Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to My Book Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Phebe and I am an avid reader of books. I have a lot of questions running in my head at times; and usually, to get an answer, I reach for a book... or two. I have books and magazines (the useful kind) in my bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and home office. My personal wish is to someday have a personal library with a bookshelf that spans a whole wall (or two) from floor to ceiling.


The reason I decided to start this blog is because I want to share the many good books that I read. Also, let me add (while it's on my mind) that most of the books I read are non-fiction. I'm an artist, so basically I don't really need the "entertainment" books; I am quite capable of imagining my own stories (if I must). Most of the books I read are self-help books- that is, they cover topics on the areas of my life where I need assistance. Don't misunderstand, I am not a mental case (Lol!). The self-help books I'm talking about are books that help me in personal areas, such as arts & crafts, Christian ministry and lifestyle, computers and technology, business (at-home), health & beauty and whatever else will make my life a little easier.


So, take the time to visit my blog often, to see what books I'm reading and/or recommending.


Happy Reading!

"Priddy Books"


The first time I saw the words "Priddy Books"- actually "www.priddybooks.com," I thought it was a neat little name that someone had come up with to sell cute little girly books- Ooh! That's so priddy!!!. The web address was on the back of  a package of ABC Wipe Clean Activity Flash Cards that I purchased from an outlet store for my three yr. old daughter. Being really impressed at how smooth and easy they were to erase (and how much she really enjoyed them!), I wondered who made them and if they sold anything else. I was also impressed at how big and bold the letters were on the cards- making it very easy for her to trace (and she's learning her letters quickly!) The cards are about 5"w x 7.5"h and are very sturdy.

When I Googled "priddybooks" I found that they are sold at Amazon.com (my favorite site); so, I visited the site for more info. Surprisingly, I found that there are OVER 200 PRIDDY PRODUCTS!

Another surprise- they all had the name "Roger Priddy" as the author, which explains the product description. The story of Roger Priddy was very impressive to me- a young man who left school at the age of 16, with one skill/talent to build on - ART. He continued to study art and eventually developed a whole slew of great books and learning products for preschoolers/kinder-gardeners. Mr. Priddy has 4 kids of his own, so he has hands-on experience with developing children.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Priddy Book products to any parent that wishes to teach their child(ren) the ABC's, Numbers, Writing, Reading, etc. at home. I don't think there's a better product. Trust me, I also purchased for my daughter a LeapFrog device, which is helpful as well; but, there's something about putting  marker to paper (or wipe-off cards), that really helps develop a child's memory, writing and motor skills.

It's very likely I will continue to buy Priddy products in the future. So far, I've purchased the Wipe Clean ABC Flash Cards, the 1,2,3 Flash Cards and the Tracing and Pen Control Workbook- all high quality products!
