Hi Kids,

It is time for my weekly book review.  Like last week's book, this week's book is written and illustrated by the same person!   She is what is called an author/illustrator.   I can't wait to tell you all about it.  It is another wonderful book to read!

This week, my book review is on "I'm Not Sleepy" by author/illustrator Jane Chapman.

The book is about an owlet named Mo.   Do you know what an owlet is?  It is a baby owl.  I looked owlets up on line to share some fun facts with you.

Thank you to https://www.littlethings.com/facts-about-owl-babies/ for this great information!

Back to our book review!  The main character of the book is an owlet named Mo.   I wonder if Mo is a common character name for a children's book?  Is this interesting....do you remember last week's book review?  Its main character was Mo, who was a wild racoon.  Back to this week's story about Mo the owlet.

It was time for Mo to go to bed and his grandma was getting him all ready.  Mo wasn't tired.  Mo wanted to play.   He just wasn't sleepy.  How many of you want to play before bed?   Well, Mo wanted to play and play and play.  The last thing Mo wanted was to go to sleep.  His grandma put him to bed and he kept finding something that he needed.  Try as she might, Mo's grandma just couldn't get him to sleep.  He needed a "before bed" biscuit.  Then he needed to be tucked in.  No matter what his grandma did, Mo wanted to play.   I know when my parents put me to bed, I keep sneaking and getting up.  I sneak out to the kitchen to see if anyone is eating anything.  I sneak into the cat room to see if they left anything for me to eat.  I sneak into the living room to look for my toys.  It is fun not to go to bed on time don't you think!   

Mo's grandma was very smart and had a great plan.   She had a plan to help Mo become sleepy so he would not want to play before bed that night.   I can't tell you what she did and ruin the end of the story for you.    You'll enjoy it when you read the book.

Thank you for reading my book review.  I'll have a new one next week.

 As you can see from my picture, reading before bed made me very sleepy.  I am going to go to bed now - sweet dreams to all. 

If you have a book you'd like to recommend for me to read, I'd love for you to email me at  adogbling@gmail.com

Love and hugs, your friend, Bling

I just received a message that truly touches the heart.   This message is a result of a grandmother who gave her grandson my children's picture book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here, and following is what she shared with me.  I have to say, I could not be more excited....touched....Bling's messages through her book are exactly what was hoped for while I was writing it and creating the illustrations.   To purchase Bling's book - go to her website at adogbling.com Hi Dawn! I bought a autographed copy of your first book for my 3 year old grandson. His sweet Dad just sent me these two texts this evening and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.   My son loves the Bling Irish setter book you got him, we’ve read it by demand every night lol   He literally loves this book lol. He told me tonight that the books meaning to him is that if something is scary that we have to be brave in his own 3 year old way after we read it tonight. He was going through a little scared of the da

Bling's Book Review - Do Unto Otters, bu Laurie Keller

Hi Kids, I am going to start doing a weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there.   I wish we could read them all.  This week, my book review is on " Do Unto Otters " by author, Laurie Keller .  The book is fabulous.   Of course, the first thing I enjoyed was the cover and all the illustrations of ANIMALS.  I LOVE animals.  On the cover, Ms. Keller writes this book is, "A Book About Manners."   You know, learning great manners is one of those things that we can never stop learning about.  The older we get, the more we try, and the more we care about others, will all teach us to have the best manners possible.   Manners might not seem important now, but they are.  Believe me when I tell you this!!   The book starts out with Otters moving to the animals' neighborhood in the forest.  All the other animals are worried about the Otters.  The other animals were worried that the Otters would not have good manners.   The animals hoped the O

The kids get to meet Mr Beeps

Bling has a new pet, an English Budgie named Mr Beeps.  He is a character in her book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here.    We brought him into our family thinking how fun it would be to take him to book readings.  He is 3 months old and so very sweet. I did a book reading this morning and he was a huge hit.  Look for more photos of Mr. Beeps on Bling's Facebook page    Mr. Beeps went to the event as a surprise for the kids.  He was covered and they had no idea he was there.  When I started reading to the kids, I told them a pet from the book was with me,   After we were done reading the book, the kids could guess what character was there and then meet the surprise pet.  The kids had so much fun guessing.  We then had a wonderful interactive discussion about pets and pet care. If you would like to have a book reading at your school, children's program or book store, please contact us!   If you do not live in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, we are available for Zoom visits or part
