CHRISTMAS STARS CHOSEN AS A FINALIST IN THE EPPIE AWARDS

Christmas Stars was chosen by KnowBetter.com as one of the best e-books for 2002. Here is what they had to say about this delightful e-book:
Rita Toews' Christmas Stars (BooksUnbound) isn't just a wonderful Christmas title to read with your child (and we can't stress enough that this is a book you SHOULD read with your child), it also features something you just can't do with a paper book. Roll your mouse over the evergreen tree in its pages and watch as it turns into a fully lit Christmas tree. This is a title that helps to show the potential ebooks have: well-written works that you can share with your family and that are interactive as well.

A Review by: Ayden Delacroix

CHRISTMAS STARS by Rita Y. Toews is an unforgettable reminder that nature and man live side by side, and our decisions affect all around us. Catherine learned nature sometimes needs a helping hand and was rewarded by getting to watch many shy creatures in her backyard. My little boys loved this story and we have spent many nights reading this story, and days setting out birdseed and hay for our creatures. Don't miss this beautiful, touching story.

Books Unbound E-Publishing Co. Reader Review--
Christmas Stars By Rita Y. Toews is a wonderful book that teaches as well as entertains. I read it from my laptop, and my grandchildren love it. We sit together, and I read while they click to turn the pages. The joy of reading to your children is enhanced with this wonderful new format. Even the youngest gets excited about using the mouse and the colorful illustrations.

This book is proof that the wonder of Christmas still exists in the hearts and minds of children of all ages (myself included). I highly recommend Christmas Stars to anyone with children or grandchildren.

CHRISTMAS STARS is a beautifully illustrated picture book (drawn by artist Jennifer Macaire) for children. This book is a great way to teach children how to use the mouse on the computer, as it is an interactive book, where the child has to turn the page by clicking the mouse. Toews's book is also interactive in the way that certain pictures come to life with animation! It's a tremendous book, put together in a tremendous way. Bravo, Rita!

My children's faces lit up as they turned from page to page, and when they came to the finished newly decorated Christmas tree...they shouted in delight! Toews's book is a wonderful tool to teach children love, caring, and responsibility.

Included in the back of the book, children can "Help Feed Catherine's Birds", and they can play a maze game and a crossword puzzle.

... This reviewer looks forward to more works by such a talented author.

Huntress Book Reviews:
Christmas Stars
Five Stars

Author Rita Toews warmed my heart with this touching story. She showed that by doing little acts of kindness, such as putting food out for the deer, the rewards would come back three-fold.

Illustrator Jennifer Macaire created lovely pictures for each page of the story. In addition, there is a picture of Catherine's trees that, when you touch them with your mouse, they light up!

This is a perfect way for parents and children to have some delightful time together. Children will beg, "Can we read it one more time?" Highly recommended!
