Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.
I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.
Got a couple of cute ones for your young readers.

The Secret Formula
Chompy And The Munchy Bunch #1
by Nancy Beaule
Illustrated by A.Ilievski
Age Range: 4 – 8 years / Grades: P – 3
Genre: Children’s Adventure Book
My Review
I thought the idea of a carrot wanting super-powered eyesight was funny. When I was little, to get me to eat carrots, my mother told me they were good for my eyesight. Now a carrot that munches on carrots needs a secret formula. Kind of cute.
Crunchy, the carrot, has some fun friends too. Candybar likes to play pranks, along with his little sis, Cupcake. Weiner is a dog and likes everyone. Then there’s Salty, a true friend to Carrot. I’m just not sure which food group he comes from.
Carrot and his friends have to enter Doc Peppa’s creepy mansion to find the secret formula and it’s supposed to be haunted.
This is a scary little tale told in a fun, friendly way. The illustrations are cute, but I think they would have been better reading from the print book instead of my Kindle. The small screen doesn’t show much detail.
A cute story to share with your young ones.

Search For Hidden Treasure
Chompy And The Munchy Bunch #2
by Nancy Beaule
Illustrated by Lauren Goldstein
Age Range: 4 – 8 years / Grades: P – 3
Genre: Children’s Adventure Book
My Review
Chompy, the carrot, and his pal, Salty, are back in a other spooky adventure. Carrot has Doc Peppa’s secret formula for super-powered eyesight but when he makes a batch it doesn’t work. A note Salty found at the mansion mentions a treasure. Perhaps it’s what they need to make the formula work. So off they go again.
Meanwhile, Candybar reaches the mansion ahead of them and sets a trap. Let the games begin.
Young children enjoy scary stories and the author kept the plot fun without being to scary. Her choice of food groups for characters added to that fun.
Another fun chapter in the Chompy adventures. The cute illustrations and antics will delight young readers.
