Today’s recommended book is “Flip the Script “ by Ed Orgeron .

“Flip the Script” is an instant Louisiana sports classic. Coach O describes his life experiences including triumphs, failures, and overcoming addiction culminating in LSU’s 2019 National Championship with arguably the greatest college football team ever.

My Very Own Nativity Story is a set just like the other book and puzzle sets we sell for 3+ year olds except instead of cars or trains it has Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus as the wooden toys so that you can build your own Nativity set and learn about the true meaning of Christmas. The 16 piece puzzle sets the stage for the scene with the box becoming the stable. There are cardboard wise men , a camel and sheep you can place along the way and a board book with the story of Christ's birth.

Day 282: The Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane

Chatting Books Online Day 282. Today's recommended book is "The Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane" by Sarah Addington.

This book was originally published in 1922. It is the story of the boy Santa Claus who lived with his parents on Pudding Lane. His father was a baker and they lived between the butcher and the candlestick maker. Since his father was a baker young Claus had quite a sweet tooth and grew to be quite pudgy causing his friends to tease him and say he walked like his Grandmother's gander. And his Grandmother did have quite a gander at that since his Grandmother was none other than Mother Goose. MIss Muffet, Mother Hubbard, Old King Cole , and Jack Spratt along with so many more of our nursery rhyme friends all have parts in the story explaining how Santa learned to make toys and enjoy Egg Nog and Christmas sweets and to have such a giving attitude.

This is one little book that wraps it all up in a big red nursery rhymed, Christmas themed bow. This hardcover book sells for $22.95 a copy.

Day 281 : Top Elf

Chatting Books Online Day 281. Today's recommended book is Top Elf by Caleb Zane Huett.

This is a Christmas novel aimed at the 8-12 year old set (but 53 year olds like it too).. I think of it as The Land of the Misfit Toys meets The Hunger Games. Basically Santa decides that he is ready to retire but he is not sure that is unfortunately named son Klaus Claus is the best choice as the next guy to wear the big red suit so he announces that any one at the North Pole: Claus or Elf can through their jingle bell topped cap in the ring for the Santa Trials and the winner will become Santa.

This paperback book is sure to delight . It is 279 pages and sells for $7.99 a copy.
