Children's Book: The Other Side: (Children's Picture Book On Being Grateful)
by A. M. Marcus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have you ever looked out at something far away and thought how beautiful? How much better it was than what I have? Well this is the story of just that, only told from the perspective of two young children. Each thought the other had something so much better than they had, when in reality they had the same things.
Author Assaf Marcus has created a name for himself in writing quality children's books with purpose and meaning. They are always cute stories and yet they are never too young, children of many age ranges can benefit from his stories. To reinforce the message in the younger ages, he has even included free coloring book pages to go with the book.
As a parent, I love his books. I have used them a number of times, and I have even heard my own daughter refer to his books when explaining a concept to a friend!! I also know and work with a number of teachers and daycare providers, and I always recommend his books to them as well. They also find that they work well with the children and carry a message in a gentle way that the children are more receptive to and willing to accept.

Children's Book: The Carrot, the Egg and the Tea Bag: (Children's Picture Book Dealing With Pressure) (Ages 5-10)
by Assaf Marcus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the things in your life? Has your child ever felt overwhelmed with school, and sports, and other activities? Never really know how to explain it so that they can understand it? Well, here is a simple easy answer.
Sharon is overwhelmed with Ballet, math and a Spelling Bee all coming up. So her Father, with a little help in the kitchen, explains to her how we can let challenges change us, or we can change based on the challenge.
I read this with my child, and she thought it was great, she understood the concept and said that she would use that analogy when explaining it to other people lafe on.
We have yet to download the FREE coloring book that is included in the purchase, but hope to real soon! That is just another added bonus for the younger reading set. The coloring book reinforces the lessons and ideas taught in the book, adding to them and helping younger children remember and understand the concepts.
Once again, a fabulous book by author Assaf Marcus for children, something please measure and propose. He has probably became my favorite writer for children's books. I love them and look forward to passing this on to another generation of readers!
