REVIEW by LAWonder10:
      This account of Joseph Smith's First Vision is portrayed in a unique manner. Written as a graphic magazine form, the illustrations have simple captions signifying key people and key events. The illustrations of the tale builds until the main events are in full-page splendor.
​        Although written in a style elementary age youth will enjoy and find easy to read, it can be equally entertaining to older youth and adults. Thee illustrations are bright and colorful.
         The Book begins with an 
introduction and a Forward, then ends with an illustrated explanation, plus, Lucy Mach Smith's near death experience.
         My only negative thoughts are: The beginning following  the introduction was briefly confusing. I soon realized it wasn't the beginning of the story, yet. I felt it needed to begin more precisely. I felt the rest was done very well.
       I offer a Four and a Half Stars rating.
       This book was gifted me with no suggestion of a posuitive review. This is my honest review

  •    Let's spend an unforgettable week with Dad and Daughter!
  •        One day my mom told me with a gentle smile,
            "Sweetie, I won't be here for a while.
           "But she noticed that I was a little sad.
           "Guess what? Your babysitter will be your dad."

          So this story begins, full of humor and joyful experiences.
         Mom leaves for a week on a business trip. Little girl, 7 years old, will spend this week with dad. Dad planned every day.
           My dad said, "Don't worry, honey, I've planned all week."
           He closed the door when he kissed my mom on the cheek.

          But as soon as mom left, the plans changed…
          This will be the cutest Father’s Day Gift for The Father of The Little Girl      The time that a child spends with dad remains in his memory for life. These memories are priceless for the child and the dad. This book is based on real events and is perfect for dads of daughters.

    This rhyming story is full of humor, love, and beautiful illustrations.
    Every page of this book has unique illustrations by talented artist Nina Gvozdeva.
         In addition to the most wonderful poetry, you will repeat the days of the week with your child. Every day in this book is a whole story.
           In the meantime, dad will spend time with the daughter reading this book to her, mom will be able to relax.
           My dad is the best model and pizza baker.
           He is the funniest pirate and a dollhouse maker.
           I was the best little assistant my father ever had.
           And this was the best week ever, thanks to my dad.

REVIEW by LAWonder10:
​This is a comical story of a mother leaving her daughter in the care of the Dad for a week. What first sounded like a boring day, soon became rollicking fun!

​In this book of the antics of a father babysitting, "holds true" for many. Hopefully, the "more refined" fathers won't feel offended.
It is usually true, however, that mothers and fathers have very different concepts of "childcare". 

There were a few phrases which felt incomplete, but most of the rhyming tale was done very well.

The illustrations by Nina Gvozdeva, were equally comical, colorful, and well-done.

I offer a Four Stars rating.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review.
This is my honest review.

About Alex MayAlex May was born in 1983.
   When she was a little girl, she spent much time in her mother's bookstore. Even then, she fell in love with the fabulous world of books.
      When her daughter was born in 2012, she began to introduce her to this beautiful world. And in the evenings, they invented magical stories together. Over time, Alex began to write them. And beautiful books were born.
      All the stories she creates are inspired by events from the life of her child. Her books for children are full of meaning and humor. Her beautiful illustrations and magical stories not only stimulate the imaginations of young children but also inspire and educate them.
      "In communication with my daughter, I adhere to the principle of 'don't learn, but play'. When a doll teaches a teddy bear the alphabet, the child learns much faster," Alex laughs.
       Alex May is dedicated to helping parents teach their children high values and life lessons in an easy to understand manner.
