Title: Sea Slime

Subtitle: It's Eeuwy, Gooey and Under the Sea

Author: Ellen Prager

Narrator: Donna German

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-15

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Snails and sea slugs use sea slime. But did you know that coral and clownfish need slime, too? Marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce us to fascinating and bizarre animals that use slime to capture their food, protect themselves from harm, or even move from place to place in their underwater environment.

Great Children Learning Topic: Beautifully Shown Undersea Creatures Use Slime Coatings For Survival

If you've ever caught a fish, you've felt the thin slippery slime coating on it's outermost surfaces. It's on lobsters, coral, starfish, clam shells, and nearly everything in the ocean. Jelly fish feel like slime. Some slime-like material proves deadly to predators when secreted by some undersea life. The parrot fish weaves fibrous slime around itself so it can sleep protected from predators. Nemo-like clown fish hide from predators and swim between the stingers of anemone tentacles. They do so protected by an outer thin coating of clear slime. The hagfish drowns it's prey, coating their mouths and gills with fibrous slime. The hagfish and vampire squid survived millions of years, since slime gives them an advantage against other sea life.

This book succeeds where others have failed, trying to show undersea slime-like substances. It masterfully uses exceptional real-looking color pencil illustrations to show what undersea creatures really look like doing everyday things. It shows some using slime-like substances to defend themselves and showing other roles for slime. It even provides us with rare views of some very deep sea life that's rarely seen by humans, and doing so more accurately than other picture books on this topic. Doing some research of my own, I found these illustrations to be amazingly life-like and true to the look and actions of the creatures. The true-like beautiful colors snap off the pages.

Ellen Prager's writing provides scientific facts that are just enough for young readers. They're presented in easy to understand words that should easily be enjoyed by children 2-10. Her repetitious use of "slime" at the end of each text page works well to get younger readers expecting the word to end the paragraph, creating excitement and anticipation. The book takes a pretty difficult science topic and presents it in ways that will be enjoyed by all.

I was about to list some of the do-not-miss pages of specific sea life shown, but it's too difficult to identify just a few. Every page is worth viewing and exploring.

Teachers and parents will be very pleased with the "Creative Minds" section in the back of the book. It's loaded with quizzes and additional facts about slime, the sea life in this book, and more. I also need to mention that this is an Arbordale book (formerly Sylvan Dell), so you can even access a great deal of educational lesson pages, coloring pages, and much more on the publisher's Website.

RECOMMEND: STRONG BUY

VALUE FOR THE MONEY: HIGH

The boys loved it

I babysit two little boys and ordered this to go with a lesson plan. We paired this book with the letter S and made borax slime. They both enjoyed the book and I liked that it was educational.

Title: Shark Baby

Author: Ann Downer

Narrator: Rachel Hilchey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-15

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

"Who am I?" wonders Shark Baby. When his "mermaid's purse" egg case is torn loose in a storm, he finds himself on a journey through different ocean habitats: kelp forests, coral reefs, and seagrass meadows. He learns what kind of shark he isn't but not what kind he is. He needs to find the "mermaid" to learn where he belongs, but the ocean is big and full of dangers. Will he find out who he is - and what he can do - in time?

Members Reviews:

Good book and a great seller

This is a very cute book and as sellers are amazing people.

Satisfying on many levels

An engaging blend of youthful emotion, suspense, and marine biology, as the baby shark seeks his own identity and discovers a big world in the process.

'Shark Baby' by Ann Downer, illustrated by Shennen Bersani

Shark Baby is growing within the safe confines of his egg case (mermaid's purse). He is growing larger so it is no longer possible to turn around and look at his markings to decide 'what kind of shark' he is!

As a storm breaks and causes turbulence on the ocean floor, his egg case breaks free from the kelp it was tethered to and it is swept along through the ocean landscapes on an adventurous journey.

Shark Baby is able to see through a slit in the battered egg case, from which he can witness the other amazing creatures of the ocean and ask their advice about his origins.

As with all good stories, there is a well timed answer for him (and us) at the end.

This book is suited as an introduction to sharks for younger readers and those who love to absorb facts in smaller doses. The text is large and clear, and the illustrations are realistic and accurate, yet with enough added character to empathise with the different species within the story. The creatures of the ocean are introduced as Baby Shark meets them, and they are illustrated beautifully.

Shennen Bersani's underwater world glows with colour and it is a treat to return to after the story has been read, just to spot all the other sea creatures within the pictures.

It is so nice to see shark facts dealt with in a picture-book format, with a story as told from a baby shark's view of the world, rather than page after page of factual details. This makes the subject matter easier to approach for those new to non-fiction books, and opens up further study to those who wish to know more.

To enhance the story, at the end of this book are educational pages of shark facts and `True or False' questions (and answers). There is also mention of the considerable research undertaken in order to be accurate with the factual details and illustrations within this beautiful book.

For educators wishing to use this book with their students ...there are teaching activities related to this title on the Sylvan Dell Publishing website:

[...]

This is a delightfully fun book of how Shark Baby finds out just who he is ...

Way beneath the ocean waves the seahorses, little crab, and a fish were nearby the Shark Baby who nestled in his egg case.

Members Reviews:

Picture book for small children

This is a nice picture book about clouds for a child under 4. There is more information about clouds in the description of the book than in the book itself.

Check out those clouds overhead.

Here's a simple picture book that introduces a young child to different cloud formations. This would be a good way to begin a study of weather for any youngster in the early grades who might be showing an interest in weather patterns. Full page color photos, a simple text and pages of learning activities will engage the child and start him/her off on a study of cloud formations and how clods can be used to predict weather changes.

School librarians, teachers and home schooling parents will want to check this inexpensive guide out.

Title: The Magic Potions Shop: The Young Apprentice

Subtitle: Magic Potions Shop: Book 1

Author: Abie Longstaff

Narrator: Daniel Coonan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-05-15

Publisher: Nudged Audio

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

In the Kingdom of Arthwen, there was a very unusual shop. It wasn't on the high street; it was deep in the forest. It wasn't in a building; it was inside a tree. It didn't sell food or clothes or toys; this shop sold potions.

Tibben wants to be the Potions Master one day, just like Grandpa, but for now he is an Apprentice, and there is lots to learn!

From the creator of the best-selling Fairytale Hairdresser series, Abie Longstaff, this story is perfect for engaging younger children.

Members Reviews:

Cute read!

This is another awesome book from an ace writer & illustrator team. It's their first chapter book, which made it intriguing. Although sadly this means the illustrations aren't colourful like The Fairytale Hairdresser series, they are still highly detailed, clever and funny (check out the cat shaped potion bottle). Despite Tibben being a boy (I much prefer female protagonists) I got rather fond of him, especially as he struggled to make a potion correctly.

There are plenty of surprises for the reader, my favourite being the nature of the beats who Tibben goes off to investigate. That had me smiling for the rest of the book, as I pondered on my expectation of the beast and what it actually was. I'm so glad it will be in future books! Tibben's master reminded me a little like Yoda from Star Wars, and it made me realise that he must be rather old to have so many crystals on his cloak. I cheered Tibben on as he faced all his obstacles!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/the-magic-potions-shop-young-apprentice.html

Publisher's Summary:

Grandma Witch: Adventure Four is the fourth book in the Adventures of Alex and Katie series. In each of the books, Alex and Katie enter a different Russian fairy tale and change the ending by their actions. In Grandma Witch: Adventure Four, they embark on a journey to rescue a little girl from the three-headed dragon. But they soon find out that the problems they're about to face are much more serious than they could have anticipated. Baba Yaga, the Russian witch, immersed the whole forest into total darkness by capturing the Guardian of Light and his horse. It's up to Alex and Katie to find the Guardian of Light and bring sunlight back into the forest. They have to be brave and clever as they cross dangerous rivers, find the hut on chicken legs, make potions, and learn what it means to be smart and kind.

Enchanting story and a brilliant vocal performance

What a brilliant and original concept. Talented author Julia Gousseva has taken traditional Russian fairy tales and turned them into exciting modern-day fantasies. Weve all fantasized about a portal to another world. Here it is. At the back of the fireplace in strange Aunt Karina's magical library, a secret door takes visitors through a portal to a magical world. In adventure four of the Alex and Katie series, the children enter the portal through a picture frame where they embark on an exciting adventure in a dark forest where they encounter a three-headed dragon and the infamous witch, Baba Yaga. But the thing that makes these stories unique and brings out the talent and creativity of author Julia Gousseva is that each of these stories has a different ending. This makes the stories seem real. The ending is up to Alex and Katie. Will they succeed? Will they save the little girl? Will they bring light back into the dark forest? If they are successful, they still have to make it back to the picture frame and cross back into Aunt Karinas magical library. Hmmm. There is plenty of excitement here.

So what could make this enchanting story even better? A reading by narrator Rebecca Lea McCarthy. But McCarthy does much more than a reading. McCarthy moves seamlessly from character to character, creating a true vocal acting performance. Its so much fun and easy to visualize the story when listening to McCarthys fine performance.

Just plain fun. Highly recommended for adults and children of all ages.

Russian Witch is cool

I've read some Russian stories before and have always been intrigued by the Baba Yaga, Russian witch, character. This story makes Baba Yaga much less scary than the original Russian fairy-tales. I love the fact that she has a granddaughter who is a witch in training. Very cute! Wonderful narration, with different voices and voice effects for different characters.
