Freddi the Dog is a silly book about a loveable dog named Freddi. Freddi, according to the book, is ” the nicest, sweetest, most lovable, dog in the whole, entire world.” Unfortunately, Freddi sometimes gets into trouble. One night, the family goes out, leaving Freddi alone. Freddi, being the silly dog she is, begins eating everything in the house, mistaking it for food! She mistakes a phone for a hotdog, pillows for marshmallows, belts as licorice, and books as big pieces of bread! Now the house is destroyed, and Freddi is huge! When the family returns, Father is furious! They kick her out for the the night. Little did they know, Freddi was sick! When Mother and Father find out, they rush to go see Dr. Combover, the veterinarian. How does this goofy story end? Buy Freddi the Dog at their website, www.freddithedog.com for $10.00.

Raising a Father – Book Review
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.
My father was a great Dad, but his job required him to be away from home a lot. I’ll admit that as a kid, I often felt bad that he wasn’t at my band concerts or choir performances because he was out of town for his job. Now that I’m married and see how hard my husband works to provide for us, I understand my Dad a lot better. Still, sometimes I wish he had been home more and had spent more time with me.
In his book Raising a Father, Arjun Sen tells the story of how he left his corporate job to start a home-based business so he could spend more time with his daughter who was ten at the time. I’ve only seen his website and watched the short video announcing the book so I don’t know exactly what happened, but something happened on September 12, 2001 that showed Mr. Sen the error of his ways. I do know that a work friend told him “Arjun, in order to achieve bigger glories, one must make smaller sacrifices in life.”
Mr. Sen didn’t want his relationship with his daughter to become one of those sacrifices, so he quit his job, started a business he could do from home, and even made his daughter the manager. Raising a Father tells the story of how Raka Sen taught her dad to become a better father and a better person. This book would make a wonderful Holiday gift for any father of a daughter!

The Robot Book from Andrews McMeel Publishing is a unique way to introduce children to one of life’s most important lessons: It’s what’s on the inside that counts. With striking artwork, interactive components, and a poignant message, it’s impossible not to fall in love with The Robot Book. Perfect for year-round gift giving!
Book Description:
This robot has two eyes, two arms, and two legs, but what really makes him tick? Inside The Robot Book, Heather Brown answers that question with an interactive story that will enchant tinkerers of all ages. The working—and moving—gears, cogs, nuts, and bolts mounted on each beautifully illustrated spread will keep little fingers busy and imaginations engaged as the charming story reveals the secret behind what really makes the robot tick.
Kaitlyn and I love this book! We’ve gone through it again and again. It has parts that slide and turn, gears that move and flaps that open. And best of all, it has a great message that while parts are important, it’s the heart that really makes the robot (and for that matter, people) special. Here’s a cute video for the book:
