Enter to Win $25 Children's Book Blast Giveaway - Fearless Joe Dearborne

About the Book

Title: Fearless Joe Dearborne | Author: Lisa Whitney Mitchell | Publication Date: July 11, 2014 | Publisher: Independent | Pages: 198 | Recommended Ages: 8+ Summary: Some might say he’s courageous, while others would say he’s daring, maybe even a little crazy. But when Joe Dearborne risked his life and ran into a burning building to save a puppy, the local newspaper referred to him as “fearless”—and that’s a pretty big title for a sixth-grader to live up to.

Plus, Joe already has plenty else to worry about. After other daring feats in the past, Joe promised his father he wouldn’t do anything dangerous again, and, alas, he’s just broken that promise. But whatever trouble he expects to get into with his father, and despite the dangers he’s triumphed over in the past, nothing could prepare Joe for what he’s about to encounter when a cold, bitterness creeps into his home. A mysterious and peculiar woman named Mrs. Chill has just been hired to care for Joe while his father is away on business. In no time, however, Joe discovers that she’s up to more than cooking and cleaning, and she has plans to destroy his family. Joe’s effort to save them results in perilous, sometimes humorous, encounters, and leads him on a journey through the threatening wilderness where he faces his greatest challenge yet.

 

The Buzz About the Book

Be sure to check out the Book Review Blitz Wrap-Up for Fearless Joe Dearborne were you can read excerpts from the 40+ reviews generated through the blitz. Here are some of the things reviewers had to say about Fearless Joe Dearborne:

Leigh Shearin: "Children from age 8-12 should love this story. It is full of suspense and excitement, but also provides well-disguised learning opportunities, which should please parents as well. I simply can't say enough good things about this wonderful debut novel. Lisa Whitney Mitchell has come out fearlessly, treating us all to what could become an iconic novel!"

Heart of a Philanthropist: "This reader was impressed with how many subplots are in Fearless Joe Dearborne. It is a short easy read. The book can easily be finished in just a few reading sessions. If you are looking for a good mystery embedded with humor, this book is for you! Recommended for 9-13 year old readers."

Identity Discovery: "I thought this was a fantastic book. Each chapter starts with a word being defined and then the word is used within the chapter. I absolutely love this aspect. It not only is an entertaining story, but it helps kids to learn new words and how to use them. The character development really showed Joe's transformation. I loved it."

Christy's Cozy Corners: "There is so much to love about this book...The storyline, setting, characters and pacing make this a great book for your kids to read alone or with you. I know I enjoyed it, so I recommend reading it with your child. I highly recommend it!"

1:25 am Reviews: "I read this entire book in one sitting. I just couldn't bear to put it down because there was never a dull moment!!"

BeachBoundBooks: "This is such a fantastic story. There is so much going on to keep children entertained throughout the book... The story teaches children about character and believing in yourself."

Bookworm for Kids: "Of course, I'm always a fan of shorter adventures. The 135 pages invites even hesitant readers to take a peek and get swept away in the fun. In other words, I can recommend this to boys and girls who love adventure, a few chills and tons of fun thrown in."

Sunshine, Bubbles and Books: "One of the strongest points of this book is how it shows the difference between being brave and being fearless. Often books portray recklessness as a positive trait... as a mother, I love that this paints it in a more realistic light. That there are consequences to actions."

A Leisure Moment: "This story is filled with adventure and mystery which can be inferred through the book cover... The attention to detail, along with the description of events really creates an atmosphere of a great story that upper elementary/middle level students will truly enjoy!"

Brooke Blogs: "I enjoyed the story as much as my 12 year old daughter did. This was a quick read and a page turner that we didn't want to put down until we were finished."

Kid Book Review - Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy

Bash and Lucy Kid Picture Book

• Author: Lisa Cohn and Michael Cohn
• Illustrator: Heather Nichols 
• Series: Bash and Lucy (Book 2)
• Paperback: 40 pages
• Publisher: Canines and Kids Publishing; 1st edition (December 7, 2014)

A cute entertaining kid story!

I read Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy to my daughter who loves dogs. She really enjoyed Lucy's (Bash's dog) playfulness and desire to bring smile to the kids faces. In the story, Lucy goes off to entertain another soccer team with her licks, love and playfulness. Bash (the main character and Lucy's owner) gets jealous. 

My daughter could relate because she sometimes gets that kid jealousy pet feeling when our dog Baxter (another kid picture book dog) pays more attention to her siblings than to her. Jealousy is a good emotion for kids to understand, especially because it can cause problems in situations where many times a problem really doesn't exist. Lucy's best friend will always be Bash, which is something Bash had to learn. Bash also  realized it was okay to share Lucy's special qualities.

This is a wonderfully illustrated story that touches on more than just jealousy. It also talks about service dogs and how different they are from your every day dog, making Lucy just as valuable. Animals bring life and love. This book shares the special friendship Bash and Lucy have.

ZORAA Voltii World's Smallest Smartphone 3000 mah Charger Review

I received the ZORAA Voltii World's Smallest Smartphone Charger for my honest opinion as a Tomoson product reviewer. 

So far the ZORAA smartphone charger has worked like a charm, quickly charging my phone. It's slick looking,  making it appealing to show friends. It has a boxier shape compared to the other portable compact chargers I own, which I absolutely am a huge fan of. This is the only smartphone portable charger I own that doesn't roll off my table when you set it down. 

The ZORAA charger is heavier though. Being the World's smallest smartphone charger, I would have expected it to be lighter than my other portable chargers. Length wise it's slightly shorter and width-wise it was a little wider (as you can see from the below photo).

Pros: 100% Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee. You really can't be that. It's sleek looking. It's boxier shape keeps it from rolling off a table. It comes with an outlet charger and car charger. The bag it came with is a black velvet and allows you to tote around the charger and accessories. It comes in three different colors - red, blue and black. 

Smallest Portable Smartphone Charger

Cons: Heavier than expected. Not as small as I would have thought it was going to be. I actually was hoping for it to be half the size of my present portable chargers for easier travel and storage. The black velvet bag it comes with is a little larger than needed.

Overall, with a 100% Lifetime Money Back Guarantee, you can't beat trying this charger out!

For more information and ability to purchase the World's smallest smartphone charger head to Amazon. You'll also find additional reviews.

How to Paint Wine Glasses - Adding Glitter and Gems (Part Three)

Hooray! Your diy hand painted wine glass is almost finished! Now it's time to add some glitter and sparkle to your diy beautiful glass piece.

Supplies you will need: 

• Dried or baked hand painted wine glass. 
• DO NOT bake your glass piece after you have adhered glitter or gems. They will burn and melt.
• Glitter colors of your choice.
• The glitter I prefer is Creatology Glitter Shakers.
• I tried really fine glitter and it doesn't adhere very well.
• Gem shape and size of your choice.

• I purchase most of my gems at Michaels Arts & Crafts right after a holiday.
• Most gems I find on sale are located in the scrapbooking or holiday display craft aisle.
• Gem glass adhesive.
• Aleene's Glass and Bead Adhesive is what I use.
• Glitter glue for glass.
• Delta Air Dry PermEnamel Clear Gloss Glaze OR
• Mod Podge - I found this doesn't work as well. But some people like it.
• Paint brush for glitter.
• Paper towel to remove glitter mistakes.
• Medium-sized container used to catch excess glitter.
• Rubber gloves.
• Tweezers to pick up and adhere small gems and beads.

Make sure you are in an air-vented room. 

• The gem glue smell is extremely strong and could knock out a gorilla.
• If you are pregnant, I would suggest doing this outside or not doing at all. 

READ all glue labels before you begin to know dry times and warnings. 

Adhere glitter first because the glitter glue will dry faster than the gem glue. This way you can do both steps within an hour of each other.

Steps to adhere glitter to wine glass:

1. Dip tip of paint brush in the Clear Gloss Glaze.
   
2. Paint a layer of the clear gloss glaze in the area you would like glitter. 
3. Open the glitter container.
4. Hold the wine glass in your hand over the medium-sized container.
5. Pick up the glitter and sprinkle the glitter over the area of glue. I completely cover it.
   
6. Carefully blow off the excess glitter into the container. 
7. Make touch-ups.
   
8. Carefully dump the excess glitter in the container back into the glitter shaker.
9. Wait at least 30 minutes before adding glitter to another area. This way you won't mix colors.

Steps to adhere gems to wine glass:

1. Add a small amount of the platinum bond glue to the wine glass. You don't need much. 
   
2. Place gem on top of bond adhesive and press down.
   
3. Continue adhering all gems.
   
4. You should not wash your wine glass for 10 days after adhering gems to ensure the platinum bond gem adhesive has completely dried.

The Digital Crayon Stylus for Tablets and Smartphones Review

I was really excited to have my 3 year old and 10 year old girls try this product. It's such a great idea - fun crayon-like experience to make any drawing and coloring on tablets enjoyable! Kids love products and toys that are colorful and make their experience fun and entertaining. The Digital Crayon Stylus is one that was created to do this; however, from my kids personal experience it didn't live up to our expectations.

The Digital Crayon Stylus arrived in fun colorful packaging. I chose the orange crayon-like stylus to try-out. There are other colors available, depending on your child's personal preference. I originally thought that the color of the Digital Crayon Stylus was going to be the color that appeared when you colored or drew on your tablet. It actually isn't. The crayon-like stylus is just that "a stylus". When coloring, you use the stylus to select the colors you would like to fill in the coloring page. This to me wasn't a negative because the concept appealed to my kids - a fun, colorful stylus to use when coloring or drawing on their tablet.

Digital Crayon Stylus

What was challenging for both of my kids was the size, shape and durability of the stylus's tip. The Digital Crayon Stylus's tip was made out of a rubber-like material that was soft to the touch and could easily be pushed in. And you bet that all four of my kids tested that out, which I then had to lay down a rule that NO ONE was allowed to touch the tip of the stylus. I hate having to make rules for something that is supposed to be such a fun kid experience.

The crayon-like stylus's tip was also thicker, making it more challenging for even my 10 year old daughter to stay in the lines when she colored. This became frustrating for her and not as much fun. My 3 year old didn't care. She had fun coloring and it didn't matter if she stayed in the lines. However, within 15 minutes of my 3 year old coloring, she brought the stylus to me. She had torn the rubber-like tip of the stylus, making it unusable.

Overall, my kids and I love the concept. However, the way it is designed today just isn't user-friendly for any child over 3 years old to easily color within the lines.

Liztek PSS-60 Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Review

Liztek Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

I was so excited when I was accepted by Liztek to review this portable speaker! My Assistant Softball Coach had one similar, which immediately caught my interest because it was durable and wireless. He would bring it to our games and blast some fun jams to get the kids pumped up. It worked like a charm!
I highly recommend checking this product out! Even my husband was impressed. And it comes in additional colors like red and blue! 


As soon as Liztek PSS-60 Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker arrived, I had to try it out. What I noticed immediately was that this portable speaker was so light, making it easy to tote around. Inside the box was the speaker, instructions and a connector cord for people who own smartphones or other devices that don't have Bluetooth capability. Such a brilliant addition in their product packaging! 

It was very easy to pair with your smartphone, iPad or other Bluetooth device. I loved that it didn't require any code to get it working. I played several songs before trying out the speakerphone feature. The sound quality was clear even when I continued to raise the volume. 

When testing the speakerphone, I had my 10 year old daughter call me from our house phone to my iPhone, which was paired to the portable speaker. I clicked on the phone button on top of the speaker and was connected to her. Everything worked perfectly. The only thing was there was a delay in her voice and my voice reaching each other. I've experienced this many times with other Bluetooth devices. This happens because of the technology being used and/or the quality of the connection. Other than that this portable speaker works amazing!

Liztek Wireless Bluetooth Portable Speaker With SIRI Function Review

This portable speaker is great for outdoor parties, the beach, tailgating, and kids sports games! The Liztek Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is the first portable bluetooth speaker I've tried. I own several other portable speakers, all that require me to plug it into my iPhone, which I have to disconnect to make a call. With the Liztek Wireless Bluetooth Speaker you don't have to disconnect because it's wireless! I love that you can easily connect it to your smartphone and there aren't any wires required if your smartphone is bluetooth enabled. 

Setting it up is very easy. First you need to charge the portable bluetooth speaker. It took less than 3 hours for it to be fully charged.  Then all you need to do is turn the bluetooth feature on your smartphone (i.e. iPad, Android device, iPhone) and then turn the speaker itself on. A SIRI-like voice immediately sounded  and said that it's pairing (connecting with your smartphone). The speaker connected within seconds to my Apple iPhone.

I played some holiday music for me and my kids. The music sounded crisp and clear! I even blasted it and still it sounded of higher quality. I hate speakers where you put the volume up and you start hearing a static, crackling sound. This speaker still sounded amazing when I blasted it. And it was LOUD! After listening to a few songs, I had my daughter call me on it. This portable bluetooth speaker is also a speakerphone! I actually was apprehensive that it would even work and for that matter sound good. This little speaker really surprised me. I could hear my daughter very clearly through the speaker and she said she could hear me too. We then switched where I called her from our home phone and she talked and listened through the speaker. Again, she sounded just like she does when we talk on a regular phone. I did notice a slight delay, but nothing major. It didn't have any impact on she and I having a conversation.

I highly recommend checking this product out! Even my husband was impressed. And it comes in additional colors like red and blue! 

Available on Amazon

I received a Liztek PSS-100 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Built in Speakerphone from Liztek in exchange for an honest review.
