Storyteller’s Hollywood-Illustrated Dictionary

by: Mrs Wordsmith

On January 28, the Storyteller’s Hollywood-Illustrated Dictionary was released in the US. The book is currently #1 on Amazon UK. Parents love this book for a few reasons.

You get a 50% improvement in vocabulary proven by the National Literacy Trust. The book contains 4000 key storytelling words and hundreds of illustrations. In fact, the illustrations are from Craig Kellman, the Hollywood artist behind Madagascar and Hotel Transylvania’s unforgettable characters, come hundreds of hilarious illustrations.

Once you purchase the Storytellers Illustrated Dictionary, look for a daily text message from their Word of the Day service. This book encourages independent readers as it boosts reading confidence.

I love how organized it is with words cleverly fitting into 6 categories – Action, Character, Emotion, Setting, Taste & Smell and Weather. Each section ends with illustrated noun sets. If they need help finding a related word, it is in the book on these topics.

2 Books That Teach Children the Importance of Sleep

December 12, 2018December 9, 2018 Erin Sluka

**2018 Parenting Healthy Gift Guide Feature: Books about Importance of Sleep**

The topic of sleep with kids is not discussed often enough. Anthony is going on 11 years old and I find that I get the best response from him when I don’t use a ‘because I said so’ tone and instead educate and really explain my reasonings. Sleep is as important as diet and exercise so a child needs to just feel for themselves how much better they are after healthy sleep.

In the book, Devin & Evan Play Fortnite ‘Til 11, the twins quickly get too attached to their game. It begins to effect their sleep and they are so tired the next day. With some rules and understanding of the importance of sleep, the brothers realize how much better they feel when they have healthy amounts of play time and stop early in the day to get ready for evening.

In the book, Devin & Evan Slep from 8-7, learn why sleep is so important for their physical health, emotional well being, behavior, and success at school.

A copy of the book was sent for feature

The Magical Mindful Day

by: Deborah Slazar Shapiro

It is a story about hope for the future on this Earth that you and your child will enjoy together. In the book, The Magical Mindful Day, brings awareness to the world around us. As the subtitle states, it is a story about Mindfulness, Connection, and Caring for the Earth. My son and I read this together and it is so engaging especially with the illustrations on each page.

To be mindful you have to first understand what it means to be mindful and paying attention to what is going on around us. The book talks about recycling, choosing outdoor play over electronics, the element of breathing and taking in Oxygen and so much more that connects us to all living things.
