Disney Books for the Holidays
Disclosure: I received all of the books in this post in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
Reading is by far one of the best things you can do with your kids. Reading opens up a whole new world of ideas and thoughts. Coloring is also a way to spend time with your children when you possibly do not want to have them in front of the TV or video games.
Books are a wonderful gift for the holidays, birthdays or just because. I used to read to each of my kids every night before they went to bed. It was time-consuming at times but I felt good knowing that the time spent could help further their reading abilities. I also enjoyed that special time with them and will have those memories for years to come.
Now I enjoy reading to my grandchildren and look forward to many more stories to come.

Spring has come to Munchem Academy. The snow is melting, the roof is leaking, and Mr. Larimore is now in charge. Mattie is worried, though. Mr. Larimore is taking the whole ‘let’s help Headmaster Rooney get back on his feet’ thing seriously, and he’s whispering all sorts of suggestions to the highly suggestible Rooney.
Then there’s the matter of the school’s weather. It’s getting . . . strange. Mini-tornados sweep up out of nowhere. Rain pours inside. And there was that snowstorm-that yellow snowstorm-that lasted for two days.
There’s only one thing to do: save Mr. Larimore, and the world, from Mr. Larimore. It’s a tall order for a short kid, but Mattie has a plan. After all, what’s a little breaking and entering among friends?
