Publication Date: March 14, 2018



About the Author
BCR Fegan is a multi-award-winning author who has written a number of fairy tales and fantasies for children and young adults.

Monsters, Goblins, Trolls, Zombies and More Scary Stuff
This story begins with a picture of two wide-eyed children standing in front of a huge magical castle. Welcome to the Hotel of Hoo. Mr. Nicholas Noo escorts the children to their room number 1. 

Mr. Noo encourages the children to explore the hotel. However, the children are warned to never look behind door 32. The curious children explore rooms number 2 - 31. They discover a wide array of colorful creatures, monsters and treasures.

Will the children look behind the forbidden door 32? What will they find there?

My Thoughts
What happens when you tell a child NOT to look at something?
The banned subject is much more appealing to a curious child. 

The children in this story are fearless explorers. They discover an entire world of delightful and frightful characters behind the doors of the Hotel of Hoo. Some of the discoveries are fun but some have them running for safety. There is a surprise behind each door!

This is a counting book in two different ways. The rooms are numbered from one to 32. When you go inside the room, you find a matching number of items to count. For example, when you open door number five, you find five dancing zombies. When you open door number 30, you find two old trolls who have a total of 30 spines protruding from their bodies.

I read a digital copy of this book on a 7" Kindle screen. The formatting is excellent. The details of the illustrations are captured in the digital edition and the rhyming text is an appropriate size for easy reading.

This book is designed to entertain and educate children. I am very impressed with the quality and presentation of this book. Children will read it over and over again...discovering new details in each reading.

Oh, what or who is behind door 32? Children will discover the answer to this question when they read the book.

MY RATING: 5 Stars Out of 5

FYI ~ I received a free digital copy of this book from Teleblade Press in exchange for a fair review.

Kindle Books for Kids: Mortimer's Sweet Retreat

This imaginative picture book offers children a sweet adventure that they will not soon forget. "Mortimer's Sweet Retreat", by Mandi Tillotson Williams, is a rhyming story that will entertain and delight young readers. 




About the Author
After experiencing a personal family tragedy-turned-miracle, Mandi Tillotson Williams has decided to pursue her lifelong dream of writing for children on top of having her own photography business and juggling three kids and their activities. She has also written "Moritmer's Book of What-Ifs (A Children's Rhyming Picture Book)".

Mortimer Crump's Sweet Adventure
Mortimer Crump was plucked off a stump by the flying Boo Woolly Weave. Mortimer was shaking with fear until the Boo Woolly Weave plunked him down in a land of "marshmallow bees, lollipop trees, and a lake full of jelly bean stew."

Mortimer loved this new magical place and he realized that the Boo Woolly Weave wanted to be his friend. When Mortimer decided to explore the inside of a gingerbread house, his new friend was kidnapped and carried off to another land. Mortimer had one day to find the Boo Woolly Weave or he would turn to sand! Even though Mortimer could be in danger, he wasted no time in going to rescue his friend.

Was this all a dream? The Boo Woolly left Mortimer a sweet souvenir of their magical adventure.

My Thoughts
I haven't read a children's book that offers such a fresh and original plot in quite some time. The author has a great imagination and the story is sweet in many different ways. There is suspense, adventure, drama, friendship and fun in this short children's ebook.

I viewed this book on my Kindle 3 (black-and-white pictures) and my Kindle for PC application (color pictures). The formatting is perfect for the Kindle with a full-screen illustration and several lines of text in each screen view. The text is placed above or below the images so it is easy to read. The pen drawings are colored in with crayon/colored pencils and are a great fit for the story. This book really NEEDS to be viewed in color because the illustrations are so delightful.

I highly recommend this ebook for children of all ages. I bet parents will enjoy it just as much as the kids. They don't get much better than this!

FYI ~ I ordered this ebook from Amazon.Com when it was offered as a free digital download. Please check the price before ordering.
