Joy to the World: Veggie Tales by Pamela Kennedy Book Review

 



Joy to the World is a new adventure featuring the Veggie Tales. They were preparing for a Christmas show. The peas sang a song about the Christmas star. Larry played a Christmas carol on his special made gingerbread guitar. Junior and Bob performed a neat act together of dancing and juggling candy canes. Next, they all performed together the story about the Savior’s birth and how shepherds come to witness this incredible event. At the end, they all sung Joy to the World as a group and told others about how Jesus provides us with true joy. 

 



 

I would recommend this wonderful book to any child aged 2-6. I thought this book contained a lot of imagination and silly characters doing fun things to keep children laughing and engaged. I liked the fun guitar solo and juggling scenes and you can hear this book playing out like a Veggie Tales movie. I loved how in the end they covered the Christmas story and told about the story of Jesus and they all come together to worship the Lord with the song Joy to the World.

Hello from Here Written by Pamela Kennedy Illustrated by Mackenzie Haley Book Review





Hello from Here is a brand-new children’s book about all the fun ways you can say hello. Some of these included, calling you on the phone, explaining what you see while you are walking, sending a letter by mail, drawing you a picture, writing a message up in the sky, putting a note on a dolphin at the sea, putting a flag on the moon, and much more. This book is all about connecting with others from a distance. The book itself is enclosed in a hardboard and it would make it more difficult for children to rip or tear the pages. 



 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to anyone who is looking for a new book that will inspire children to connect with friends and family during the pandemic and even after it. I liked how the book included many ways on connecting and building relationships when not in person. These included writing a letter, making food, sending a dinosaur over to kiss you, blowing giant bubbles, and yelling from a mountain about how much you love them. There is ton of special fun ways that our children could tell someone that they love them and they care for them. The book helps build their imagination. I also enjoyed the illustrations and the small attention to details that kids can look for special objects and connect with their kid.
