Spring Picture Books Review + Giveaway


Have you started planting your garden yet?

This year we are planting tomatoes, some lettuce and cabbage. We've had quite a rainy Spring so we decided to wait a couple of weeks before planting.  Gardening is one of our favorite hobbies here in the Three Boys and an Old Lady household because we get to eat the rewards.  There is nothing better than fresh salsa made with tomatoes handpicked from your garden.  

We're so excited to share this bundle of Springtime reads with you.  Each book is beautifully illustrated and sure to bring a smile as you share with your new reader.  

Young cooks will learn about the edible gifts that each season brings in What's Cooking in Flowerville? Recipes from Garden, Balcony or Window Box by Felicita Sala (US publication info - 4/5/22; ISBN: 978-3791375182; Hardcover $14.95; Ages 5-9; 40 pages),  

This warm and inviting collection of recipes from the author of What’s Cooking at 10 Garden Street. Each month features a different member of the town, and a delicious recipe inspired by a fruit or vegetable. 

 Fantastic Fruits by Olaf Hajek and Annette Roeder (US pub info - 4/5/2022; ISBN: 978-3791375069; Hardcover $19.95; Ages 6-9; 40 pages), a beautiful exploration of everyone’s favorite fresh food.



 The National Menagerie of Art: Masterpieces from Vincent Van Goat to Lionhardo da Stinki by Thaïs Vanderheyden (US pub info - 5/3/22; ISBN: 978-3791375090; Hardcover $12.95; Ages 5-9; 56 pages) elevates serious art to the heights of pure giggle-inducing fun. This collection of cleverly reimagined masterpieces is the perfect way to introduce young readers to great art. 


Even the greatest works of art will often fail to enthrall young children. But insert a funny, loveable animal into the scene, and it’s a whole different story. This delightful picture book takes artistic license as it reimagines the world’s most famous paintings for a young audience. A teddy bear surfs Hokusai’s Great Wave; a charming pig changes Mona Lisa’s smile from cryptic to comic; Munch’s scream is far less angsty on a panda’s face, while Whistler’s mother–the elephant–gives new meaning to Arrangement in Grey and Black.

The Wild Garden by Cynthia Cliff (US pub info - 5/3/2022; ISBN: 978-3791375120; Hardcover $16.95; Ages 5-9; 32 pages) is filled with charmingly rustic illustrations of people, plants and animals. This story about community and biodiversity introduces children to the variety of ways things can grow and flourish in nature. 



  * * * G I V E A W A Y *** 

Three Boys and an Old Lady is so excited to partner with Media Masters to offer one lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader a collection of all 4 of these delightful books. 

  • This giveaway is open to residents in US/Can/UK only 
  • 1 winner will receive 4 books - What's Cooking in Flowerville?, Fantastic Fruits, The National Menagerie of Art, and The Wild Garden

There are very few people who are constantly aware of what's happening in the world of politics, television, sports, fashion, and crime. Crime news is something that gets everybody's intense attention, be it any corner of the world. Everyone requires safety, and needs assurance of everything being alright.

WOW! this is very rare and fantastic blog. This is the first time I've seen an article like this. Thank you for sharing!

In the intricate dance of existence, love embodies the essence of a gamble, where every step forward carries the weight of uncertainty. Much like a game of chance, life unfolds in unpredictable ways, and love, with its myriad complexities, becomes the ultimate wager. Sometimes, we find ourselves swept away by the exhilarating rush of victory, as love rewards us with boundless joy and fulfillment. Yet, there are moments when we stand at the edge of risk, contemplating whether to place our hearts on the line, knowing that the outcome may not always be in our favor. Nevertheless, it is in embracing this inherent gamble that we truly live, for love's unpredictability infuses our journey with passion, resilience, and the profound beauty of human connection.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
