Happy Birthday to You! by Michelle Medlock Adams; Illustrated by Sandra Rodriguez

Are you looking for a fun gift for a little one who is celebrating a birthday soon?  Then take a look at Michelle Medlock Adams' newest book, Happy Birthday to You!  This book even has the ability to be personalized with a photo at the end of the book.  It also has a button you can push to sing happy birthday.  My youngest son is having his second birthday this month, and I'm so excited to see him open this book.  It has bright vivid colors that will draw a child's attention and keep them interested. The text is all done in a cute little rhyme that makes reading fun.  The board book is nice and sturdy to help last as little hands pull on the pages, and the song is a fun addition to the book.  My kids love to push buttons! So if you're looking for a fun new book for a birthday boy or girl who is ages 2-5, make sure to check out this fun book.

From the Back Cover:
Balloons and streamers, gifts, a cake with candles, and, of course, the birthday song!  This book is jam-packed with all the elements that make birthdays so special for little ones.  Follow along throughout a day of celebration, then push the button to sing along with the music!

God Bless America: a patriotic coloring book

Have you taken part in this new craze of adult coloring books?  I thought this would be a fun coloring book to try out and I was right.  It was fun and relaxing to sit and color a page while watching the Olympics this past week.

The pages are filled with fun historical American art to color and each page has all the historical information about the quote and art on the back of the page.

The pages on this book are thicker to keep markers from bleeding through to the next page, but the back side of the page does show the marker.  So if you're wanting to be able to read all the historical information that has been put on the backs of these pages, you'll need to use colored pencils.

If you're looking for a fun adult coloring book, pick up this new one from Multnomah and enjoy some fun, relaxing, recreational coloring.
