		Send Me the Soap #1-The Emerald Isle Adventure received a Moonbeam Book Award. Come along with fourth grader, Katie Scott on an educational journey to Ireland with the help of some magic soap she receives in the mail. "Author Gretchen Schlesinger has written a creative new chapter book that will spark imagination and dreams in all children. Follow Katie through an ordinary day of school, dinner, and day dreams of Halloween, wondering when her dad will return home from the Navy, and imagining life with a little brother. Then in an instant Katie's world is turned upside down when she receives a mysterious package. This book is perfectly written for young children. The flow of the chapters are great and the descriptions of the surroundings leave you feeling like you are with Katie on her journey. Illustrator David Pietila gives us a few realistic drawings within the book that bring the adventure even closer to mind. Ms. Schlesinger has written a wonderful tale that any child could fall in love with."
