Book Reviews ROCK! (Even if you are a rude cake....)

So, J-Bird and I reviewed a book and the author responded! How cool is that? Ms. Beth is also using his email in a tweet today! I'm so excited to be a part of things in the book world. So blessed to know such talented people!



We read:


You can find the full review at Books & Whatnot....Here is half of my review--or more like J-Birds:

My eight-year-old son approached and asked what I was doing. I told him I was reviewing/reading a book for Ms. Beth at Books & Whatnot. He informed me he would like to read it as well because it looks amazing. He is right. The cover does hook an eight-year-old, especially with the word "Rude" in large letters on it. So I let him read it.

From the eight-year-old after finishing Rude Cakes by Rowboat Watkins:

"This book does a great job of explaining how people can be rude and not have any manners. The cake doesn't even listen to his mom and argues with her at bed time. It has a one-eyed monster who does listen and is very nice. I really liked the one-eyed monster. He looks friendly. Mom, the cake learns to be nice to the crumbs because of the monster's example. Some of the people in my class need to read this book.

I couldn't have said it better. Thanks, Mr. Watkins. I will be sharing Rude Cakes with my son's classroom.
