"Playtime Manners for Little Monkeys" by Susie Lee Jin: Children's Book Review

It is always a pleasure to have in my hands a book that a little child will hold and love. When the impressionable mind and heart of a child latches onto a colorful, fist sized treasure that he can carry around with him as he toddles throughout his unfolding life, and when that treasure can engage him with simple yet cute pictures, then we are ready to see a mind and heart embark on a learning adventure.

"Playtime Manners for Little Monkeys," text and illustrations by Susie Lee Jin, is a small board book that takes the monkeys through a playdate when they learn to play together nicely and to share. Though published by a Christian publishing house, there is no Scripture or Bible lesson involved in the book. Just a good, simple lesson in manners.

At roughly $5, you can afford to let you little one be a bit messy with this one and not worry if it gets tattered in the effort of learning.

I was provided a complimentary copy of Playtime Manners for Little Monkeys by Harvest House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Some of the people who have impacted me have been as ships that pass in the night. A brief encounter that none-the-less leaves a wake that lifts and floats you and somehow impacts you. Friends are not always forever. They are sometimes like ships in the night – passing briefly and casting a radiance on our being.--Vera

As each new chapter unfolds, we look at past days with wishful sighs longing for the sweetness of them. But each new dawn brings exciting adventures for the growing child to embrace as an adult and for the parent to embrace as one who has launched a wonderful ship on the sea of life.
When play is the work of children and imagination the fuel of discovery, the longings of a child's heart become fantastically real to them enabling them to engage in a world of wonder.
