![]() ![]() To stir a sense of wonder and magic about the world that every child has. ![]() Of course these books have a place, and many of them have a place on our own children’s book shelf, but I am always looking for that story that was told for fun. Most are tasked with a hidden (or not so hidden) moralistic message that they gently bash you on the head with. I don’t say that lightly as most children’s books these days are not simple fantasy stories written just for fun. So we huddled up in a corner and I read this enchanting little story that not only engaged my daughter and my groggy one year old, but really entertained me as well. My daughter was absolutely enchanted and immediately drawn to a very new release called “ Dragon Stones” by Carolyn Watson Dubisch. It was quite a remarkable store, mostly because all the books were new and different from the books we usually find in the children’s section of other stores. We scour the library shelves, the quarter sales, and buy books new and old, so when a new children’s bookstore called Young Bookworms opened in our town sporting all books by self-published authors, we were there. Since I became a mother a few years ago, most of my “free time” is plunging into the depths of the children’s book market, especially board books, but honestly, any book that will hold their attention for several minutes. As a working mom of two small children I have a busy schedule and not nearly enough time for, well, everything. ![]() It’s not often that I sit down and write a book review. ![]()
