I received three e-books from Guardian Angel Publishing to review for The Old Schoolhouse Crew. I received these books in e-book format. Guardian Angel Publishing gives you the choice to purchase their books in either e-book, print, or CD-Rom format.
No Bones About It is full of catchy rhymes, silly illustrations, and fun things they call "factoids." to help you and your child learn all about the bones in our bodies.
Earthquake is a fun read also. I appreciated some of the fun activities they suggested to teach your child what an earthquake might feel or look like by using simple items like a bath towel and bath water. This book also has fun "factoids."
Andy and Spirit Go To The Fair by Mary Jean Kelso is a picture book about a young boy who is bound to a wheelchair who learns to ride a horse named Spirit. The illustrations are nice, and the story has a wonderful message that will allow you to have a dialogue with your child about handicapped individuals.
As I mentioned previously, I received all three of these books in e-book format. I thought the two science books worked well in this format, but I would have preferred to have "Andy and Spirit Go To The Fair" in print format simply because it's a storybook. We would have enjoyed the illustrations more, and also because we like to cuddle up on the couch for our read-alouds, and often reading from a desktop or laptop is not conducive to cuddling while reading. Again, this is a personal preference, and Guardian Angel Publishing gives you the option to purchase either e-book or print copy. An advantage of purchasing e-books is it saves you shipping and handling charges, and the cost for the product is also cheaper.
