You Belong to Me - Illustrated Children's Book (REVIEW)


You Belong to Me


Author: Mamoru Suzuki
Category: Illustrated Children's Book
Suitable for: All ages, ideal for 3-5
My Rating: 5 Stars
Format Read for Review: E-book from author/publisher.
Pages: 32

Description: This book is about love. It depicts many different animals showing love, affection, comfort and protection to a human child. The basic messages the child will take away from this book are: like the title, "you belong to me" and also "I love you," a message shared by all the animals throughout the book.

In Short: I love this book, it is super sweet. The theme is unconditional love. I think this book is a must have for a child of any age who has been adopted and maybe feels abandoned by their birth parents or has any fear of their adoptive parents not fully loving them. Because of how this book stresses these ideas: "I love you" and "you belong to me." This book is also great for younger children (in my opinion ages as young as 2 and old as 6) as a soothing bedtime story.

Pros: I love the art. It is incredibly cute with soft and sweet colors. The book certainly has a soothing feel to it. I think the author achieved their goal of making it a comforting bedtime story. Both parent and child will enjoy the lovely artwork. The words are all simple and easy for very young children to understand. The pages all have positive messages that are perfect for bedtime and sweet dreams. 

Cons: I have no issues with this book.

This book will be released Aug. 1, 2016. Find it on Amazon by clicking here.

I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest review.

One day at a Time: Be confident

 Author:  Matt Bishop, Marni Kayer

My rating: 4 stars
Format Read for Review: Kindle
Pages: 15

Description:  Matt Bishop guides his readers thru step by step instructions on how to build their confidence. He helps the reader identify their strengths and helps them to track their success.

In Short: This book is very helpful to people needing to build their confidence with simple instructions and steps.

Pros: This book has easy steps to follow and great motivational quotes. It’s great for people that need a little boost with their confidence.

Cons: This book may be a little too simplistic for someone who is having a very hard time with their confidence. At 15 pages this book is too short for a paid book. Luckily I picked up the kindle edition on Amazon while it was free.
