Personality!

Everyone is different. Everyone is made special in the eyes of God.

The same is true with children. All three of my children have totally different personalities.

My oldest has a strong outgoing personality, but at the same time, he desperately needs time alone to keep him happy and functioning. He loves to tell jokes but does not do well if he is the butt of someone else's joke. He puts on a strong front but is sometimes fragile inside. Everyone initially loves him though!

My middle child has a quiet, sweet, reserved personality. She loves to sing, dance, draw, and write. She is very much into anything that would be considered artsy. She is my girly girl. She likes lacy clothing, pastel colors, fancy materials and fabrics, jewelry, make up, nail polish, and perfectly combed silky shiny long hair. She is the peacemaker whether it be at school or at home. If she is arguing over a toy with her sister's nine times out of ten, she will just give the toy to her sister instead of continue fighting. She has learned that you can have fun without fighting and that these fights are worthless. She is good at being a mediator when other children are fighting as well.

Then comes my youngest child. My youngest child has a very dynamic personality! If anything is strange and unusual whether it be a toy, animal, movie, or anything, she will inevitably love it! For this reason, Summer is getting for Christmas this year Ripley's Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities!

I look forward to seeing her face when she opens up this gem full of all the eye-popping oddities that she can imagine. She is still building on her reading skills, but I know this book is really going to draw her in with its unique pictures, colors, and different ideas about art and lift. I'm sure we will have many nights spent reading all the different sections.

Summer has always loved animals. She almost always picks library books about animals. She loves to bring home full documentary style books to read together about all sorts of different animals.  The fact that this book has a whole section on animals is going to enthrall this child.

Here is a picture of the Table of Contents. As you can see the book has many sections for hours of entertainment. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to review this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

 

 
Here is one example of stories that you can read. Sorry the Monster Earthworm picture is kind of on the dark side.

So if you have a child that embraces the oddities of life like my child does, why not get them their own copy of this fabulous book and join us in our zany bedtime readings?
