Scout and Virgil were the O.K. Coral’s best cowhands ever. Scout could herd any fish – feisty, frisky, even ferocious. And Virgil could rope and tie one in six seconds flat. Until one day when trouble arrived. Big trouble. The kind that starts with “T” rhymes with “B” and stands for Bullface. Barrier Reef Bullface. Biggest, meanest, hungriest bull shark for miles around...

“This is definitely a unique combination of themes for us but I think the story works well. We have enjoyed it thoroughly and now must share it with you all. If you get a chance to hunt it down and check it out - do!” - Reading to Know (March 10, 2011)

“... a book that has "lots of laughs" written all over it! The story of a lassoing-octopus and a round-up'ing seahorse - the best cowhands ever!! You will love this story set in the O.K. Coral!!” - Biblio Reads (February 13, 2011)

KaeKae's Picks: Unique Monique

Unique Monique
By Maria Rousaki

Unique Monique is about a girl who didn't like her uniform. One day after school, Monique found a trunk in the attic. When she opened it, guess what she found. A big red hat! And she decided to wear it to school. Her teacher didn't like it and made her take it off. This part is so silly. The next morning everybody was wearing hats! Then the next morning, Monique was wearing glasses! Her teacher still didn't like it and made her take them off. Monique took her glasses off. Here comes another silly part. The next day, everybody was wearing glasses! Monique wanted to be different, but everything she did was banned by the principal. Monique got braces and she was finally unique.

My Usborne Books & More Open House

Recently I became an Usborne Books & More Consultant. I love this company! The training is wonderful! I'm not a sales person; but with their wonderful training, I know I can do this. And I just love their books! As a homeschooling mom, I use several of their books for our school. In the past I've tried selling other products with another company. Although I loved the product, I wasn't passionate about it. But I am passionate about books, learning, and my kids! I'm so excited about this opportunity! I had my Open House Home Show Tuesday night and got three Home Show bookings and an eshow booking. And I had a small turnout (bad night to have it I guess).
KaeKae gave a wonderful review of Unique Monique
.
I love these books and my kids have been absorbed by them since I got my kit. And I love that I can get my kids involved in my business. This is going to be a wonderful blessing for my family.

If you're interested in having your own home show and get a lot of free books, you can email me at Kerrie(at)KidtasticBooks(dot)com. I'm in South East Louisiana, but if you don't live near me, you can still do an eshow and everything is completely online. Again, just email me.

The Past Few Months

Homeschooling has been going pretty good. We've had a lot of delays and I'm finding it hard to get back on track. KaeKae is loveing it though. In fact, sometimes when I need to motivate her I'll threaten to send her to school! That always works!

Some of my goals:
  • Get back on a lesson plan. I've just been kind of winging it lately.
  • Do more projects. I did a few in the beginning and she loved it!
  • Have a start time and stick to it!


Here are a few pictures of some projects we've done:
