My Cape Cod Magic Review & Giveaway

I really enjoy finding great books to read to my children and I believe that I did just that! My Cape Cod Magic written by J Bean and Chris Palmer is a wonderfully written book. I really love the illustrations and they way it was written. Haley and Amberly really enjoyed the rhymes through out My Cape Cod Magic. I also really like that the portion of the proceeds goes to the Cape Cod Cultural Center for educational programs for children. 


Amberly really enjoyed all the beautiful illustrations. After I read it to her, she would spend quite a lot of time just flipping through My Cape Cod Magic looking at the pictures. She especially enjoyed the underwater picture. Haley loved listening to the story. 


I say this is a great bedtime story!


My Cape Cod Magic arose from a visit with the Palmers' granddaughter Emelia. The four-year-old expressed frustration at not being able to read. This gave Ms. Palmer an idea. "I had written the Little Cape Cod Witch magical adventures for middle-graders. It was clear Emelia loved beautiful pictures and rhyme and the rhythm of words. I think most kids do. I know I did. And I thought it would be helpful and fun to match an engaging poem with classic picture-postcard images that iconically captured the Cape. When I was learning to read, the images really pulled me in, and I wanted this book to do the same." The fact that her husband was a fourteenth-generation Cape Codder only strengthened her conviction in this project.

Scampi the Scallop Review & Giveaway

I was very pleased to review a new children's book called Scampi the Scallop by Mi-sA-lê Fransen.


Scampi the Scallop is a story about surviving. It is a great book for children to learn that you can survive when things get tough. It teaches children to recognize danger and when to stand up and fight for survival.


Haley and Amberly really loved the pictures throughout the book. It was very vivid and kept their attention. I highly recommend this book to parents!


I even had the pleasure to interview the author of Scampi the Scallop.

What inspired you to write this children's book?

I experienced this event at a time when I was already a granny.  It was the first time for me to see a scallop.  Also the first encounter that sea stars / starfish can be soooo big with so many arms.  I thoroughly enjoyed the sincere relieve and joy of the scallop when he safely could swam away with leaps and bounds.  I wanted to share this great experience SCAMPI THE SCALLOP with my granddaughter in Texas.

What inspired you to become a writer?

In my 'previous life' I lived in a desert country in Africa.  Now I roam the oceans with my Dutch husband in our sailboat MYLADY. Writing became my survival therapy to work through my fear and share my joy.

How would you describe this book?

SCAMPI THE SCALLOP is a survival story of a scallop when he was in a life threatening situation.  What would he do to escape?  The unasked question is does the child know what to do in a difficult situation?  In fact, what do we as grown-ups do when we are confronted with trouble, whether physical or emotional?

Where can my readers buy Scampi the Scallop?

The 20-page book has 10 gripping illustrations and are in most of the mojor bookstores.  Scampi the scallop can be bought at Tate Publishing.

One lucky winner is going to win their very own copy of Scampi the Scallop.
