Welcome 

Today I have posted a review written for Linda Derkez, and David Fielding’s new book:

    One Large Peanut Butter Sandwich to Go

A new Release from Guardian Angel Publishing


This is an ever moving story about a boy named Scotty who likes to eat his food while walking around the house.  His Mother is easy going and would rather not say no to Scotty, but also is concerned about the crumbs he drops as he travels around with his food. 

Scotty’s Mom uses her imagination, to peak Scotty’s imagination. The two of them come to a solution based solely on Scotty’s decision through his imaginary experiences. In the end, Scotty finds the perfect place to eat his food.

Scotty imagines himself outside with his very large peanut butter sandwich.  He meets a mailman, a neighbor, a hairy dog, a grandma, a gentle man in a hat, and many other people who all have the same thing in common; they are hungry!

The pictures in this book are vividly enticing. They jump off the page and grab attention. I think any child would be thrilled to read these pages written by Linda Derkez, and gaze upon the artwork of David Fielding; over and over again. This book could very well become a favorite in a child’s library.

I give this book ***** for color, and ***** for story content.  The mother in this story found a way to heighten her child’s reasoning without being cross or negative; a lesson to be learned for sure.

This book was reviewed by Susan Hornbach, author of children’s literature. http://Bagfullofbooks4kids.blogspot.com  www.susanhornbach.com 

I hope you will leave a comment for Linda and David.
