Bookreview: Kitty Counts Her Blessings

 A children's picture book about the joy of gratitude.


What a beautiful and colourful children's book



Summary


Children are experts at finding delight everywhere they look, even when
life gets a little dark. Kitty Counts Her Blessings celebrates that gift-and
shares a lesson in counting besides.

As the story begins, Kitty has no trouble counting her blessings, from the sun
on her nose to the zing of the bees. But when rain threatens to spoil her fun,
finding blessings isn't so easy. Then she remembers learning hide-and-seek,
and suddenly joys are around every corner-and before long, so is her boy,
ready to play and count along with her.

This cheerful, rhyming book invites children and the grownups who love them to
seek the blessings in their own world.





My review


When I started reading this beautiful and colourful children's book, I was thinking:
perhaps we all should count our blessings more often. So, it contains a lesson for
us all. I liked the way the book and the story was built and the pictures really
were amazing!


I would recommend this book to parents who like to read for their children. Together
with the amazing paintings, I give without any doubt a 5 star rating for this book!

Bookreview: Unparalleled

 

"What an exciting science fiction story!"



Summary

Waking up in a strange house, with no memory of how or why he is there,
Stuart Milton finds his life has changed beyond recognition. His pregnant 
wife is missing, but his only living relative, his brother, is incapable of 
substantiating his claim.

Lost in a world of confusing that is spiralling out of his control, Stuart finds
temporary salvation in a psychiatrist assigned to his case.

This enthralling journey takes Stuart to the edge of sanity, culminating in
an unparalleled climax of kidnapping, betrayal and murder. 






My Review

When I started reading Unparalleled I was immediately into the story and I really
wanted to know what would come next.

The characters are all deepened out very well, the science fiction story is written
with lots of twist and mystery. I absolutely enjoyed reading.

Unparalleled makes the impossible possible and it takes the reader on a journey
during the existential crisis of the main character. 

I certainly will recommend Unparalleled to everybody who loves science fiction
stories. I give with lots of pleasure a five star rating to this excellent book!

I hope there will be a sequel soon!

The amazing people he has met and the places he has visited throughout his life
are a major inspiration for his writing.
