The Mirror Box by Wade W. Bergner

 Book Description:  

Christopher and Papa are inseparable.

They play games together, go hiking together, and laugh together. But one day Christopher’s mom enters his room with tears in her eyes and bad news to share. Papa has passed away.

Unsure how to move on from this awful news, Christopher spends the day in his room, wishing Papa was by his side. Then with the help of his dog, Sammie, Christopher discovers the Mirror Box. Soon, Christopher realizes that Papa might not be so far away after all.

The Mirror Box is an honest story of one boy’s journey from grief to acceptance. As readers follow Christopher, they’ll experience the hope and peace that comes from this magical, heartwarming gift.

My Review:

My kids are about the same age as Christopher, and they are extremely close to my parents, so I often worry about how they might handle their passing. This book is quite simply a treasure that we will revisit when that time comes so they we can remember the happy times together. The book is different than many that you see out today and that is great. One of my favorite parts of the book was the letter. My kids were so excited to read it! 

The Grumpy Crocodile by Nigel Tetley

Book Description: What are the jungle creatures to do about a bad-tempered crocodile who is making their lives a misery because of his constant oversleeping? Find out in this amusing rhyming story for young readers.

 

My Review: I read this with my 7 year old daughter who thoroughly enjoyed all of the snapping noises. She loves books that are in a lyrical prose and this one had a great flow to it. We love books that focus on nature and wildlife, so we really enjoyed The Grumpy Crocodile. The only thing that she didn't like was the eating of the fish as that made her a ltitle sad. I explained the cycle of life and the fact that we eat fish as well, and she was fine. :)
