The Dan Poynter Global eBook Awards is one of the few contests that require the author to submit a book that must be evaluated before it is able to be a nominee. I am very happy to say that Mice & Spiders & Webs…Oh My! has now been officially accepted.
Two Awards for Mice and Spiders and Webs…Oh My!
Day Care Seal of Approval
I love it when I get “kid reviews” – and I have a big smile on my face and in my heart about this one! Thanks to Rita Vetsch for sharing…
“Mice & Spiders & Webs… Oh My!” is a delightful children’s book written by Author, Sherrill S. Cannon. My day-care children love all of Sherrill’s children’s books and greatly look forward to more and more of them. They cannot get enough of her rhyming, fun and meaningful stories. Each book has an individual lesson to be learned and this one does not disappoint.
This unique and fun story tells of a little girl who could use better listening skills. A skill that all children and adults could use a little more of. It gets the children thinking about their own listening skills and assumptions in life. It is written in a unique way that gets children thinking about their fears of mice and spiders, only to find out that the twist is that it actually means something totally different! Without ruining the ending of the book, it is really neat how Sherrill tied so many ideas into one single little book. The kids shrieked and recalled how they had seen a spider or that they have had a mouse in their house. We all laughed and had so much fun reading this well written and well plotted out story. It is very unique and I have never seen a story like this one before. When the kids finally found out what the real meaning behind the mice and spiders, they were in awe. It took a second for it to sink in and I could see the wheels turning while the light bulbs were going off. Then, they exclaimed “Yes, I get it!! Wow, that is neat!”
My daycare children really connected with this lovely story and also were delighted by colorful and fun illustrations created by Kalpart. Thank you Sherrill for yet another amazing and wonderful book!!
Thank you to Rita Kaye Vetsch, author of award-winning The Many Colors of Friendship!
I have to add another little note that Rita shared with me: “They LOVE LOVE LOVE it and say thanks so much for your kindness. They always look forward to your fun books that have really neat lessons to be learned. .. Keep those books coming, we can’t wait to read more!! PS: Gimme- Jimmy will always be our favorite… the kids clap when I bring that one out!!!

I am thrilled to share this 5-Star Review from Dellani Oakes, prolific popular author, for Mice & Spiders & Webs…Oh My!
Mice & Spiders & Webs….Oh, My! by Sherrill S. Cannon is a charming look at misunderstandings. Rosemary declares she’s no longer going to school because they are going to be getting a mouse. She’s also sure there will be spiders because the teacher mentioned a web. To calm her down, her mother agrees to talk to the teacher the next day. What follows is a humorous look at how children can misinterpret what we say, and the importance os clear communication.
As with all Sherrill Cannon’s books, the subject is treated with warmth and compassion. No one makes fun of Rosemary for her misunderstanding and fear. There is a non-judgmental humor to help reveal the message: Talking to our children is so important, as is doing our best to find out the truth, or fallacy, of every situation.
Mice & Spiders & Webs…. Oh, My! is very readable for an adult. It would be fun to share with a child over and over again.
The bright and colorful illustrations by Kalpart, will engage a child’s attention time and again.

Thank you, Dellani.

I love getting messages about comments from children about my books. A friend (and fellow-author) who runs a Day-Care commented:
5 Awards…How A Bully Learns to Share!
Their very favorite is Gimme Jimmy and are so obsessed with this hand growing…lol…
They wanted me to send you a message. It goes like this…. “Dear Awesomest Author, we love your books so much, especially Gimme Jimmy, when you have time, can you write your next book about Farm animals on a Dairy Farm?, we would really like that!!”… Love Rita’s daycare kiddos 🙂
(I had to tell them that my next book will be The Golden Rule, but perhaps they would like their names in the book?)
Gimme-Jimmy will be a part of the 2016 MultiCultural Children’s Book Day Event in January.
Thank you, Rita Kaye Vetsch, author of the fabulous award-winning book, The Many Colors of Friendship, for sharing!
