Book Cover

Sticky Icky Booger Bugs by Sherry Frith is a picture book which gives children a clear idea of what cystic fibrosis is. Based on a true life story on her son Kory, Sherry shares with her readers about how she and her son copes with this progressive disease.

Both Sherry’s sons, Kory and Kevin, were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Through the picture book she gives a clear explanation on how they cope with the disease and enjoy doing what other kids their age do. It is possible for kids with cystic fibrosis to live a near normal live and keep the disease under control.

Through illustrations the reader follows Kory through one day of his life from when he wakes up in the morning and have his medication till the time he falls asleep at night.

My thoughts

I found this book really informative and read it together with my 3 kids.The explanation given about cystic fibrosis together with the illustrations makes it easy for even a young child to understand. It is a good tool to help explain this disease to a child and get them to understand how it is possible for kids with cystic fibrosis to lead normal lives.
Having learned about the amount of medication that Kory had to take on a daily basis they are even more thankful that they are healthy and treasure their health even more now.

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids kids book, Loogie the Booger Genie, N.E. Castle

The book cover

Loogie the Booger Genie, A Very Nasty Cold by N.E. Castle is the 2nd book in the series about Loogie the Booger Genie.

In 14 chapters in the book we travel on an adventure with Charlie who has a genie who’s bottle was stuck in his nose. Loofie was a prince who had been imprisoned as a genie in a bottle by a wizard. To be freed from this curse he has to do good deeds and accumulate sufficient good deeds to be released from the curse.

In this installment Charlie comes down with a cold and it affects Loogie as he comes down with a cold too. Being a genie he could not take cold medicine like Charlie did for his cold to get better. Charlie goes all out to try to make Loogie feel better. He even makes a wish for the wizard Hendrick , who put the prince under such a curse, to appear so that he could brew up a concoction to make Loogie feel better.

Unfortunately this leads to a series of misheard wishes on the part of Loogie resulting in many magical creatures being invited from the magical world over to their world creating a bit of chaos which Charlie struggled to fix.

My thoughts

My 9yr old and I read the book and both of us loved it. I found it very entertaining and I couldn’t put down the book till I finished reading the whole book. It is certainly a storybook which I would recommend for kids to read.
