Barefoot Books Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I absolutely love to read to my kids! Now that Bella is in Kindergarten she is learning some words and it is so exciting to watch her read to me! Reading is such a wonderful pastime for kids and adults! Books transform our world into what the writer wants us to imagine! All of my daycare children love to listen to stories as well! I was thrilled to get the chance to review Barefoot Books! Barefoot Books sent me a copy of Magic Train Ride to review! This book also came with a CD of music from the book. I was so happy to receive this book because my son, Sam is in LOVE with trains right now! He currently has to take one of his Thomas trains to bed with him at night, so this book was right up his alley! He enjoyed listening to the story and about all of the stops the Magic Train makes! I loved watching his face as he intently listened to the story. Reading to your child is such a great gift! It is such a bonding experience to cuddle up and share a story!

Climb aboard the magic train for an unforgettable journey. At each stop, the train comes across new and wonderful things to look at and talk about, in forests and jungles, and all the way to outer space. Book with CD editions include song sung by Sally Crabtree.

Ages 3 to 7 years
