The Opposite Zoo: Written and Illustrated by Il Sung Na

Are you looking for a cute picture book for your young readers (ages 2 - 5)? If you are, you must check out the book: The Opposite Zoo written and illustrated by Il Sung Na. 

The readers will get to learn about opposites and they will do that  through the eyes of zoo animals on a night that the zoo is closed.



I won't give away all the pictures in this book and my camera really does them no justice. You must get your hands on a copy of this book (also available on ebook). The pictures are so colorful, they will keep your little one entranced for a time being. So many beautiful colors.  Even my 8 year old loved the beautiful colors. 

Each illustration also has a one word description, which describes the animal, and then on the opposite page, you will find, well, the opposite. 

Look at the colors . . . 



One of my favorites:

And another  . . .

It is a must have for your kids book shelf.  Perfect bedtime story.

The Young Messiah In Theaters This Weekend! Movie Ticket Giveaway


Did you go and see it this past weekend (Opened March 11)? Are you planning to see it?  From the title, you might get confused about what the movie is about.  Yes, the movie is about a 7 year old Jesus, but it is also about his family. The support that he received from Joseph and Mary, the type of parents they were. It is a whole new take on the story that tells us how important family is to us and how we need them with all the daily struggles we can go through. 

Have you ever had to make a difficult decision involving your child, that would be for their best interest? The struggles are real. The producers have given us a fresh take on this and also show that Mary and Joseph can have the same parenting struggles as we do today.
