A Two Knights Review by Sir Julius on Can We Play Again? By Corine Dehghanpisheh

Sir Julius's Review:
 Four Stars!

I liked this story. It taught me that if I feel sad that it is okay to talk to someone about it. Sometimes I miss my dad when he goes to work too. I was happy that the girl didn't feel sad anymore and that she played with with her dog again. I was starting to feel really bad for him.



Mom's Thoughts:


I really like to find unique stories for kids, and this is one of them. This book could be a great resource for a child that is in therapy, and perhaps feeling awkward about his or her situation. However, it is also a valuable lesson for other children, who may not need therapy, to be sensitive to what their peers may be going through. Overall, I think the author did a great job creating a story on a child's level that promotes compassion and understanding. Well done, Corine!

A Two Knights Review by Sir Julius on Clothes Have Feelings Too. Charlie Learns To Care For His Things by Ari Mazor


Clothes Have Feelings Too. Charlie Learns to Care for His Things 
By Ari Mazor

Sir Julius's Review:

I really like this book and would read it again. The best part was when the clothes wanted to hide on Charlie. I liked that the clothes could talk. This story taught me that it is good to take care of my dirty clothes. 

Mom's Thoughts:

This is the second book that we've read by Ari and the author has picked some great life lessons to touch upon.  I know this author is younger, but to me that is an advantage in their favor. Ari is able to get down to a child's level and make the story appealing. Any story that can encourage my children to pick up their dirty clothes is a winner. The illustrations were colorful and appealing. Well done again, Ari!
