Gorgeous Kid’s Wooden Bookcase by Tidy Books

Tidy BooksToday I would like to introduce you to the company called Tidy Books. This fabulous company sells various bookcases and book storage products that are geared towards children and with great pleasure I get to talk to you today about their wonderful products. I first want to say that the holidays are quickly approaching and all of the products that Tidy Books has to offer would make great holiday gifts for the children on your holiday shopping list.

Tidy Books sells a slim design wooden bookcase that is available in several different finishes, a forget-me-not shelving unit, a bunk bed buddy (great bookcase for bunk bed users), a wooden tidy box which is great for taking books and small toys on the go or for storing them in your living room, a baby buddy which is great for storage in a baby’s nursery and a 3 D wooden cabin puzzle.

My Review: I received the Tidy Books Bookcase in the white finish with the lowercase alphabet letters to review for all of you. I am the grandmother to a 2 1/2 yr. old little girl who spends a lot of time at my home so I was looking for a way to store all of her books, card games and puzzles and Tidy Books had the answer for me! This beautiful bookcase has 4 shelves at varying heights so you can really store any books your children might have. In addition, we found it fabulous for storing her puzzles and card games in too!

Product Information: The bookcase will hold up to 85 books of various shapes & sizes. The compact slim design takes up very little floor space so it will work in any room. It fixes safely and securely to any wall. The slim front panels on the each shelf keep books from tumbling out and they allow your child to see the front of their books so they can choose the book they want to read & look at. It is easy to assemble and took my hubby about 15 minutes (if that) to assemble it together. We got the ABC style and those front panels can be flipped around as your child grows so that they are plain. (the bookcase can age right along with them!). The bookcase has been finished in eco-friendly water based lacquer for a natural look. The overall size is: 45″ tall by 30″ wide by 3″ depth. Price $179.00.

Once my hubby had it assembled we loaded it up with the grand-wee-ones books, card games and puzzles and I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything fit into it! I love that I can place her tall puzzles and books on the top shelf and bottom shelf and her smaller books & puzzles on the 2 middle shelves. The ABC wooden letters are securely fixed to the front panels and brightly painted in primary colors and she loves to walk up to them and point to them & shouts out loud the letter! This is great at helping them learn their ABC’s too!

Now when she wants a book, card game or puzzle she can find the one that she wants quickly and easily and clean up…well…that is the extra bonus feature because now she doesn’t mind cleaning up and putting all of her things back inside her bookcase! yeah!!! I love that the entire bookcase only takes up 3″ of floor space which is fabulous for those living in small apartments, townhouses or condos where space is limited. I could even see these Tidy Book Bookcases being used in medical/dental office waiting rooms and other business places.

Overall Impression: We LOVE and I mean LOVE our new Tidy Books Bookcase! We give it 10 stars out of 10 stars! It was super easy to assemble and this is one quality piece of furniture that is pretty to look at and super functional! I have never seen a better made child’s bookcase and I am so happy we now have this Tidy Books Bookcase here in our own home! This would make a fabulous holiday gift!

Mr. Biggs in the City Children’s Book Book Review

Today I would like to introduce you to the children’s book author named Kevin Bloomfield who just had his first children’s book launched by Raven Tree Press called Mr. Biggs in the City. This hardcover children’s book is a story in English and in Spanish and has 33 beautiful pages. The ISBN: 978-1-936299-24-9 and it retails for $16.95.

About the Author: Kevin Bloomfield graduated from the Art Institutes International in 2001. He has been inventing & designing children’s toys for about 10 years. His toy career has taken him all over the world, including China & France, where he has had the chance to experience different cultures & interesting food. He currently lives near Los Angeles, CA. with is beautiful wife and two young daughters.

Book Synopsis: Mr. Biggs is a very curious Sasquatch who has huge feet & an even bigger heart. One day, when he climbs to the tippy top of the tallest tree in all of the forest, he spots a city. Join Mr. Biggs on his journey as he tries to shred on a skateboard, jam in a rock band, twirl in a ballet tutu and much more! Will the giant Mr. Biggs find out that he fits in the city…or is he just too big? Mr. Biggs in the City is a hilarious & heartwarming story for both the young and young at heart, with vividly wacky illustrations that will make you laugh out loud with every page turn.

Our Review: We received the Mr. Biggs in the City book from author Kevin Bloomfield in record shipping time! Kevin was gracious to even autograph the book for us and the book now belong to my 28 month old grand daughter and is in her library collection. The book starts out with an introduction to Mr. Biggs who is an over-sized Sasquatch who spots the city from a tree and ventures into the city to see if he can find some fun. He tries out various occupations and activities but isn’t having any fun. At the end of the book he is sitting down crying and a group of kids spot him and come over to play with him. They have a great time so Mr. Biggs decides he is now having fun in the city with the kids.

 

The book is absolutely beautiful! I love all of the colorful illustrations in this book that are cute and hilarious! The text is easy to read & understand and every child will understand the story as it is read to them or once they start to read it themselves. In the very back of the book is a little English to Spanish translation which is fun to view so that your kids can pick up a few words in Spanish or English. On each page of the book the text is in English and in Spanish so it’s a great bilingual book for kids. We absolutely love this book and it has quickly become one of the wee one’s favorite books! We give it a huge two thumbs up!
