Deanie's review of Chloe the Calm and the Bedtime Blues by Julie Anne Penn and Darren Penn

 

"Chloe the Calm and the Bedtime Blues" is a cute story about a little  girl named Miko who has a ballet recital the next day, but she refuses to go to bed. She tells her imaginary superhero friend, Chloe, the reason why she doesn't want to sleep. Chloe thinks she'll miss all of the fun. Also, her friends can stay up late. And most of all, Chloe isn't feeling tired. 

Chloe helps Miko imagine good things and change her attitude about bedtime. Miko learns she could even dream about having a great recital. 

This is a good book for young children because they learn new skills. The illustratons are  bright and lovely. I found the print in the Kindle version hard to read in some places. Other than that, it has good suggestions and there are techniques you can use to help your child feel more positive about bedtime at the end of the book. I recommend it.

Saturday thoughts from

 

Good morning everyone. Hope your Saturday is fantastic. If you're a writer, you'll especially appreciate this comment from Mark Twain.

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
― Mark Twain, The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain

Thoughts for Saturday from William Faulkner

 

Good morning everyone. Wishing you a blessed day. Here's some advice for writers.

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

Writer's Wisdom for Monday

 

Good morning everyone. Here is some wisdom for those of us who love writing.

“A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Twenty-Four Conversations with Borges: Interviews by Roberto Alifano 1981-1983

Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
