Reviews for Hold on to Your Horses
A couple of weeks ago I contacted several book review blogs about Hold on to Your Horses. Mostly the responses were dead silence, but this week the book is featured in two lovely reviews.
Booking Mama
Booking Mama involved her son in the review process:
My four year old son absolutely loved the story and the pictures. In fact when I was reading the beginning of the book to him, he thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard — I’m talking big-time belly laughs! …the illustrations were incredibly colorful and very interesting to look at. Many of them were quite funny too — I think adults will adore the illustrations as much, if not more, than the children.
I’m really pleased because four-year olds are very honest about their opinions. I’m glad this one liked the book. Booking Mama says many other nice things as well. You can read the whole review over at Booking Mama.
The Friendly Book Nook
The Friendly Book Nook not only did a lovely review, but they offered me the chance to do a giveaway. To participate in the give away, you only need to comment on the review. To get three entries, you blog about the giveaway on your own blog and then leave a link in the comments. This format for a giveaway sounds like a wonderful idea for getting the word out. I may have to host one myself some day. The review is wonderful as well. The Friendly Book Nook has this to say about Hold on to Your Horses:
This is such an adorable book. As a teacher of 7 year old children I can definitely think of children who could benefit and relate to this book…the age range for this book is from 3 to 7. Children love horses and relating ideas to them is a great idea! I know some adults who could benefit from the theme of this book!
You can read the entire review and enter the give away over at The Friendly Book Nook.
My thanks go out to both review sites for such lovely reviews.
