Kirkus Review:
SADIE, ORI, AND NUGGLES GO TO CAMP
Author: Jamie Korngold
Illustrator: Julie Fortenberry

Review Issue Date: June 15, 2014
Online Publish Date: May 28, 2014
Publisher:Kar-Ben


Experienced camper and older sister Sadie helps younger brother Ori get ready for his first year at sleep-away camp.
Sadie loves summer camp, a place where she feels at home with her Jewish friends, acting in plays, playing sports, singing around the campfire and enjoying ice cream sundaes. Seven-year-old Ori will attend this year and, while packing, becomes concerned  about taking Nuggles, the favorite stuffed animal he has slept with since birth. Though Sadie assures him that bringing Nuggles will be OK, Ori worries that “the kids will think I’m a baby.” After a trial night at home without Nuggles, Ori cannot sleep and decides to pack the stuffed zebra. Trepidation turns to a welcome surprise when he arrives at camp and sees his bunkmates, each cuddling or sitting with his own beloved “stuffy.” Korngold’s talent for taking stressful childhood moments and developing them into simple yet satisfying storylines continues to be in evidence in this fifth installment of her Sadie and Ori series. Though briefly alluding to the Jewish camping experience through one double-page spread highlighting a Shabbat candle lighting and the occasional yarmulke, this should serve most new and first-time campers well in providing a positive response to the anxiety that inevitably accompanies excitement at leaving home. Gentle, loosely defined paintings depict a middle-class home and woodsy camp.

Children will appreciate the sweet reassurance on display here. (Picture book. 6-8)

Hey! Here is the debate about ordering essays from writing companies. Essays are important part of studying process and writing them well equal the good mark and as a result good diploma. Of course you should not buy everything and be like the man for whome was given a fish instead of teaching him how to fish, but if you know that you can spend the time on smth more important, so you can buy papers at professional writing platforms. The most complicated task is to find qualified one.

I think it would be an ideal gift for my nieces. They're big fans of fantasy books (sometimes even being late to class because they keep reading simple fantasy comics that I bought for them) :)
