    Interview and Review for Jellybeans Morning Noon and Night by Maggie Pajak

    Come and join me as I talk with author Maggie Pajak on Stories From Unknown Authors about her book Jellybeans Morning, Noon and Night on http://blogtalkradio.com/storiesfromunknownauthors @ 7 pm EST today.


    Jellybeans Morning, Noon and Night
    Author Maggie Pajak

    http://www.amazon.com/Jellybeans-Morning-Night-Maggie-Pajak/dp/0984859802/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340281227&sr=1-1&keywords=maggie+pajak


    Hardcover: 50 pages

  • Publisher: Pinwheel Publishing LLC (December 1, 2011)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 0984859802
  • ISBN-13: 978-0984859801


    • Bio:
    Author Maggie Pajak is a mother of two and resides with her husband Chris in Glassboro, NJ. Professionally she is a marketing director for a magazine publishing company based in Philadelphia, PA. When her husband was deployed by the U.S. Army to Iraq in 2004, she was on full-time night-night story duty. It was during this time that she came up with this silly story about a boy and his love for jellybeans. After her husband came home and several years (and a son) later, the story evolved to include both her boys and her niece Alyssa, who she and her husband help raise.

    Summary:



    Jellybeans Morning, Noon and Night is about two boys who share a love for jellybeans. No matter what the flavor, they just love jellybeans all of them. If they had it their way, they would eat jellybeans for breakfast, jellybeans for lunch and jellybeans for dinner. And that s exactly what they plan to do! It is a brilliant plan, isn't it?





    Review:
    This story is an interesting version of teaching children that too much sweets can make you sick. This story is told in a simple and fun way without preaching to the reader about not eating too much sweets and any other kind of food that is bad for you. The author takes a different and more subtle approach where the children find out in their own way really without the mother saying anything at all, though her actions is what speaks the loudest. She goes along with their plan only to fulfill her own. Very clever! Children between the ages of 4-8 will adore the illustrations while learning a valuable lesson of moderation.

    I Am Flippish! is a wonderful story that speaks of diversity. Learning about ones ancestors, where they came from and why we all look the way we do because of them, is very important. It proves many things about us, but the one thing it also shows is that even though we may look different, we are all still connected. We are a country of diversity and it's something we should all be proud of. Leslie Ryan does a wonderful job of helping to answer the simple question of, "Why don't I look like you?" Children of all ages will enjoy this 38 page picture book.
