Of course, mother is smart and goes along with them knowing full well that in the end, they will see the folly of eating jellybeans all day long. Smart mom. Smart kids. Happy ending.
The author, Maggie Pajak, as the wife of a deployed serviceman was full time story-teller to her boys while daddy was deployed. Therefore, she has the wonderful dedication in the front of the book "...to all of the soldiers who are not able to tuck their little ones into bed with a night-night story while serving their country and all of their little ones who wish that they could." Commendable! Much appreciated!
The use of strong, vibrant colors and intense black lines and the joyous, smug, delight expressed on the kids faces. The kids marching through the kitchen or shouting up the stairs just engage the reader or child fully in the story.

DISCLOSURE: I was provided a complimentary copy of Jellybeans Morning Noon & Night by the author in exchange for my honest review. Opinions expressed are solely my own.
My grandson loves "fruit snacks" and would eat them all day long if he could.

"Jellybeans Morning Noon & Night" depicts the times of the day in a way that children can identify with. The book is charming.

Of course I wish I could eat chocolate morning noon and night
ReplyDeleteLoved the trailer. It looks so cute. It was also nice to put a face with the author.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I would love chocolate all day long!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun story with bright, colorful illustrations.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteYes, my daughters would love to eat sweets morning noon and night and thanks to my husband, they were able to experience their first tummy ache from eating a very large bag of chocolate chip cookies since he gave them the bag instead of just giving them a couple of cookies thinking that they would self regulate.
ReplyDeleteI like how the flower illustrations come alive in the video.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall any of my 3 kids or 7 grandkids saying that.

I love jelly beans -so I make sure they are never in the house:)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my comment went through or not so I will post again.
ReplyDeleteI love jellybeans as long as they are sour and I could maybe eat them morning, noon at night sometimes.

My son, who is now 19 years old STILL loves to eat strawberry licorice!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was cute. I liked the accompanying music.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks so adorable! I'll tweet about the giveaway to my followers. Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit Blog Hop Vera! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway. My daughter asked what jelly beans were just yesterday when we read about them in another story.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to eat jellybeans 24/7. I LOVE the popcorn flavored ones!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer had my attention immediately when I saw the two boys names because my boys are also named Matthew and Andrew. I chuckled at the idea of popcorn jellybeans, very cute! The illustrated page of morning, noon & night will be easily understood by most children to help them understand the different times of the day.
ReplyDeleteIt is not my children that want to eat jellybeans morning, noon & night, it is me! Thankfully, my children are not very fond of sweets.
ReplyDeleteI could eat jelly beans every day. I love the Gimbal's jelly beans. They are much cheaper than Jelly Belly's and you can get them either online or at Walmart.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the book for the children who use our church library and give out jelly beans too.
Thanks for entering me in the giveaway.
The winner of "Jellybeans Morning Noon & Night" sent me this swee email:
ReplyDeleteA 'happy' note, I got the book today and thank you for the jellybeans and bracelets! I quickly read the story and posted a review on my blog: http://wrensthoughts.blogspot.com/2013/03/jellybeans-morning-noon-night-by-maggie.html and on Amazon.com (wfnren) and BN.com (wfnren) for you. I tried to post the review on booksamillion.com and cbd.com but could not find the book on there. Oh, and I posted it on my goodreads too!
I'm sure my grandson will love this book, I really like that the pages are full of bright colors.
Bless you,
Wendy
