The Family Reader - Part 2
The Family Reader's review on Wenda the Wacky Wiggler is in. You can check out the full review here! Here is a little preview of what Rachael thought:
"Wenda's tale is inspiring for the young, and reminds those of us who aren't so young anymore, that the world through the eyes of a child can make us feel light and happy. Christopher Aslan has really poured his heart into this tale, and you feel that from the moment the story begins. If you don't walk away from this joyful tale with a smile on your face, you weren't paying attention, and you need to start over from the beginning!" - Rachael Towle

The Friendly Book Nook!
The Friendly Book Nook is an online community for book lovers everywhere. Their goal is to enrich the reading lives of everyone in the family! With a variety of different books reviewed everyday, it is definitely a great reference when you're looking for your next good read!
Read what the The Friendly Book Nook had to say about Wenda the Wacky Wiggler!
"Girls and boys who have trouble sitting still will especially enjoy this book. When the music is taken away and Wenda can no longer dance, she makes her own music in her head. Many children can relate to this. Children's bodies seem to need to MOVE. It is hard for many to sit still. This book takes that a step further and encourages children to be who they are and develop their talents. It encourages children to be joyful. I enjoyed this book and I know children will enjoy it also. I would recommend 'Wenda...' for preschoolers through third grade." - Sally
