turvy Dolls. I found a site where they can be purchased. Click HERE.

AND for those who don't want to spend that much, I found an HGTV site that has sewing instructions for making your own! Click HERE.

In England, there's Topsy Turvy World, where children can play. Here's a link: Topsy Turvy World. Looks a bit like Chuck E. Cheese here in the States.

QVC has Topsy Turvy Planters.

Good Press for Topsy Turvy Land

Someone (Thank you, writermom!) sent me an email letting me know that Topsy Turvy Land is mentioned in World Magazine. It's an issue highlighting children's books. I'm very flattered to be included!

Here's a link (the cover is in left sidebar):http://www.worldmag.com/articles/12466

Since I don't have a subscription, all I've seen is what's on the website, but even that's exciting! I'm on the same page as Dr. Seuss and Charlotte's Web. Boy, am I intimidated!

A New Review for Topsy Turvy Land

"Imagine a world where snakes chirp, monkeys are green, and goldfish walk on six legs. In Topsy Turvy Land, anything is possible, until you realize that nothing we can imagine is as amazing as the world God created. Kids will love the bold colors and simple yet striking illustrations as well as the silly rhymes about hens that bark and dogs that lay eggs in nests. Each page also has at least one hidden heart, helping to remind young readers that God’s love is everywhere." - Writer and humor columnist Joanne Brokaw
