Well, hello there!!! I'm so glad you stopped by! :) I bet you'd like to get my posts delivered right to your inbox, now wouldn't you? So why not sign up for Feedburner? Check it out, it's right there in my sidebar! Thanks!! :)
About the product/service: As part of the TOS Homeschool Crew I received a free copy of Andi's Pony Trouble by Susan Marlow from Kregel Publications so I could share it with my kids and let you know what they thought! :)
This book features Andi, who first made her debut as an older child in the Circle C Adventures series. Now younger kids can get to know Andi, too, through the Circle C Beginnings series. It's a chapter book, recommended for ages 6 to 8 but, in my humble opinion, is quite appropriate for kids a bit older. (I have been known to read and enjoy many of the kids' books around here!)
In the story, Andi sets out to prove to her family that she is old enough to own and take care of her very own horse. Can she convince her family? Will Andi get her own horse? You'll have to read it to find out! :)
What are the pros of this product? It's just a nice little book for young readers.
What's not to like? Drawing a blank here. :)
The Crazy Mom take: I knew right away who'd be my "Junior Reviewer" this time around. It had to be Bear because she loves horses and this book was right up her alley. Even though it is written for kids in the 6 to 8 year range, and she was 9 (almost 10) when she read it, she loved it! She would highly recommend it to others! :) (Oh, and she is literally begging me to get the rest of the books as I type!)
What's the bottom line? $4.99
I am going to give Andi's Pony Trouble 5 out of 5 smileys!!!

*The Smiley System:
I can't really recommend this product.
I doubt this product would be helpful to many people.
This is a good product, but isn't right for everyone.
Most homeschool moms will find this useful.
This is great, and I would recommend it to anyone!!!
Disclaimer!!! I reviewed this product because I am a member of The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Crew. I was given the product by the vendor to use and evaluate in my home so that I might share my insights with others. Other than receiving the product, which I kinda have to to be able to assess the product, I am not compensated for my reviews in any way. I am in no way obligated to give a positive review. I do try to point out negatives when I see them, though I am admittedly a pretty easy going gal! What you read are my honest assessments of the products I receive.
As with all products, you must do the research before buying. Please visit the the other crew members' blogs, the vendor websites, and any other review sites you might find before buying. I can't guarantee that a product will work for you. You must decide what will fit with your teaching style, and your child(ren)'s learning style(s). I do not judge anything other than the educational value of the products I review. I am not qualified to make judgements as to the safely of any product, and I make no guarantee that the products I review are safe for you, your family, or anyone else. I am simply giving my opinion; only you know what is best for you and your family.
Don't use your blow dryer while you sleep or take a bath. Don't read my reviews in the tub either, and please do not read them when you are asleep, though I do not guarantee that you won't fall asleep reading them!

THanks, crazy mom, for your snappy review and recommendation for Pony Trouble (Actually, thank your sweet DD for her thoughts . . . and . . . sure . . . give in. Buy her the rest. LOL And the older Andi series too (for ages 9-14).
ReplyDeleteGee, that was shameless, wasn't it?
I'm getting a little cocky, reading and enjoying all of the Crew reviews. Thanks for participating and taking time out to review the book.
Blessings,
Susan
P.S. You can always send your DD over to this blog (Andi's) to learn all about her, her family, and friends. Yep, Andi blogs. Sometimes. Well, not often.
