Le Center Community Education - Megan Monson-Conlon – Director, Mary Spartz – Retired First Grade Teacher, Le Center, MN
The Le Center Community Education offered classes for children to connect with Minnesota Authors. We asked Sherri to present to our K-2 children. The children enjoyed her Fire Safety and Prevention presentation. We had such a wonderful response in our community with Sherri as our guest Author that we asked her to come back to do two more presentations. Each grade presentation was unique and designed in an age appropriate manner. The 3rd and 4th grade classes learned the self-publishing and book making process. The 5th and 6th Destination-Imagination (formerly Odyssey of the Mind) class learned the "steps in writing" and did a writing project under Sherri's direction. The Le Center Community Education says thank you and a wonderful job!!

Sherri Goehring's school presentation was both exciting and fun for the children. They were able to actively participate during her story, and enjoyed learning about fire drills, as well as how her book was made.

I strongly believe that the valuable concepts presented in Sherri’s child development books should be in all libraries.  Sherri’s books are never in the library--they are always checked out.  The books prove to be very durable, well read, and used by the parents and children. Libraries can take advantage of the low cost of Sherri’s self publishing.  A new Minnesota author is exciting addition to libraries. Personally, my preschool grandchildren enjoyed Sherri’s “Fire Drill Practice” and “A Day”. The feedback results were excellent on both concepts. Her “Fire Drill Practice” book inspired discussion on fire safety, rehearsing safety plans and new ideas. My grandchildren stay at home with their mother. “A Day” gave them a glimpse into day care activities and projects they can do at home. Thank you for sharing so personally with so many children.

All children should learn fire prevention, safety and escape - E.D.I.T.H. (exit drills in the home) not only in October, but also on a continuous basis. When a fire is detected a person has less than 3 minutes to evacuate a burning building to survive. Hence fire prevention awareness and fire drill practices are essential to survival in a fire situation; therefore, I highly recommend Sherri’s Fire Drill Practice book, told in a story form, to schools, libraries, child care centers and homes, and parents to educate all ages of children on fire safety and survival.

I really enjoyed reading “The Children Learn About Stranger & Safety” book. I think it is excellent that her books are not only interesting, but also very informative for parents, schools, day cares, libraries etc. Seeing so many cases of violence against children, it is important that we inform children and try to prevent some of these situations. I like that she point out that strangers are anyone you don’t know, sometimes children think a stranger is someone who dresses all in black. Hopefully this book will be read to many children!

As a preschool center based teacher, I find Sherri’s books very helpful and interactive. Both books present the issues of  "Child Care" in a very non-threatening way, that is easily understood by children. The books were very educational and entertaining and we enjoyed reading them in our preschool classes.

It was with pleasure that I was able to review Sherri Goehring’s book entitled “A Day" from Luv-n-Hugs series. This book would enable a young child to have realistic insight into an actual day at day care or a day care center. I was pleased to see the book included activities, songs, and story time which is so important for the developing young reader. As a first grade teacher, I felt the social skills she stressed would be invaluable as a child enters a regular school setting. Mrs. Goehring’s book will no doubt be seen in the hands of many children.

I have previewed “A Day” and “Fire Drill Practice” at Luv-n-Hugs Day Care. I found the books to be good “matter-of-fact” presentations of information and ideas quite suitable for young children. The illustrations are fun and creative which enhance the storylines. The topics seem to be quite pertinent and appropriate for young children. I have worked in a limited capacity with Sherri on these projects. I know how hard she worked to maintain professionalism both in story character and in the research needed to document and make the songs and finger plays “user-friendly” and reproducible. Best of luck to Sherri with this exciting venture!

As a day care provider, I believe Sherri’s books are invaluable. Children of all ages enjoy them. I especially like to use them with new children entering my day care. The books give both parents and children an idea of what to expect so it is not a frightening experience. The books are entertaining and informative. Best of all, the children love them! They are full of practical ideas for new or established day cares. I whole-heartedly recommend them.

I have known Sherri for about 20 years. She has always been sort of a leader-teacher-entertainer!  She is also a very strong family member, children are the center of her home. Sherri has worked 10 years teaching children everything they need to know.  She has commendably reflected this teaching experience in her children’s books for all parents to use.  The fire safety rules, prevention tips, and STOP, DROP, AND ROLL, with excellent illustrations, in Sherri’s "Fire Drill Practice" book are great reminder’s for parents to keep teaching and reinforcing fire safety to our children!   Her books additionally provide ideas and projects to do using everyday household items eliminating more preschool expenses!

With having my own day care at home, Sherri’s books let my day care children know that other children are also doing the same things we are. The children relate to all the activities in Sherri’s books. Personally, my daughter loved to be able to color the pictures in her own book. We enjoy going over the fire drills that Sherri outlined in the "Fire Drill Practice" book. It’s hard to find books that actually show the kids what to do with illustrations like Sherri’s books do. Sherri’s books would make a great addition to any childs library! Bunnykins Day Care. WDennis@aol.com
