A Fun Bedtime Story!
Another wonderful addition to your children’s library by talented author of children’s books, Sarah Mazor. This book will have children giggling at the many silly rhymes by Uncle Willy.
The illustrations are colorful and well done and will keep children engaged in each rhyme. At the end of the book the author supplies some other rhymes with questions that children can answer. This interactive story book is a creative way for children to use their imaginations while having fun.
I highly recommend this and all books by Sarah Mazor. Her books carry good family values that all parents will appreciate.

Another fine collection of stories - thanks to Silly Uncle Willy!
Author Sarah Mazor earned her degrees in business journalism and in psychology and now is an entrepreneur and a personal coach. The books Sarah publishes through MazorBooks intend to provide children and parents hours bonding time and fun ways to promote children's cognitive abilities and enhance their self-confidence and self-esteem. She is joined with illustrator Sergii Zavadsky whose images enhance Sarah’s story immensely.
Sarah opens her book (the first in the series of Bedtime Stories with Uncle Willy) with a fresh character – Aunt Lily has been our storyteller and now that plum roll falls to Uncle Willy. Fun stories that have enough parody and satire to hold the attention of the adult reader. Sarah’s rhyming is infectious, a certain way to capture children’s attention and comprehension.
What follows is the perfect combination of the silly ideas of ‘things doing funny things’ that make reading easy, memorable and fun. Examples: ‘Once upon a time a Texan cowboy hat had a lot of fun chasing an old cat’ and ’ Once upon a time a wooly pair of socks danced on tippy toes on a wooden box’ And she tops it off the fun with learning experiences that are completely successful.
Highly recommended not only for the learning at bedtime but also for the wonder of Sarah’s (and Sergii’s) talent!

Another adorable rhyming book from Sarah Mazor. This delightful collection of rhymes features clever characters like a microphone riding a bike, cottage cheese skiing, a banana riding a horse, and a house dressed in a red blouse. Young children will laugh at the nonsensical but funny anecdotes. Not only will they learn common objects, but they will learn what’s wrong with this picture.
The illustrations are beautifully done in vivid colors and apt expressions. Bonuses include a generous collection of riddles for readers to solve once they finish the story. Mazor provides four possible answers for each as well as extension activities for the riddles to provide additional learning.
This is the first book in what promises to be a wonderful series. This book is geared toward toddlers and preschoolers, but older readers will also love it

Another rhyming book by Sarah Mazor animates household items and animals in silly situations. All “stories” are told by a jovial Uncle Willy. The book also has riddles to solve that are easy for young rhymers. I liked the question after each riddle asking kids to name four more answers in the same category as their answer. It gets the kids (and adults) thinking.

Silly and Interactive
The book was super silly and random. Kids would love it and the illustrations were great! The riddles in the back along with the questions are a great tool to bring about interactive conversations with young children.

Entertaining and catches your attention
This book was very silly (in a good way) and entertaining. The rhymes and the pictures catch your attention, and the riddles were fun. My 8 year old read it to me.

Funny little cute book that will probably keep a child up rather than make them ready for bed. I like the rhyming.
