THE CHRISTMAS BLANKET by Ed Damiano Book Tour Giveaway

 


My Review: 

Ed Damiano’s The Christmas Blanket is a sweet, charming and delightful little book to read for young readers. It was fun to follow EJ and his mom as they travel to see the Christmas tree lightning of the Rockefeller Center. During the adventure, EJ starts to learn more about other people in the city and realize the importance of the Christmas season. I loved this little boy’s heart and found him to be an inspiration to smaller readers and, also, a wonderful reminder for the adult ones, too. The end made my eyes tear up when I see what little EJ does to make it a most magical time of the year for someone else. Loved it!

I really enjoyed the illustrations throughout The Christmas Blanket created by the talented artist, Jeff Vernon. I loved how his pictures perfectly flow with the book and giving a visual of the story. 

I am giving The Christmas Blanket a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of four and ten years old and adores reading Christmas time stories. I will be looking for more by this Ed Damiano in the future to share with my children. This one would be a great addition to annual Christmas time reading. I plan on having keeping my copy to read over and over again every year. 

I received a hard cover copy of The Christmas Blanket from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

 THE RED FENCE by Ed Damiano Book Tour Giveaway

 


 My Review: 

The Red Fence is a wonderful book for young readers by Ed Damiano. I found it be a fun and entertaining book to read that has the Dr Seuss feel to it. I love that it teaches some wonderful life lessons that so many – young or old – could learn from. I thought this was a beautiful and inspiring tale that helps everyone learn to embrace themselves. I am sure many will enjoy reading it over and over again.

The Red Fence is illustrated by the talents of Jen Polk. The pictures perfectly follow the story and so vibrant and colorful that hard not to capture one’s eye. The younger readers will be captivated and be able to hold their attention and continue reading to find out what happens all the way to the end.

The Red Fence is getting a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for young readers who are between the ages of four and nine. I look forward to reading more books like this from Ed Damiano in the future. This would make a great gift and a wonderful addition to the local or school library and even in a little ones’ classroom for story time. My little one’s elementary school will be so excited when we donate our copy to them.
