Land of Window Shade – Review by Joree Williams

The Land of Window Shade

To my delight, into my mail box did hop a wondrous book by Melinda Worland. 

I have read all of her books and loved them all. It does a soul good
 to visit a magical, creative, hilarious world of the imagination. And Melinda
 does indeed take us on a beautifully conceived land of her mind.

Her happy-go-lucky fellows are Jitters, a clown, and Sniffles, a dog; great

 friends are they. Tonight they have an adventure most exciting, maybe scary,
 maybe funny, that is the best part of an adventure-you do not know what will
 happen to you or your friend.

They needed a password to get in-aren’t passwords wonderful? Like being in

 a spy adventure. But this is much more fun than a spy show. Yes, it is!

There is a carnival town ‘where giggles and laughs are always around; bright

 in color and loud in fun and baked with perfection by the morning sun.’ 

As you read to your child from this wonderful book; you will find morals and

 lessons of behavior. Such as the direction to “keep a smile on your face and
 an open mind. Everyone here is so very kind.”

The author must be just as kind as those in her land; however else could she

 instill such kindness in her words and prhases? 

The book is written extremely well; this is an author who feels that a

 children’s book is as important as a book for adults and her writing shows it.
 Please do yourself and your children or grandchildren a favor and buy this book today. 

 

Lands of Window Shade – review

Melinda Worland takes us in “The Land of Window Shade”. In this great book the author brings unto her readers a land full of games and cheers.
We see the characters all waiting with excitement to enter into this land. With Jitters and Sniffers standing by watching the children close their eyes. With a Password you can venture in to see Mighty the Clown and Mr. Stilts.
Even the animals are welcomed here. Sally the Elephant will certainly give you a big splash.
A book with rhymes and pictures too.The pictures are so cute and all down by Melinda..I am so impressed. A journey created just for you.
A great book to share with children and grandchildren. I enjoyed the reading.
