Parragon Books Jan Book Box!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by PaRragon for the review free of charge.**

One of my favorite days of the month is when I come home to find a purple package waiting for me with a capital P on it because that means our book buddy box for the month has arrived. This post will go over last months (January) box of books and the adventures they hold.

Walk With Me written by Margaret Wise Brown;  This is such an adorable book when it comes to both the story and illustrations. It is a rhyming bedtime story created to encourage sweet dreams of nature and they managed to create quite a charming story setting. The story is just long enough that it will keep your child's attention while reading it to them and with the cute creatures you will spot on the pages of the book they won't want to take their eyes off of it either. My children and I highly enjoy this book and plan on keeping it in our collection for many years to come. The retail value on this book is $9.99 usd.

Disney Princess Wipe-clean Activity Book; This book is great for road trips, doctor office visits, etc because it allows your child to do different drawing and puzzle activities over and over again. One of my favorite activities in this book is the page that asks you to draw Mrs. Potts from Beauty & The Beast, once finished you wipe it clean and create a tea pot design of your own. The pen included with this book is attached to the book via a string which helps keep the pen with the book because what good is the book without the erasable pen? Most of the activities in this book are fairly simple so I would suggest getting this book for a child that is on the younger side (3-6). The retail value on this book is $9.99 usd.

Disney Tangled The Series "The Dreamer In Me" ; Out of all the books we received in this months box, this book is my daughters favorite. This activity journal is great for older children and it offers a ton of hands on activities such as doodle pages, thought inspiring question pages, sticker pages and more. You will get 128 pages packed full of fun plus there is a slide lock pocket at the back of the book to store stickers, pens, etc to use with your journal which is nice because you won't have to go hunt down a pen to use. The plastic cover will help keep your journal protected from spills or food smudges. I am almost a little jealous with how nice this journal is, I wish they offered an adult version. I personally like the size of the book because it makes it easy to carry around with you on trips. The retail value of this book is $12.99 usd.

Disney Princess Mini Collectors Tin; A fun filled tin featuring a sixty-four page activity book, 20+ stickers and a sticker scene to keep your little princess entertained and all of it comes in a little storage tin that can be reused for a number of things. This is a cute little tin that would make a good Easter basket or Christmas stocking stuffer for the Disney lover in your life. The tin only measures about 6" x 4" so it is great for traveling and will fit right into your purse or back pack. My kids thought the sticker scene was pretty neat because it allows you to use your imagination to create what ever you'd like.

All of these books can be purchased on Amazon and all for under $10.

PaRragon October Book Buddy Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by PaRragon for the review free of charge.**

October's Parragon Book Buddies box review is slightly late and I apologize for that! It arrived shortly before my wedding/honeymoon so I am just now getting to it but for those of you who are very excited for the upcoming Disney Pixar film Coco you are in for a treat! Octobers book buddy box features a number of fun and activity filled Coco books along with a special treat which is Olaf's Frozen Adventure. Each of the books included in the October PaRragon book buddy box can be purchased via Amazon, many of them are actually listed a bit cheaper than the suggested retail price on the back of the books. Ready to see what was in the October box? Everything is featured below:



Disney Pixar Friends Forever; Retail Value $4.99. This coloring and activity set features forty four pages of coloring sheets and activities plus four sheets of stickers perfect for ages 5-8. Instead of having an assortment of stickers to randomly put on folders and arms this book has four pages of activity stickers that have a specific spot in the book. The first twelve pages tell a story and are where you will place the interactive stickers, after that you will find coloring pages and games such as mazes. I like that the story book pages are in full color and have a different paper finish than the coloring pages because it makes it seem as though the stickers would be easy to remove if your child were to misplace it. This coloring book had enough of a variety of activity subjects to keep them entertained.

Disney Pixar Coco Mosaic Stickers By Numbers; Retail Value $7.99. This interactive book has twelve pages of mosaic stickers and twenty four pages of blank mosaic images that are each numbered. As a kid I always enjoyed the color by number activities so I knew this was something my kids would enjoy, it says it is recommended for kids ages 8-12 but I think this would be great for younger kids as well because it helps with their coordination and matching skills. Some of the pages are easy and only have a handful of places that need stickers and others are more intricate and will take more patience. I think this would be a great addition to any birthday or holiday gift bag for kids. It is full of color and isn't a book they will finish in a few minutes so it is worth the purchase.

                                        
                      

Disney Pixar Coco Sing Your Song; Retail Value $7.99. This coloring book is only one out of two in the book buddy box that did not come with stickers, instead it comes with sixty-four activity packed pages and two pop-out sugar skull masks. This book is suggested for ages 6-10 but would also be great even for kids up until 15/16 because there are a lot of thought provoking activities such as pages that ask you to draw your own adventures, write your own song and set future goals for yourself. This is another activity book in the set I received that will take quite a while to complete and is completely worth purchasing.

                        
                       

Disney Pixar Coco Always Remember; Retail Value $5.99. This fun coloring book doesn't include any stickers but it does come with a cute skull shaped crayon holder with four crayons and is my favorite book in the book buddy box. I really like that most of the coloring pages feature a black background because it will really help make the colors you put on the paper pop. I am actually working on coloring one of the pages myself and will post it on my instagram once I am done. This book is recommended for kids 6-10 and has a lot of fun coloring designs to fill in.

Olaf's Frozen Adventure; Retail Value $4.99. This cute winter themed coloring book features the very lovable Olaf, you will get to join him on his adventures with some of his Frozen friends. It has forty-eight coloring and activity pages, one page of stickers and four crayons for your enjoyment. This coloring book features page after page of adorable illustrations for you to color and fill in and has all of your favorite Frozen characters. This is a great book for all Frozen lovers and would make a great addition to any gift during the holidays.
