Phil Vischer was the creator of VEGGIE TALES, which I enjoyed watching with my grandchildren, when they were about 2 up to school age.
This is his new project, which tells children what is in the Bible, why different religions have different amounts of books in their particular Bibles, and explains the books of the Bible in language that children can understand. It is entertaining, funny, and very educational. The puppets are varied, everything from a pirate to a priest, and the little blue haired Sunday School teacher. I think she probably taught us, when we were in Bible School, too.
I have 2 tickets for a free copy of Videos #1 and #2 that I will be giving away during the week my Review shows up on Tyndale's site, so if you have young children, send me a message, I'll put your name in the pot for the drawing.

SONS OF THUNDER by Susan May Warren
This is the fasinating story of Markos Starvos, his brother Dino, and Sofia Frangos, who they both love. It starts out on a small Greek island, follows them on their boat trip to America,to Chicago and then into WWII. The first chapters are written from Markos' view, the middle chapters from Dino's view, and the last chapters are written from Sofia's view.
It isn't 'light reading' material, as it has a lot of twists and turns which take concentration to keep straight, and it is character loaded, with full development of many of them. I struggled at the beginning trying to keep the relationships of several characters straight in my mind. But, after about 3 chapters, I found that it all straightened out, and from then on, the reading was easier. I recommend this to those readers who want a book that has some 'meat on it's bones', that takes awhile to read.

LOVE YOUR HEART by Tim McGraw & Tom Douglas
Forward by Faith Hill
Illustrated by Abigail Marble
Juvenile Fiction
This is Tim McGraw's 2nd book, his first book also features Katie, MY LITTLE GIRL.
Katie is trying to decide what she wants to do in the school talent show. She chooses one of her best talents, and practices, but on the night of the show, her plans change, and she helps a friend, instead, with her performance.
I must say that I got my 6 1/2 year old granddaughter to read this book, and give her opinion, and she gave it 2 thumbs up. What better recommendation could you get than that! She loves to read, and enjoyed the book very much.
I recieved no money for the review of this book, I did receive a free copy to read and review.
