Blings Book Review - Penguin and Pinecone by Salina Yoon

By
Hi Friends,

It has been so hot outside lately - gosh!   We sure know it is summer time.  I thought it would be fun to review a book that takes place in the SNOW.

This book really touched my heart.  The star of the book is a young penguin named "Penguin."  Penguin was a bit lonely in the beginning of the story.  He came across something he hadn't seen before.   SHHHHH - it was a pine cone but Penguin didn't know what a pine cone was.   Penguin decided to play with his new "friend."   It was pretty cold outside and Penguin thought  Pinecone needed a scarf, so he made the Pinecone one.    Making the scarf shows me that Penguin wants to do things for others.   It is really important that we do things for others.   We need to be kind to everyone.   Okay, back to our story!

One day Penguin's grandfather told him that Pinecone should not live there, but should live far, far away.   As tough as this was to hear, Penguin knew he had to do the best thing he could for Pinecone.   Penguin had come to love PineCone and wanted the best for his friend.   Knowing he would be lonely, a brave Penguin chose to do the right thing and take Pinecone home to the forest.    


Time passed and Penguin worried about his friend.   He set out to make sure Pinecone was okay.   Penguin did find Pinecone!   I can't tell you everything and ruin it for you when you read this book.  I can tell you that LOVE grows.   You'll understand when you read the book.

Don't forget about my fan club "The Bling Fan Club".  If you do not belong to my fan club, you can sign up on line through  my website and you will receive my private newsletter.  Click on this link:  JOIN BLING'S FAN CLUB.   The fan club also has stickers for good readers.   The stickers have my picture on them.   I really like them and have put one in my favorite book.   Stickers are really fun. 

It is wonderful to hear about new books to read.  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, hugs and a wagging tail, your friend, Bling

Last week my book review was also a chicken story.  Here we are this week with another chicken story.   I love chickens.  It is that simple.  They are fun little pets and they give me eggs for my breakfast.  Yeah.   Eggs are yummy.   This week's book, Interrupting Chicken, is about a little red chicken that interrupts her Papa when he is reading her bed time stories.   I have 2 red chickens.  Really, it is true.  If you look closely, you can see them behind me in this photo.  The first one is Tribble and the one behind her is Dr. Pepper.   They are two of my most favorite chickens.   I have nine.   That's not counting my new chicks!   Let's move on to our book review and stop me...

Hi Friends, It is time for another weekly book review.   Writing a book review means I've read a book.  Every time I read a book, I have to bark bark bark with excitement.  Books are really special.  I am not sure if we talk enough about that.   Books let us explore places we may never visit in person.  On the flip side, books may tells us about a place that leads to us to visit there someday.   Books are so important.   Okay, on to our book! This week, my book review is on "Good Night Baddies" written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Juli Kangas. When you look at a book, do you ever wonder what made you want to read the book?   For me, it is all about pictures.  After all, isn't that what a children's picture book is all about?   With this week's book, "Good Night Baddies", I loved how real the illustrations looked.   I picked up the book and opened it to read the book flap...
