School is about to start here, but that doesn't mean that the reading has to end.  I know that kids have a good amount of school work, but lucky for us, some of it includes nightly reading.  When I was growing up, my Nana would make me read the newspaper to her, she said it would help with my reading and my vocabulary.  I did it, but I know I would have had more fun reading books that were filled with characters I loved too!!! (She did take me to the library all the time, so no worries, I had fun reading material too!)  Anyways, I wanted to share a few new books from Disney Publishing.  If you don't want to add to your home library, think about buying a couple and donating them to your local school...

I know that Frozen is still a popular theme right now and I have a book that you must get to go under your tree this year!   It is the Frozen Sing Along Storybook!  This is a hardback book that has perfect illustrations of the story and at the end you get a special treat!   You get the lyrics to 3 of the popular frozen songs!  The songs they included?   Let It Go - Do You Want To Build a Snowman - For the First Time in Forever.  Broxton laughs when I try singing for him, but hey... I love it, so he enjoys it!   They even include a CD with the instrumental versions of the songs!   Perfect for Karaoke night! This is sure to be a hit this year, so make sure you grab a...

I love the story (and music) and Broxton loves Olaf.  It works out great for us and we need to actually watch the movie again soon, I am missing singing along! We have been lucky to have had the chance to read several of the Disney Line of Frozen Books and they just keep releasing them!  I love it though, what better way to get a child interested in reading than to write about something they enjoy????   One of the latest books from Disney Frozen?   Elsa's Gift  . This is a great book!   In this book, Arendelle is celebrating winter --- but it is because that is the season, not because of Queen Elsa.  (Meaning, this takes ...

Although I have a son, we were so excited to hear the news that Disney On Ice was presenting FROZEN and it was headed to Atlanta...    A friend of ours has a little girl that is a huge Anna / Elsa fan, so we invited them to join us for a great night of fun! I will start with saying " MAKE SURE YOU ARE THERE AND IN YOUR SEATS BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS!!!"   Luckily for us, we had already purchased our drinks and popcorn and were seated ready for the show when we heard "5 minutes until showtime."  We were ready!!! Why do you want to be there on time???? Because you do not want to miss a minute of the show!!!!   We had a great time.  I loved that it was just like the ...

Frozen.  You don't even have to have a kid to know this movie... When we were in the store, it was on the TV displays... When on facebook, you see all the you tube video's of people singing the different songs from the soundtrack....  So, there was no surprise when Disney Books started releasing books based on the popular movie!   One book is the Junior Novelization: Frozen .  This book is geared for the age range of 8-12.   I have not read this book, but I will say that it includes still images in the middle of the book from the movie, so you do get that... I have read mixed reviews on this book, so I ...
