I love the message of this book!  Warren's mother tells him he will be important in his own way, and he is.  It's a great way to talk about differences and talents.  Warren the cat is unqiue and heroic.  Highly recommend this book for ages 6-8.

It pays to be different sometimes is a good message.  My granddaughters -- all cat lovers--loved this oh-so-sweet tale.  I recommend this book.

A great book for animal lovers of all ages.  It is educational as well as entertaining.  Once you start reading, you can't pt it down!  Extremely enjoyable.

Warren's latest adventure with the newest residents and neighbors of his backyard will resonate with anyone still searching for his or her "tribe".  Finding the people that you share things with is a challenge, but Warren takes that challenge and makes it look easy.  You don't have to be just like your friends, but if you have one thing in common with each other, you have the seed to make a friendship grow.  Find that one thing!

This is super cute and I like the new addition of Olivia.  The musical bit reminded me of the Little Honker books.  Perhaps a crossover is in the future!  The kits are funny.  Makes me wonder if Doc will make glasses for them as well as Olivia.

I read this with my little sister and loved the whole story, but as an athlete, I loved skunk soccer the most.  It was so fun and entertaining.

This companion guide for the sequel in the Glasses for Margie series, Margie Surprises Doc, allows your early reader more fun and an opportunity to learn with familiar animal friends!

Author Virginia K. White has been a classroom teacher for 40 years. Her love of students, and an appreciation for unique personalities and learning styles, inspired Virginia to individualize lessons to reach all students. Because all students do not learn in the same way, she believes it is important to recognize those differences early. 

In this book, she has attempted to do just that. There are several activities for young learners because finding what works is important! It is the hope of the author that there will be activities that will meet the needs of a variety of learners.

Can a cat play music at a school concert? 

Little Honker can and did. First he plays a duet and then the bells with the rest of the band. When the bells get loose, the kitty inside him takes over and the excitement begins as Little Honker chases them around the auditorium. Did Little Honker ruin the concert or make it the most memorable one ever?

White's whimsical, wandering Whiskered Wogler seems devoted to all things beginning with the letter W.  Kids will have a grand time following along as the Whiskered Wogler shares all the delightful foods that conform to his alliterative rules with them.  The book teaches kids alliteration and shows them how to have fun exploring language.  Gaspar Sabater's droll and funny Wogler fits the story perfectly.  This is both fun and educational, and it's most highly recommended..

-Five star review by Jack Magnus for Readers' Choice

​

A fun Book for Children -- As the title asked, "Would You Like a Whiskered Wogler?" my answer would have to be a resounding yes.  The alliterative text and colorful animated illustrations make this a fun book to share.  Any child would be entertained without realizing  that they are picking up some vocabulary along the way.  -Fred Sternburg

This book is great for beginner readers, but it also teaches children that's it okay to be exactly who they are.

During COVID, our family decided to tackle Depression Era recipes.  We called them anti-Depression.  These were recipes to cheer ourselves up.

How will you remember the year 2020?  From quarantine to wildfires, hurricanes, and political arguments, our world seemed to be shredding itself apart.  In an attempt to bring a bit of happiness into our lives, many people stirred up some happiness in their kitchens.  Family favorite recipes and memories of why those foods were enjoyed took hold.  One day when I was mixing  up now known as "Grandma Cookies" in my own kitchen to bring a bit of happiness into our home, the idea occurred to me that others might probably had favorites of their own and might like to share.  There was an overwhelmingly positive response to my request.  As a result, this book is a collection of family favorite recipes across the miles and years.
