A lovely story about a peacemaker!

 The cover drew me in and what a TREAT this story is. Why is the Mailman lonely? Turns out he is a listener and a peacemaker who is finding out the misunderstandings in the forest and penning letters between the animals for resolution. Then he delivers those letters to the disputing parties. What a concept! When the animals discover what is going on they celebrate the Mailman...now he will have even more letters to write and deliver...letters of encouragement, friendship and gratitude presumably. I LOVE THIS SO VERY MUCH! (Translated from Spanish, Madrid, Spain) *Hidden message: the givers need to be given to, too.

Winter's Simple Pleasures

 This book teaches the values and lessons of each season as seen in the life of an imaginary mouse. All of the hard work and effort of spring, summer, and fall culminate with the simple pleasures of winter and being inside when it is unwelcome outdoors. I am so glad I sought this book out by the author of the LITTLE BLUE TRUCK books. I read it as an ebook and I must admit, it was lovely in that format (on an iPad).

 

Beautiful celebration of love!

This beautiful book will warm your heart. It matches lovely pictures with the powerful lyrics of LOVE ME TENDER by Elvis Presley. (There is also an edition of this book in Spanish.) Priscilla Presley has authored an endnote and I like this sentence: "The lyrics to 'LOVE ME TENDER' are simple but timeless, and I hope they will resonate with people of every culture and race, and from every country."
