Review: Tommy’s Clubhouse

BJU Press Book: Tommy's Clubhouse

Tommy's Clubhouse - Book #1 Fig Street Kids Series

Our youngest son is the same age as Tommy and his friends in the book Tommy’s Clubhouse by Sharon Hambrick, so I thought this would be a good book to read. We are very picky about the books that we give to our children to read, so I was concerned when I saw the cover of the book. On the front of ‘the clubhouse’ are the words “Boys are great, and girls are not” – in our house, words like that are not allowed.

Cautiously, I began to read. Tommy talks and behaves like a typical seven year old boy that is in the second grade. He lives with his sister, Penny; and of course, their dad and mom. His best friends are Howie and Zack. Everyday the “Boys Are Great Club” meets in Tommy’s backyard clubhouse.

I am not going to tell you what happens in the book. I will tell you that I read the complete book in about an hour. The more that I read, the more I was impressed by how Sharon Hambrick so clearly understands little boys and their thoughts and actions. Tommy is an obedient boy, that has been guided by parents that love him and have trained him well.

The three books that are available in this series are:

  1. Tommy’s Clubhouse – 199505
  2. Tommy’s Rocket – 204248
  3. Tommy’s Race – 211771

I look forward to buying the rest of the books in this series and reading them!

If you would like to order any or all of these books, please email your order to me at Order@HomesatHelper.com I will then contact you with payment options and to obtain your mailing address.

Review: Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn Book and DVD

FarmerDilloPaintsHisBarnPictureBook

Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn Book only

I recently purchased the book Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn written by Jesse Adams and illustrated by Julie Speer and Christopher Owen Davis. This is the first of three books to help preschool children learn basic skills in a colorful, fun way. It is a wonderful little book that shows how Farmer Dillo finds the perfect color to paint his new barn. He begins with the color blue, but soon discovers that he can not see his barn because it blends in with the blue sky. “So Farmer Dillo says, ‘Hmm. My barn cannot be blue. I will paint my barn…GREEN!’ So, he does.”

FarmerDilloPaintsHisBarnPictureBookBookAndDVD

Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn Book & DVD

The book is available by itself or with a DVD in the back. On the DVD the book is read clearly by a young girl. The opening menu allows the DVD to be played with words on screen or without words on the screen.  I found both ways to be easy to follow along in the book word for word. I found a small movie clip of the DVD that you can view if you have Quicktime on your computer.

Here is a list of the books in the series:

  • Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn Book – 228395
  • Farmer Dillo Paints His Barn Book and DVD – 254359
  • Farmer Dillo Counts His Chickens Book – 249342
  • Farmer Dillo Counts His Chickens Book and DVD – 257907
  • Farmer Dillo Shapes Things Up Book – 257865
  • Farmer Dillo 3-Book Set (no DVDs) – 268706

If you would like to order any or all of these books, please email your order to me at Order@HomesatHelper.com I will then contact you with payment options and to obtain your mailing address.

Extreme Rosetta Stone Sale

RosettaStoneHave you ever wanted to learn another language? Are you going to be traveling in a different country this summer? Are you looking to improve your ability to communicate with your neighbors? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Rosetta Stone.

Rosetta Stone is the premiere language learning software!  Elizabeth Landau at CNN Tech said “The gold standard of computer-based language learning seems to be Rosetta Stone. Here’s what I love: It forces you, like a real situation in a foreign country, to stretch the limits of your understanding but gives you feedback so that you learn and progress.”  She continues, “Instead of memorizing words, you confront pictures and learn to describe what’s going on. In the two months since I started the beginning Russian levels, I’ve been exposed to a variety of everyday vocabulary words through pictures and constant audio reinforcement. It is gratifying at the end of each unit to have a “milestone” activity in which you interact with the people in pictures, simulating the frustration you feel when you forget how to say something basic off-the-cuff in a new language.”

 

Audio Companion for Rosetta Stone

Audio Companion CD for Rosetta Stone

With this version you will receive an Application CD, Language CDs, Audio Companion CDs, a Users guide, a Headset with microphone, a Quick Start Application Card, and a Supplemental Materials CD. You will be able to have this installed on two computers and up to five users per each computer (for a total of ten people using this program at a time). This software is able to run on a PC or a MAC. The Audio Companion is a set of audio CDs that can be played on a CD player or downloaded onto a MP3 player. These will allow you to review what you have already learned while you are away from your computer.

The only drawback I have heard to using Rosetta Stone has been the price. But no more! This is an unprecedented sale for Rosetta Stone Language Sets. Effective immediately until August 11, 2011. Don’t forget ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING!
