About the Author:


A creative mind trapped in a world of reality Jackie Sheats expresses herself in anyway that she can. From illustrating and writing to dancing like a mental patient while preparing dinner. Living in Maryland with her logic driven husband, their six cats, the dog, and a tank full of fish, Jackie spends her free time doing the backlog of housework. A movie junkie, video game addict, and lover of romance novels, she lives life under the idea that "if you don't know how to do something, go learn it!"

My review:

This is an adorable true coloring book. I say "true" because others that I have previously reviewed are books turned into coloring books. This one is ready to go with whatever tools you want to use.


All the pages are black and white and feature 1-3 cute characters ready for their Halloween debuts. There is even a familiar trio tucked into the pages but you know, my readers, you have to go get the coloring book to find out who. I am not going to spoil it!

I love this and it just adds to the fun of Halloween and I am all about that.


I give this one 5 pumpkins simply for its cuteness!


PS. She has several coloring books on the market. I may just have to go get me a few.

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys by Sherrill S. Cannon #childrensbooks #coloringbooks




I read the original version of this book back in 2016. My original review is below. I love that the author is turning some of her best sellers into coloring books for a newer generation. The story is the same and worth telling, but children can now color Peter and the cast of characters as they learn about what it means to be whiney. Some adults could learn this lesson too! Still 5 stars! ~Michelle, Reading Authors Network


------------Original review of the book----------
I think if there was one book to read to children about being whiney, this is it! I loved the re-hashed family story that the author put her own spin to. Apparently, this story had been told by her own mother many times over, the author simply put it to rhyme. She did that very well, I might add.

This story is meant to be a "moral" story making note of consequences for ones actions. I was totally immersed! Even being adult, I got it and kids would too.

The illustrations were top notch which is quite interesting since they were all in dark and muted colors for most of the book. This may seem odd for a children's book but actually it is quite purposeful in this case and worked well.

Every kid, everywhere, needs to read this book. 5 stars without a doubt!

Review: The Golden Rule Coloring Book by Sherrill S. Cannon #coloringbooks #childrensbooks


The Golden Rule Coloring book is the second version to the author's original book of the same name. This version was transferred into black and white making it effectively just what it is, a coloring book. The only exception to that is her books which are colorfully highlighted throughout. This is a signature for the author who's illustrator, Kalpart, has been with her from the beginning.

I read the original book but do not recall if I ever actually reviewed it so, I am thrilled to be getting a second chance. The book begins with two cartooned children looking for the "golden ruler". The look high and low for this ruler, even thinking that maybe it is actually a king!

Eventually, they find out the the Golden Rule is not a thing but an idea. An idea of how we would want to be treated and to treat other as such. I remember this as a child. Do you?

"If you want to make friends,

you must be polite

And Treat them the way

that you know you would like."...

~Sherrill S. Cannon

The author, poetically, raises this theme throughout the book by demonstrating how this can be accomplished. Kalpart's illustrations are paired perfectly and as with her other books is a great combination. This is certainly a feel good and great coloring book to get.

If you want more proof, the book has won a Book Excellence Award Gold Medal, eLit Gold, Reviewers Choice Silver, Children's Literary Classics Silver plus Seal of Approval, Mom's Choice Silver, Readers Favorite Finalist Award, IAN Book of the Year Finalist and Pinnacle Achievement Award.  

5 stars!
