Lee Has to Sop Eating Candy

Lee Has to Stop Eating Candy
by Leela Hope


Do your kids have trouble with eating healthy foods?
Do they have a sweet tooth?
Everyone likes candy, but sometimes we eat too much of it.


Lee has to Stop Eating Candy is the story of a young boy faced with a choice.

Lee finds a bag of candy while his mother is outside. What should he do?

Lee’s choice sets off a chain of calamities for our hero. Will he ever be able to eat candy again?

The story provides a good way for parents and children to talk about the importance of eating right and can also be used as a good tool by public health professionals.

It is a great story for bedtime and can be read to the whole family. 

A terrific choice for early readers

My Review
I LOVE Leela Hope as you can tell!
And I will be honest--I actually got this book for ME!
I too have eaten myself into a candy trance once or twice :)
See what happens to Lee and what his mother does when she finds him--

It is the first of the year and I have made it a goal to stop eating candy--WHO IS WITH ME???

Princess Nancie Gets Ready for Bed
by Leela Hope

Princess Nancie will do anything to get out of going to bed.

She tries to help her parents out with chores and organize a family movie night, but alas her parents still think she should go to bed.

Nancie shows some amazing resourcefulness as she tries to avoid her bedtime. 

The book is brought to life by vivid illustrations and rhyming verse.

A book that the whole family will enjoy and a lesson the whole family needs to learn.

My Review
I read this last night as I was suppose to be going to bed--
Yes, even we as adults put off going to bed.
Why do we do that???
A fun family read!

Do they understand the value of family?

WILLA THE WOLF GETS NEW SHOES
by Leela Hope

Does your child have trouble with a mean girl at school? Are they afraid to be themselves?

Willa the wolf is so happy about her new shoes until Cynthia Swan tells everyone that the shoes are ugly. 

Willa is very upset and is not sure how to handle the situation. 

Join Willa as she learns how to deal with mean kids and even helps Cynthia in the end. 

The story is brought to life by beautiful illustrations and told in flowing verse. 

A terrific story for the entire family to read together. Perfect for kids 0-5.

My Review
This book really is WONDERFUL!
The story is simple, yet so profound!
Not only does it address the issue of bullying, but it also shows how to be a friend--even to that bully.
There is a lesson here to be learned by ALL of us; young and old alike.

What girl doesn't like shiny new shoes?

Walter Wolf Goes to the Dentist

6 comments
DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS AFRAID 
TO GO TO THE DENTIST?

Walter Wolf has heard from his brother Willy that the Dentist sometimes uses a drill. 

Walter’s parents tell him that it will be ok, but he is scared to have his teeth looked at by the Dentist. 

The book is brought to life by vivid illustrations and rhyming verse. 

A book that the whole family will enjoy and a lesson the whole family needs to learn.

A great read for children from 2 to 82. 
A story about facing your fears and people, or in this case wolves, overcoming obstacles.

Bert the Squirt
This is a heartwarming story of a young dragon who gets bullied at school because he can’t breathe fire.

Sadly, Bert thinks he’s not good enough because he breathes water instead.
