Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox

Book cover art for Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox by Sybrina Durant Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox
by Sybrina Durant
Genre: Children, How-to

     This is an adorable book that tells a tale of a fox chasing a rabbit. Not only is the story entertaining it serves as a mnemonic device to help children learn and remember how to tie a tie. I knew there was one for tying shoelaces but had never known about this one. The fun illustrations made me wish that I had a Kindle Fire so I could see them in full color. A great gift idea for Christmas that is unique and can be fun for the whole family. There is even an accompanying song that you can listen to at the author's website.

I give it 5 star review graphic 5 stars!

I Asked Her Out, She Said Yes - Now What? Book Review

I Asked Her Out, She Said Yes -
   Now What? A Crash Course in Dates
   That Lead to Relationships

by Jarett Waite
Nonfiction, How-to

     Have a hot date this weekend? Or even a first date that you are nervous about? While this book is mostly dating advice for guys it is still entertaining for women to read as well. For men it shows some dos and don'ts regarding what type of behavior women most appreciate during a date. For women it is a nice reminder of how men SHOULD be treating you. Waite has a great sense of humor and even though his subject matter is serious, he manages to make it enjoyable to read. This almost seems a bit more geared towards college kids -- so mothers, buy this book for your sons and make it required reading.
