Bedtime for Baby Book Reviews: Peace Dragon Alphabet Picture Books

Flowerpot Press recently added two new books to their Peace Dragon collection.  The books, alphaBetter and How I Did It, are whimsical books featuring creative uses of language.

We received copies of both books to review and share.

alphaBetter, written by Linda Ragsdale with illustrations by Martina Hogan, is a delightful play on words book.  The second in the Peace Dragon series - Words was the first - is a vocabulary wonder.  Little ones and new readers are sure to enjoy hearing you pronounce these word combinations without laughing.  Really, I mean you try saying "Goolarious" three times fast without laughing. 

The watercolor illustrations of various animals are the perfect accompaniment to this literary creation.  alphaBetter is fun to read and perfect for children of all ages.

ALPHABETTER
Empower your vocabulary with this hilarious dictionary full of playfully re-paired words that motivate, uplift, and inspire. Laugh and learn as you read each new word, and discover the amazing power our words have when we use them to encourage others and ourselves!

How I Did It is another play on words from Flowerpot Children's Press written by Linda Ragsdale with illustrations by Anoosha Syed.  

The letter I takes on a persona and tags readers along on a ride from paper to the classroom.  A fun read with active, colorful illustrations which will have readers eager to go to the next page and wanting you to read this book over and over again.  

How I Did It is a great read for new readers and introduces a few vocab combinations but nothing too difficult.  


HOW I DID IT
Curious and inspired, I was full of ideas. I turned adversity into adventure when I took a chance and tried to change. Readers young and old will be inspired by how I did it.

Reading to children is so important and really essential for their brains. I have been reading to my kids for the past 15 years. My son, a teenager, will still venture in when I read to my daughters at night.

My 19 month old grandson is starting to show interest in reading. He can breeze through a spelling app on my phone. I think this would be a great book to get for him. Thanks for the review!

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
