Book Review…Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants of Gold by Mark Leiknes I read this with the book club Mini Lits that I run and we had so much fun! We actually lost track of time a few times while reading this one! The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won’t oversleep, they won’t be put off by a little rain, and they won’t accidentally burn down the village that hired them. All they have to do is find the Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to appease a furious dragon. Simple, right? It's a fun laugh out loud entertaining story! The characters are fun and quirky! The writing and the humor is great for the young readers! The illustrations are fun to look at and they add to the entertainment! It ends in a cliffhanger so we will definitely be looking out for the next book! Between the dragons and other creatures, the laugh out loud moments and the wonderful adventure the story is one that will have no trouble holding the kiddos attention! Thank you Rockstar Book Tours and Mark Leiknes for sharing this book with us! #QuestKidsandtheDragonPantsofGold #books #QuestKids #MarkLeiknes #booktours #read #kidslit #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksta #booksforkids #bookrecommendation #bookreview #bookish #bookishpost #iBooks #igreads #UnionSquareKids #readreadread (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIVw3DLt5u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Participating in more challenges again this month, including #FantasyIndiesSeptember, #TheMoonStardustandSkychallenge, and #WriterFriendsChallenge! Hi! I'm Ellie! When I'm not writing or illustrating, I'm working with the fairies on my handmade business, @acorn_tops! With An Impossible Dream (prequel to Be) & my short story for an upcoming free anthology, The Witching Hour, currently with betas, I'm focusing on Where the Heart Is (book 3), & my children's book, Busy Bee! The goal this month is to follow the joy! Busy Bee has really sparked that joy again and I'm excited to see where it takes me! I also have an upcoming event in early October, @paganpridela, so I'll be gearing up for that! Acrostic poems are not my forte, but let's try this out using the title of the children's book I'm currently illustrating...

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK This sweet little book is about Bunster during Easter holiday and how he finds all of his friends to celebrate. The short story is cute for little one to have someone read to them. The illustrations are by the author as well, which I think it fabulous. They are so colorful and fit the story well. Children will love looking at each page as the story is read to them. I encourage you to check out this cute little bunny book to read to the little one in your life. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.

“Mr Spam Gets a New Hat!” is a jubilant mix of surrealism and romance. Mr Spam lives in a charming cottage with his flying dog named Speck and a house full of helpful dishes, cutlery and appliances (all of which can sing and dance) He has many dreams in his heart but none as joyful as his dream of love for The Lady in the Polka Dot Dress (Dot for short) who lives next door. Dot loves Mr Spam too. But circumstances keep them apart. At least until Dot makes a magical painting of an all powerful Derby Hat of Hope which Mr Spam must wear and wield to defeat the powers of The Meanie Men who are bent on destroying their dream of happiness and romance. The story is a soufflé, a lighter than air concoction that is equal parts Rene Magritte, Buster Keaton, Salvador Dali and Singing in the Rain. Apparently the darker our reality gets the brighter my stories become. These last months I have produced 4 of the most daft and dreamy tales of my career.Covids and crazy Presidents, injustice and brutality are all around. My outrage has its own coping mechanisms. I I think, I argue, I try to reason, I protest, I vote and I create. I hope it helps. Happy weekend everyone. Here’s to fly dachshunds and Hats of Hope. And a tip of the hat to my colleague @joebluhm . . . #hopewriterlife #dogsofinstagram #illustration #animationart #kidslit #kidslitart #librariansofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxoZcglLsq/?igshid=qfd9kppw950u
