This is the sweet and funny tale of a young girl named Candy and a Cankersaurus Rex! Candy receives a dinosaur as a gift and is determined to train him to be a good pet.

This is a story of a little girl named Candace Courtney Wellesley Wellington but everyone called her Candy, Her father Mister Wellington is a very busy dad, he wishes he could spend more time with his daughter and one day he decided to buy her a Cankersaurus Rex. Candy immediately starts training her dinosaur.

I don’t usually review children books but since I’m open to any genre when the Author asked if I was willing to make a review for this book I immediately accepted. You see, I have a 3-year-old boy that is crazy about dinosaurs and since it’s a book directed to children I decided to make this review with him. When we started reading this book my son was fascinated by the illustrations and as we read along I could see how much he was enjoying the adventures of Candy and Cank he was paying attention to the book till the end and appeared very entertained with the story.

I was pleased to see that this book addresses friendship and responsibility in a very understandable way for the kids, it also teaches parents to try and spend more time with their little ones. Overall a cute and quick read for the children.

I received this book from Jason Sandberg, all the opinions are honest and my own.

Scones and Sensibility Review:

Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland

Polly Madassa is convinced she was born for a more romantic time. A time when Elizabeth Bennet and Anne of Green Gables walked along the moors and beaches of the beautiful land, a time where a distinguished gentleman called upon a lady of quality and true love was born in the locked eyes of two young lovers.

But alas, she was not.

This, however, does not stop our young heroine from finding romance wherever she can conjure it up. So while Polly is burdened with a summer job of delivering baked goods from her parents bakery (how quaint!) to the people in her small beach town, she finds a way to force…um…encourage romance to blossom. She is determined to bring lovers, young and old, together…whether they want to be or not.

My Thoughts:

12 year old Polly Madassa is obsessed with Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, she truly believes life is like in Jane Austen novels or Anne of Green Gables, so when her parents, owners of the local bakery, set her up for a summer job in which she have to deliver baked goods to local customers she, as a hopeless romantic, starts a project as a Matchmaker, thus starts interfering in the lives of others, Polly’s real problem is her lack of listening to others, as the story develops things doesn’t go according to her plan.

Polly narrates her story in first person and in an old fashioned flowery language. Sometimes the situations Polly triggered where a little annoying and I found my self wanting to shake Polly and tell her to Wake up. After some ups and downs Polly finally notice love in real life is different form a book.

This is a Cute, fluffy and light read.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Review:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter, Book #7

The heart of Book 7 is a hero's mission--not just in Harry's quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man--and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore's warning about making the choice between "what is right and what is easy," and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling's skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.

This is a book that cannot be passed up. It answers more questions in such a special way that only Rowling is capable of.If you wanted to know something about the previous books, the answers are in here.Good book, but the finally epilogue not so sure.

The Little Prince Review:

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint- Exupéry

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

In The Little Prince, a small boy leaves the tiny planet on which he lives alone, on a trip to Earth, where he is introduced to the vagaries of adult behaviour.

I can't get enough of this book,the book appears to be for younger readers but the message clearly is for adults as well. The story is told from an adult's point of view.I don't know how to begin to describe The Little Prince.

★★★★★
