Welcome back friends!
Today, we're heading out on another adventure with The Children's Book Review as we take part in their AWARENESS TOUR featuring Tiki Time: It's My Turn. Now, before you say anything, you're not experiencing deja vu. I did feature this title once upon a time (last year, here's the post), but THIS celebration isn't just about the story...although I will be sharing my thoughts in a moment. THIS POST is about the fact that the story now has a READ ALONG feature to make it even more interactive for kiddos! That's right! You can join the read along fun over on YouTube, so check out my post, explore the other sites participating in the tour, ENTER THE GIVEAWAY, and then head over to the read along for more fun!

About the book...
Tiki is an honest, fun, and adventurous boy full of integrity. Lately, his behavior has been too rambunctious and he needs guidance. He meets a magical spirit who gives him the guidance he is looking for and much more. The spirit grants him magical powers and sends him on a quest to save the village of TikiTown from the evil King Lauia. Come join Tiki and his friends as they go on a magical time-traveling journey to save TikiTown. Tiki and his friends must find King Lauia, take back the sacred magical Toku Mask, and return the mask to Tiki Town to unfreeze the town. If Tiki doesn’t succeed, TikiTown will remain frozen forever…

Tiki is all the things he thinks and more, though a little slice of humble pie goes a long way. What I mean is that while confidence is grand, accepting the fact that we can't do it all on our own helps us grow....and that's a GOOD thing! Friendship builds strong bonds. Helping others realize the best in themselves not only lets them shine, but allows us to share the spotlight too. Teamwork makes the dream work, and this group of vastly talented friends are about to make the ultimate dream come true as they quest to save their village!
It was a great adventure with obstacles to overcome, challenges to conquer, and realizations to be made, but overall, it was a story that while infused with magic, it's not so otherworldly that kiddos won't relate. ON TOP OF THAT, we've now got that READ ALONG version I mentioned, and, by jove, they've really got something there! I checked it out, and, honestly guys, it added another unexpected element of fun to enjoy! A great pick for wee readers and beyond, and the read along part exposes new readers to the beauty of audiobooks too!
