Ten Zany Birds Book Review

Ten Zany Birds Cover

My children love books, my 7 year old loves to read to her 4 year old brother. This book they both loved! My daughter loved the colorful Illustrations of the different types of birds, and my son loved the rhyming text and counting/subtracting the birds on each page. They both were excited to see what birds were left on the next page, and what will happen! I know they will want to read this over and over again. This is a very good book in my opinion for pre-readers and early readers.

 

About the book:
Ten Zany Birds have a party in a tree, singing and dancing. Five have stripes, three have spots, and one has purple polka dots. They’re all having fun, but one by one, they become distracted.

One is frightened by a loud plane. One gets hungry. One wants to race and another needs a bath. Only one stays to sing in the tree, but who will it be?

Ten Zany Birds is a fun, beautifully illustrated picture book. As parents and teachers read, children are introduced to counting and basic subtraction skills. Whenever a bird leaves, the number of striped, spotted, and polka-dotted birds changes, teaching the application of simple classification rules.

Whimsical and entertaining, Sherry Ellis’s tale of ten silly, distractible little birds is an excellent choice for both pre-reader storybook time and early readers.

Amazing Grass Green Superfood Review

IMG_1094

 

I recently tried Amazing Grass Green Superfood. I received a sample of all of the flavors, which come in powdered form, and are all vegan and gluten free. It is suggested to mix with 8 ounces of water, juice or your favorite smoothie. They are a whole food supplement, so it’s a great way to get in your greens when you’re not in the mood for a plate of spinach. There is even a chocolate flavor that I can’t wait to try!

The flavors I tried were Orange Dreamsicle, Pineapple Lemongrass, and Acai Berry. I tried the Pineapple Lemongrass first, just mixed with water. The taste was pretty good, even my two year old drank some. It was a little bitter for my taste, but it was still tasty. I mixed the Orange Dreamsicle with orange juice, and that was better tasting. The Pineapple Lemongrass is a multivitamin so I could definitely mix that one with my orange juice in the mornings. I decided to put the Acai Berry in a fruit smoothie, and that was my favorite. I definitely think mixing them with a flavored drink was better for me. It was a bit strong with just water for my liking, however, it was still drinkable. I think the chocolate one will go perfect with my chocolate protein shake after a workout!

I would definitely buy this product again. It gave me energy, and I didn’t feel like I need caffeine to get me going. I decided to check out other products on their website. I have already placed an order. I would recommend Amazing Grass to a friend. It’s great for people who are into health and fitness. It’s also great for people wanting to eat healthier, because you can sneak in all of your super foods without having to feel like you’re grazing on spinach and kale all day long.
