My review:
Kitty Counts Her Blessings is the second children's book I have read by Kat E. Erikson. This story is written for children between the ages of 4-7, but I think younger children would also enjoy this short story.

My Review:
Henry the Goose Who Got to Love is written for children between the ages of 6-10, however, I think it would be better suited for children a bit older.

My Review:
The title of Daddy Loves You is what drew me to this book. I had just reviewed another book that featured a father/son combo. Whereas that book discussed the adventures that the father and son went on, Daddy Loves You is about the fathers that cannot be there for their children for some reason. It is rare to see books featuring fathers, but two back-to-back encourages me that people are starting to give Dads back the respect that is due them.
