When Finn and her dog Skeeter set out on a hike to cure their restless feet, they literally take a step into nature. A big gooey step...right into scat (also known as poop).
And just like the animal it comes from, scat comes in all shapes and sizes. Scat, along with foot or paw tracks, can tell a lot about the creature who produced it. As Finn's hike takes her further into the woods, she happens along some scat and tracks from a variety of woodland creatures.
Pairing punchy rhyme with science writing, Lisa Morlock has created the perfect nature guide, providing detailed descriptions of the prints, diets, and behaviors of the animals that Finn and Skeeter encounter along their hike. https://lisamorlock.com

Nap-a-Roo Board Book: It’s time for a nap-a-roo just like the kangaroo. Little ones can’t get enough of this adorable board book. With colorful images and imaginative text, your little one will fall in love with the story. Fast, fun, and engaging, Nap-a-Roo makes sleepy time special for children and parents! This board book makes an excellent gift for new parents and small toddlers. It is a popular product for newborn gift registries.
One of my favorite books on the market today is Nap-a-Roo baby board book In full disclosure, I am very bias towards this book… Why? Because I wrote it! Nap-a-Roo is my first book published, one of three currently in my Creative Kids Board Book Series. This board book is short, sweet, and to the point. Little eyes gravitate towards the bright images and catchy rhyming text.
When writing the book I focused on quick text that is easy to read and say out loud. It is truly fun to read! As the author, Kristy Kurjan, I wanted to create a book that parents actually enjoy reading to their children.
The illustrations were created with developing brains in mind…. Think whimsical animals that are quirky and fun loving. Little ones love the bright colors that seem to jump off the page. The illustrator, Tyler Parker, focused on simple backgrounds and making the animals have personality. His talent shines through in the images!
Nap-a-Roo board book has won numerous awards including the 2014 Silver Moonbeam Award for Best Board Book, the 2015 Silver IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Picture Book (0-3), and was named a Finalist in the 9th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards.
Critiques of the book say it is too short however the short nature of the book is by design. Parents love to read the book because it is short… Thus, if you have to read it ten times, you are still in good spirits when the inevitable 11th request to read again is made. Nap time routines make mid afternoon naps easier to manage, but they don’t have to be long and drawn out! Short and sweet, that is what Nap-a-Roo offers!
So, yes, I fully recommend Nap-a-Roo baby board book for ages 0-3. This book makes a great newborn gift as not many people own the book already. As an independently published book, it is not found on everyone’s book shelf yet, which I think makes it even more special!

One special rite of passage in childhood is the loss of the first baby tooth. For many children it's an exhilarating time, while for others the trauma of the first "gap" is cause for mortification. And the journey of losing those baby teeth is not a speedy one--it lasts for nearly six years!
In Letters From My Tooth Fairy, Natalie and her devoted tooth fairy exchange letters, asking and answering questions about some of childhood's most important moments. From the loss of her first tooth as a first grader to losing her last two baby teeth as a confident eleven-year-old, Natalie's early milestones, including bad school pictures and best friend troubles, are lovingly told through this epistolary relationship.
Readers of all ages--those with baby teeth and those years beyond--will cheer for Natalie as she experiences the highs and lows of this time of life. Energetic, colorful artwork perfectly captures the magic of this toothsome tale, making us all wish for our very own tooth fairy.
