Posted in Product Reviews
A homeschool author mailed me a copy of his book and asked if I'd be willing to look at it and share about it with you all so being one who always enjoys a good book, I was happy to oblige. So without further ado...

How many of you have dealt with a busy toddler that just kept getting into everything while you were trying to homeschool the older ones?

That's the storyline for this neat children's storybook, Baby Kong, written by Scott Stroud, homeschool father of 4.

Baby Kong just keeps going around getting into mischief around the house while Mom is trying to do lessons with the older children. He plays in the potty, draws in his brother's math book, and knocks over his sister's block castle. His mother is about to pull her hair oub, but finally they soothe the savage beast when they all decide to just sneak up on Baby Kong and have some fun tickling him.

The author comments at the end of the story that this story expresses how God has overcome our sin with His love and how sometimes only an abundance of love can break through to our energetic little ones!

I know for years I have heard many new homeschooling moms asking if there were any children's storybooks that portrayed homeschool families and Scott Stroud is here to provide just that!

Baby Kong is very well done with great illustrations and a lot of heart that we can all appreciate!I am so happy that someone is writing these types of books and look forward to reading more. Check out their website to preview or order the book yourself. www.homescoolkids.com.

Hi Nancy!

Thanks for the book review-- I'm always on the lookout for books that we, as a family, can relate too-- and Baby Kong...well, that IS our family! hehehee...

Also, I really needed your homeschool minute message this morning. Funny how God is so good to send us encouragement right IN THE MIDST of the craziness!!! And boy, is it crazy right at this very moment... ;-)

Have a fantastic weekend, my friend!

Love,
Marsha

Hi Nancy!...It's Pam, (aka pamasey @ homesteadblogger.com)....I just wanted to say how excited I was to read your book review today!! Thank you for taking the time to do this -- I too would love to write children's books about homeschooling families, and I was just thinking about this today before I came across your review (my first time on your blog, I might add.....) I am so encouraged to give this more thought and prayer to see if it's something that God has in His plans for me!

As for this book - it looks like fun! The link did not work for me, however I will make a note of it and plan to try it again.

Many blessings for many eggs!!

Sincerely,
Pam

I'm so glad that something I've shared has been able to encourage someone else. Pam, I hope you go for your dream of writing. We need more storybooks featuring homeschoolers!
Blessings,
