From the Thomas Nelson website:

"The second book in Tim McGraw’s My Little Girl series is a heartwarming story of a little girl’s selfless act of kindness.

Tim McGraw and songwriter Tom Douglas once again join forces to write another book about the precocious Katie and her dad. Katie has many talents, but she wonders which one will win her school’s talent show. With the help of Dad and her faithful dog Palio, and after several amusing mishaps, Katie finally chooses one talent that includes Palio. But at the talent show, she decides to drop out of the contest to help her friend, showing kindness is the best talent of all. Katie’s proud dad reassures her that she did the best thing and that while he loves many things about her, he loves her heart most of all."

My thoughts:

This book was a hit with all of my children right out of the box. Although, no one was more excited than Sweet E. She loved looking at the pictures of the little girl all dressed up. LOL :-D We have enjoyed reading this story many times. I have not had the pleasure of reading the first book in this series, but if it is anything like this one I am sure we would love it. (I do plan on finding a copy)

As we read this book and saw Katie try to figure out what to do for the talent show, we talked about the things that each of them (Big T, Sweet E, and Little E) can do. Sweet E loves to dance, Big T loves to cook, and Little E loves to try anything. It gave us the opportunity to talk about the gifts that God has given us and the fact that we may not yet realize all that he has given us.

This story also gave me the opportunity to talk with the children about acts of kindness. It's so easy to think of ourselves first, but to lay down what we want to help another person is one of the greatest things that we can do. This reminds me. We may need to read this story today as a reminder of helping out our brothers and sisters. LOL :-D

Thank you to Thomas Nelson for allowing me the opportunity to review this book. It has been a blessing and I would recommend it to others...especially those with little girls. :-D

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
