Children's Book Review: Freddie Goes Fishing With Grandpa

Today's Children's Picture e-Book Review is Freddie Goes Fishing With Grandpa written by Dagbjort Asgeirsdottir and illustrated by Karl Johann Jonsson, for Ages 3-9.

My Ratings: 
Overall: 5.0 Stars
Cover: 5 Stars
Illustrations: 5 Stars
Story: 5 Stars

Freddie Goes Fishing With Grandpa is a book that has hit #1 Best Seller in Category on Amazon and it's about a little boy named Freddie who goes fishing in the cove with Grandpa in Iceland. When he accidentally falls in, Grandpa pulls him out and tells him a sea monster story to cheer him up.

The watercolor illustrations by Jonsson are full of color and details that reveal parts of traditional Icelandic culture as well as adding to the cozy story that makes me miss my own grandparents. I appreciate that Asgeirsdottir added a note at the beginning explaining that pet foxes are real, as is their tendency to hide things that are left out.

I highly recommend this children's picture e-book and can see it becoming a classic with my own children. I hope Asgeirsdottir adds a hardback version someday.

It's FREE today and tomorrow, you can download it here.

Our Third Best Seller!

Today the third book in our WantsToBe children's picture book series, The Alligator Who Wanted To Be A Dog, hit the #1 Best Seller list (within its category on Amazon)! 

From This...

When we get to add the gold #1 Best Seller badge, well, it feels good. Real good. 

To This!

THANK YOU to all of you who enjoy our books and have sent Snorse, Ellabee and Allidog to #1 Best Seller status. It is a compliment of the highest order!!

It's a GREAT feeling when we can change a cover from THIS:

No Best Seller Ribbon

To This (NOT the color of the title, although we changed that because the green is more readable, and we were changing the cover anyway). 

#1 Best Seller Ribbon!!!

We added a Very Special Ribbon to the cover. See it? #1 Bestseller in category (on Amazon). This just happened TODAY! And we couldn't be more thrilled. 

UPDATE: I liked the gold ribbon, but I like this gold medallion even better. My illustrator updated our two covers to look like this (see below).  I LOVE the change. And I think Carol Stevens is an amazing illustrator--I may have said that before, and I will say it lots more, I can tell.

The Snake Who Wanted To Be A Horse hits #1 Best Seller in category (on Amazon)

We just changed our cover from this:
