Book Post - Pieces and Players

About the Book
THE PIECES
Thirteen extremely valuable pieces of art have been stolen from one of the most secretive museums in the world. A Vermeer has vanished. A Manet is missing. And nobody has any idea where they and the other eleven artworks might be . . . or who might have stolen them.

THE PLAYERS
Calder, Petra, and Tommy are no strangers to heists and puzzles. Now they've been matched with two new sleuths -- Zoomy, a very small boy with very thick glasses, and Early, a girl who treasures words . . . and has a word or two to say about the missing treasure.

The kids have been drawn in by the very mysterious Mrs. Sharpe, who may be playing her own kind of game with the clues. And it's not just Mrs. Sharpe who's acting suspiciously -- there's a ghost who mingles with the guards in the museum, a cat who acts like a spy, and bystanders in black jackets who keep popping up.

With pieces and players, you have all the ingredients for a fantastic mystery from the amazing Blue Balliett.



My Take on the Book
We loved reading this book as a family. My girls and I are BIG mystery fans and this book falls right into this genre. The author does a great job at keeping you in suspense as the pieces and players within the book are maneuvered around. You really are kept off-guard and you do not know where the book will be turning next. That being said, I am not going to give any spoilers, so you will have to read this yourself to see how it ends. I will say though that the book is engaging and a quick read. No sooner did we start reading, then we finished (or so it felt like). A great book!

Book Review - Sprinkles: Creating Awesome Experiences Through Innovative Service

About the Book
If Cirque du Soleil wrote a book on customer service, it would probably sound like Sprinkles. This provocative book has been endorsed by marketing guru Seth Godin, famed executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, as well as the CEOs or Presidents of Ritz-Carlton Hotels, UPS, Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Kimpton Hotels, Nationwide, Lucchese and Edible Arrangements. They laud its compelling stories, insights, and techniques.

Sprinkles is authored by Chip Bell, the inventive mind that wrote such bestselling books as The 9 1/2 Principles of Innovative Service, Take Their Breath Away, Service Magic and Managing Knock Your Socks Off Service. Just as sprinkles make a good cupcake special, this amazing book provides the perfect recipe for elevating the loyalty of today's picky, fickle, and vocal customers.


My Take on the Book
This was a great book with practical tips and hints that will turn your customer service upside down. Though this book is small it packs a BIG punch and you will leave this not only excited and energized (at least I did), but also enthusiastic about the possibilities to come. I started to use some of the strategies within this book right away and am starting to see large scale changes in my workplace and my co-workers. If you are looking for a no-nonsense book that will provide you with amazing tips and ideas for supercharging your own customer service, this is definitely the book to read!

Book Review - Vegetables in Underwear

About the Book
A bunch of friendly vegetables wear colorful underwear of all varieties—big, small, clean, dirty, serious, and funny—demonstrating for young ones the silliness and necessity of this item of clothing. The unexpectedness of vegetables in their unmentionables is enough to draw giggles, but the pride with which the “big kid” attire is flaunted in front of the baby carrots in diapers will tickle readers of all ages. With rhyming text that begs to be chanted aloud and art that looks good enough to eat, this vibrant story will encourage preschoolers to celebrate having left those diapers behind!


My Take on the Book
This was a cute book that uses humor and food to have a fun time talking about leaving diapers behind. The humor is geared toward kids and gets at some of the things that they see as important and in reading this to my youngest, she was laughing from the very beginning to the end of the book.  The illustrations were silly and cute, and young kids will definitely get a kick out of seeing the vegetables in situations that they can relate to! This was a fun book for kids and adults to share together!

Book Review - The Adventures of Shola

About the Book
Small dog. Big dreams.

From her rustic, mouse-mad cousin Angeliño to Señor Grogó's rodeo-chasing, wild Aunt Clementine from Wyoming, nobody in these four surprising stories can help agreeing with Shola in the end: leads are for losers and it's far better to be free. Shola is a dog who knows what's what and how best to say it, and she'll even say it live on tv. As long as nobody gets too discombobulated about it.Shola may look like an ordinary white pet dog but, as her long-suffering owner Señor Grogó knows only too well, she is in fact a highly cultivated creature and the world is her playground - or rather, her jungle. For little Shola is ever ready to discover her inner lioness or to lead the pack on a wild-boar hunt. If only home-made cheese and finely cooked, delicious, marvelous, near-miraculous chips were not quite so tempting, the world would recognize her for the heroic dog she truly is. Luckily Shola finds soul-mates in unexpected quarters.



My Take on the Book
This was a fun book that was funny and charming. I loved the character of Shola and while the book was not what I first expected, it ended up being a book that I thoroughly enjoyed and one that I entranced and encouraged me to continue reading page after page. The author did a great job with the story and character development and in the end you truly want Shola to find the love and friendship that is being searched for. This was a heartwarming book that was a fun read, and it is one that I would encourage all to read!

Book Review - The Flying Classroom

About the Book
'Walter Trier's deceptively innocent drawings are as classic as Kastner's words; I never tire of them' Quentin Blake Martin's school is no ordinary school. There are snowball fights, kidnappings, cakes, a parachute jump, a mysterious man called 'No-Smoking' who lives in a railway carriage and a play about a flying classroom. As the Christmas holidays draw near, Martin and his friends - nervous Uli, cynical Sebastian, Johnny, who was rescued by a sea captain, and Matthias, who is always hungry (particularly after a meal) - are preparing for the end-of-term festivities. But there are surprises, sadness and trouble on the way - and a secret that changes everything. The Flying Classroom is a magical, thrilling and bittersweet story about friendship, fun and being brave when you are at your most scared. (It also features a calf called Eduard, but you will have to read it to find out why.)

Erich Kastner, writer, poet and journalist, was born in Dresden in 1899. His first children's book, Emil and the Detectives, was published in 1929 and has since sold millions of copies around the world and been translated into around 60 languages. After the Nazis took power in Germany, Kastner's books were burnt and he was excluded from the writers' guild. He won many awards, including the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1960. He died in 1974. Walter Trier was born in Prague in 1880. In 1910 he moved to Berlin, where he would later be introduced to Kastner, and began his career drawing cartoons for the Berliner Illustrated. He also contributed to the satirical weekly Simplicissimus, where during the 1920s, despite great personal risk, he ridiculed Hitler and the Nazi Party in a series of cartoons. In 1936 he fled to London, where he was involved in producing anti-Nazi leaflets and political propaganda drawings. He would go on to have a rich career, producing around 150 covers for the humorous magazine Lilliput. He died in 1951 in Ontario, Canada. Anthea Bell is an award-winning translator. Having studied English at Oxford University, she has had a long and successful career, translating works from French, German and Danish. She is best known for her translations of the much-loved Asterix books, Stefan Zweig and W.G. Sebald.



My Take on the Book
This was a well written novel that was intriguing and enchanting. You truly get to be taken on a journey through all of the characters' growth. There are humorous moments along with ones that are tender and filled with hope. While I had never heard of this author or this story before, I was impressed and would love to find more written by Mr. Kastner if they are available. This is a quick read and one that will keep you engaged and interested. A great read!

Book Review - The Leadership Handbook

About the Book
New York Times best-selling author and leadership expert John Maxwell offers practical insight into learning how to lead the person who matters most-yourself.

The path to leadership begins with a question only few of us ask: How do I lead myself? John Maxwell presents twenty-six insights, not just for those who aspire to positions of leadership but also for veteran leaders who aim to build and improve upon the steps that led them to the front of the line.

Sound leadership will impact any endeavor, but sound leaders are prepared for risk-and importantly, failure-just as they point the way toward achievement. With application exercises and a "Mentoring Moment" to accompany each chapter, The Leadership Handbook presents a road map for a path many may cross but few choose to follow. "A leader," counsels Maxwell, "never has to recover from a good start."

About the Author
John C. Maxwell is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has sold more than 24 million books in fifty languages. Maxwell was identified as the most popular leadership expert in the world by Inc. magazine in 2014. He is the founder of the John Maxwell Company, the John Maxwell Team, and EQUIP.




My Take on the Book
I love the leadership teachings of John Maxwell and this book is a treasure trove of great ideas, tips, resources and more to assist you in being a strong professional and personal leader. What you read in this book is profound and really hits close to your own experiences. The author brings in so many practical examples that the reader can relate to. I found that in each section of the book I could see different personal and professional experiences that related to the teachings that he shares. One thing that I will say about this book is that all ages can grow and learn from what is held within its' pages. I wish that I had read this when I was in high school just starting on my own leadership journey as it would have easily paved the road for future decisions that I made along the way. As you read this you will find and feel that you have someone going along with you for the ride as you learn and grow with each page read. Get ready to strengthen your own leadership skills!

Honey Maid Go Bites, the perfect on-the-go snack for active kids! #ThisIsWholesome

About the Snack
Kids today are constantly on the go, bouncing from school to glee club to soccer practice – which means parents need wholesome snacks with important nutrients – snacks that can provide nutritious fuel as kids prepare for their next adventure. Finding a snack with both the delicious taste kids want and other positives like protein and whole grain is as easy as picking up a box of Honey Maid Go Bites. Today, Honey Maid, part of the global snacking powerhouse Mondelez International, Inc., unveiled a mess-free snack both kids and parents can enjoy.

Honey Maid Go Bites Filled Snacks are crispy graham pockets filled with delicious ingredients kids can love together with 7g of whole grains and 5g of protein per 30g serving. In line with the full portfolio of Honey Maid's wholesome offerings, Go Bites Filled Snacks are made with whole grains and real honey, without high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors.

"Parents are looking for snacks that are easy and nutritious, while kids want snacks that taste great," said Tracey Benitz, Senior Brand Manager, Wholesome Kids, North America. "Our goal is to consistently provide families with delicious, wholesome and enjoyable snacks that both parents and kids can agree on, and Go Bites do just that – combining nutrients like protein with a delicious filling."

Go Bites delivers the dual benefits of protein to help support growth. Children rarely get the recommended amount of whole grains in their diets1. Go Bites also delivers whole grains that provide wholesome energy to help fuel active play.

Honey Maid Go Bites are now available in mass retailers nationwide for the suggested retail price of $4.19 per box in both chocolate and vanilla filling flavors. For more information, check out HoneyMaid.com, Facebook.com/HoneyMaid or engage with @HoneyMaidSnacks and #ThisIsWholesome on Twitter.


 
My Take on the Snack
I am always looking for snacks that I can easily add to lunches as well as snacks that my kids ask me for continually. This new snack from Honey Maid did both. Interestingly enough, both of my girls had their favorite flavors and of course they were different from each other. My eldest loved the chocolate and my youngest loved the vanilla. Both said that the snacks tasted great and that they wanted us to continue to get them and have them for lunches, but also around the house for an after school snack (or really anytime). As a parent, I love finding snacks that are packed with high quality ingredients that are good for my kids and Honey Maid delivers here! I will be looking for these now in local stores around me and you should too!

My Take on the Movie
My wife was a Spanish major in college and taught Spanish to Elementary kids for a number of years so my family has been very versed in the idea and traditions of The Day of the Dead for some time. That being said though I was intrigued at the idea of this movie and looked forward to seeing it. After watching it with the kids I have to say that the movie was well made and had some great connections to the culture and tradition that surrounds this holiday. The story was great and while there were a few parts that my youngest was a bit scared of, she still enjoyed the movie too. This was a great family movie that I would recommend to all!

KIDZ BOP albums continue to top the charts as a perennial best seller. Last year, KIDZ BOP sold nearly one million albums, outselling top artists including: Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea and Katy Perry.

Cliff Chenfeld, Co-Founder of KIDZ BOP said, “We saw great success with our album sales and live tour last year, and look forward to continued growth in 2015. We’re excited to work with CAA again to book our new ‘Make Same Noise’ tour and give even more kids their first live concert experience.” Craig Balsam, Co-Founder of KIDZBOP, added, “We are proud to know that, after 14 years, our music continues to resonate with families everywhere as a fun and safe part of their daily lives.”

The release of KIDZ BOP 27 follows the announcement of the all-new “Make Some Noise” tour, headlined by The KIDZ BOP Kids.

KIDZ BOP connects with kids and families through its best-selling music, popular KIDZ BOP Radio channel on SiriusXM, TV commercials, consumer products, and live tours.



My Take on the CD
This was a great CD that both my daughters simply love. As a parent, I have to say that I love this album as there are some of the songs that in original form I would never want my girls to listen to. That being said with these songs you get great new lyrics and with them being sung by kids, I know that for my daughters they found commonality with the kids singing because of their age. All-in-all this was definitely another hit out of the park!
