Review #2: Review by Astrid Lustulin for Readers’ Favorite
Review Rating: 5 Stars – Congratulations on your 5-star review!
My Little Angel Coloring Book by Sherrill S. Cannon is a wonderful children’s book. It tells the beautiful story of a little girl and Angela, her guardian angel, and allows young readers to color the many pictures. Angela and the young protagonist are always together, and we follow them from the moment the little girl wakes up, has breakfast and takes her vitamins, greets her mother, goes to school, and does everything a child of her age does. Let yourself be enchanted by this delightful story and share the events and feelings with the little girl and her guardian angel.
My Little Angel Coloring Book is a book that will delight all young readers who read it. A lovely protagonist, an adorable guardian angel, an enjoyable story, and many coloring pictures are the ingredients that make this book special. Sherrill S. Cannon’s story will amuse children a lot. She portrayed Angela in such a way as to make her charming from the first page, while the young protagonist is a character with whom young readers certainly have a lot in common. Any one of them will have wondered at one time or another what it means to have a guardian angel, and this book reveals that to them very well. I believe that if the children who read it begin to imagine what it is like to have their own Angela, they will become much happier. I recommend My Little Angel Coloring Book to all children who wish to have a special friend.
My Little Angel Coloring Book by Sherrill S. Cannon tells us that we all have a guardian angel looking out for us. The guardian angel is always there, even if we can’t see her or him. One little guardian angel named Angela sits on her girl’s shoulder all day, listening to her, helping her remember to do the right thing, making sure she’s safe and secure, and happy. Angela is a busy guardian angel as she helps her girl learn her lessons, remember her manners and always be polite, and take care when stranger danger is present. Life is not as easy as one would hope and it’s nice to know there’s a guardian angel on our shoulder to help us along our journey through life.
Sherrill S. Cannon’s coloring book story, My Little Angel Coloring Book, is a sweet story about a little girl and her guardian angel. Told in rhyming verse, the lyrical nature of the story will capture the attention of young readers as they learn, along with the little girl, some of the important things they must always do to stay safe and healthy at all times. The rhyming story appears on one page with a colorful background, while the facing page is a line drawing for young readers to color in themselves. Images of the author’s previous books are cleverly placed on some of the coloring pages. The plot is simple as it follows a little girl while she carries on with her daily journey through life with her special guardian angel perched on her shoulder. At the end of the book are some “Special Notes from Sherrill,” including questions about some of the important messages shared in the story. This is a clever, interactive book to teach young readers how to care for themselves and stay safe.
I love this 5-Star review provided by Reader Views, especially since it is written by a young reader (with additional comments from her mother). Thank you to Lydia (age 8) and her Mom..

5* a little angel on your shoulder
“My Little Angel” is the story of a girl who has a little angel, named Angela, who sits on her shoulder and helps her be safe and make good choices both when she’s at home and outside. Angela helps the girl do good things, plays with her, and makes her sneeze! Angela teaches the girl to help others by being nice to them and she teaches about God in heaven where she came from. Angela is so tiny that no-one can see her except the girl who she lives with, but the girl loves her a lot.
I liked reading the book because it talked about an angel and I like angels because they help me, too – my guardian angel. Angels are great because in real life they live in heaven with God, and I want to do that, too. I liked the part when it says that the girl may be lonely, but she’s never alone; that made me feel better for when I feel that way. I liked the colors on each page and how you can add your own colors on every other page with the coloring book part. I think that any kid will like this story because it rhymes, is easy to understand, and includes an activity with it!
Note from Mom: “My Little Angel” is a cute story of a girl with her little guardian angel on her shoulder, who teaches her right and wrong. I say cute because it includes carefree topics, such as being nice to others and it stays away from anything heavy and difficult; however, in all honesty, it can be more difficult than some people think to just be nice to others, unfortunately. It’s not until the last page of the book that God is mentioned, so I’m not sure if that was intentional and part of the author’s personal beliefs, or merely how it ended up at the end of the story. The rhyming in the story makes it simpler for little ones to understand and follow along. I would recommend it for all kids to read because of its worthwhile morals and values
Thanks to Owl & Pussycat Productions for this lovely review of Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book, winner of 4 Awards…
Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book Review
This coloring book version of the best-selling “whine-stopper” children’s story was designed for kids to enjoy reading the rhyming, as well as being able to illustrate their own version of Peter’s nocturnal adventure into the woods.
Peter’s mother warns him that if he doesn’t stop whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. His adventure continues as he later hops into the woods and finds lots of frightening Whimper-Whineymen! He discovers that the Whimper-Whineys are very ill-mannered and rude, and that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineland. He decides his mother was right. If only he can get back home!
According to a recent critique, “I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child! … Parents everywhere applaud you!”
Christine Cazes5.0 out of 5 stars READ-COLOR-LEARNReviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020Verified PurchaseDo you need a “Peter” in your house to stop your children from whining? Sherrill S. Cannon’s coloring book, “Peter and the Whimper-Whineys” is sure to solve the problem! This is a delightful lyrical story written in rhyme that truly engages young children. Peter, a small rabbit, resembles many children who want to be the boss and whine until they get their own way. This adorable award-winning story warns, “If you can’t stop that whining, I very much fear that the old Whimper-Whineys will look for you here.”
Children, like Peter, learn that they don’t want to live with the old Whimper-Whineys “in a land far away, where you’ll join them in whining and crying all day.” They will smile, laugh, and eventually agree that it would be unpleasant to live with “men with no manners” who whine and cry all day long.
As a reading specialist, mother, and grandmother, I highly recommend this book that teaches children the valuable skill of rhyming and reinforces the message that whining is undesirable. With the coloring book version of “Peter and the Whimper-Whineys,” children get the opportunity to visit a page for a longer period of time while they exercise their imagination and color the illustrations. In the end, they can take ownership of the book and personalize its message. This book is a “must” for every child’s library!
