"Illustrated by professional animator Kenji Ono, the dynamic artwork makes the zodiac animals jump off the pages. It's great fun to look for all 12 animals appearing throughout the book... Max exudes energy and determination, two wonderful traits to carry into the Year of the Monkey to achieve your dreams." |
..".the eleventh in Oliver Chin's highly acclaimed Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series is another winner, combining the playfulness that makes the stories so appealing to young readers with some good role-modelling... the cover is enough to demonstrate that the illustrations are as energetic as the narrative... Children will love the energy of both the narrative and the animation-inspired pictures in The Year of the Monkey - and alongside the humour there is a depth to the story, as young readers observe how Max doesn't give up when he realises that Jianzi is harder than he first thought and also learns to save his mischief for playtime. The book is another great addition to the Tales of the Zodiac series, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable stand-alone story for this Year of the Monkey and beyond." |
"Ono's experience in 'moving pictures' is easily recognizable here, as Max's never-still energy can hardly be contained." |
"I can easily see this book on school library bookshelves as its subject matter is really quite universal. The book is filled with strong action verbs, some which may be new to youngsters. These wonderful examples convey how words, complemented by fun illustrations, can add to the overall reading experience even make reading aloud for parents enjoyable and entertaining." |
"I liked all of the colorful illustrations and the overall messages of teamwork, practice, courage, and determination. I think this book is a fun way to introduce children to the lunar new year. Be sure to point out the other animals in the Chinese zodiac that are shown throughout the book. We had fun searching for them on the different pages!" |
"The story is very well written... The bold, bright illustrations are a perfect match for the lively, action-packed story... The Year of the Monkey is a fun, colorful, adventurous story of friendship, spirit, and determination, and a great addition to the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series." |

I spied a couple of new restaurants that I wanted to try while I was and miserable, back to reality from my vacation. I made Ara go with me, and she let me decide what restaurant I wanted to try. And I decided this. They serve organic food, a new thing in the local restaurant scene. |
I ordered an appetizer of stuffed mushroom, then ordered the breakfast (or was it sunrise) burger, while Ara ordered a Japanese inspired burger with wasabi mayo and nori in the sandwich. |
was hungry by that time 🙂 It was really good. Fresh mushrooms, stuffed with Italian sausage and some cheese, coated in some heavenly glory, then topped served in a tomato sauce. That was really good. |
The burgers arrived along with some seasoned shoestring french fries. The burgers cost P490, and seriously, it wasn’t that great. Maybe we were paying for the organic price tag, and the ambiance and service, but really… Our food looked alike, except for the toppings and sauces. The food tastes different though, and I like Ara’s burger more than mine I think. More flavor. The egg addition was abysmal, though I love egg generally. |
We all know how good oats are. |
Oats in a jar, oats with nut butter, oat cookies, oats in granola, oats in smoothies and stovetop oats. |
This time, I wanted to fluff up my oats. I mean really puff those babies up and give them a big head like they deserve. |
Make your oatmeal on the stovetop as usual. I used part milk, water and honey vanilla flavored coffee creamer and McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. Beat 4 egg whites, cream of tartar and cinnamon in a medium bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. When there is just a little bit of liquid left in your oatmeal on the stovetop, fold in the beaten egg whites and continue to stir while cooking on medium low heat for 3-5 minutes. Keep stirring until oatmeal gets as thick as you like it. Spoon into a bowl and serve! |
Add sweetener or vanilla/almond extract if desired to flavor your fluffy oats! |
I used part water, part skim milk and part honey vanilla flavored coffee cream liquid as the base for my bowl of oats. |
Can you see the egg whites in the oats? Puffed it up alright! |
I should have drizzled on some nut butter or something, but this just tasted really good as is! |
I have OATMEAL fever. Do you? |
I love pomegranates on my oats! |
I know there are a ton of toppings to put on a bowl of oats, but if you could only choose 1 thing to put on your oatmeal bowl, what would it be? |

Wow! I never would’ve thought about egg whites in oatmeal. Sounds delicious! |
PB definitely my topping of choice. |
I like oats but really only eat them on the weekend when I have time to make it on the stovetop. I’ve heard about eggwhites in oatmeal but it kinda skeeves me out when I’ve heard about it. But now I see the visual and yours are gorgeous! |
I’m loving the fluff idea! |
Is the egg whites taste strong? Or can you not taste them? |
I didn’t really taste them! |
would have never thought of that! does it taste pretty different from regular oatmeal? |
So much better than regular oatmeal! |
How about this for a unique gift idea? These sozzled chocolate frogs each have a boozy cocktail centre. Treat a partner to a white Russian, a piña colada, a mojito and a strawberry daiquiri, all at the same time! |

A halter top like you've never seen before. Sheer poly material and denim serve as the base on top of which beading, floral and abstract details are built. This piece is one of a kind. |
It’s always such a nice getaway – not only do I enjoy her company and spending time with family, but there’s the accompanying “perk” that I’m not at home, facing a weekend “Gotta Get this Crap Done” list of house/car/clothing cleaning, repairs, bills, budgeting and other nasty-but-necessary aspects of growed-up life. |
Being here, far from the visual reminders of domestic responsibility, means that I can read, blog, read other blogs, work on my website, take on-line classes, create a photo book for our recent Burns Supper celebration and otherwise indulge myself in the “me” time I can rarely schedule when I’m at home. |
If we were having coffee, I’d ask what you’ve been watching on TV (should you watch TV) because I’ve been recently obsessed with Broadchurch. |
I’m a huge Dr. Who Fan and love David Tennant’s Doctor, but this Tennant is a dark and flawed character, driven by pain and failure – very different from his charming and powerful Time Lord. A mesmerizing plot and really detailed and wonderful character development, added to the gorgeous scenery of coastal Dorset, kept me riveted through Seasons 1 and 2. |
So far, they’ve succeeded with The Bletchley Circle, which I got half-way through last night. However, this time, I swear I’m going to ration myself and not serial watch it all this weekend. Does that happen to you? |
If we were having coffee, I’d ask you to grab your cup and come to the kitchen. Linda just made pancakes! Would you like some with blueberries or without? There’s butter and maple syrup – help yourself. |
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that we had an amazing time at our Burns Supper celebration last week and I’m looking forward both to blogging about it and to making another photo book for all the guests, like I did a few years ago. We’ve got so many awesome pictures and happy memories, it’s nice to gather them all in one place. |
Which reminds me, while I’m not on an agenda, I guess I kinda am! I need to get working on my book, and I’m feeling fairly inspired, so I’ll thank you for stopping by, remind you to schedule us again for next week and wish you a wonderful weekend full of all the things that make you happy! |
I’d also like to thank Nerd in the Brain – I’ve enjoyed her “If We Were Having Coffee” posts so much, it inspired me to brew up a pot and join you all here at #WeekendCoffeeShare. |

Jessica Jones was awwwesome. And Tennant was wildly creepy in that one. Have you watched Daredevil? I liked that one a lot as well, even though the constant physical battery made me a little uncomfortable. Way too realistic. |
Welcome and thanks so much for the coffee and pancakes (please tell Linda, thanks too)! A co-worker of mine loves Broadchurch. She has loaned me a DVD but I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. Sounds like I need to find time! Enjoy your weekend. |
It is great to meet you and your MIL. I don’t watch TV so I can’t comment on your shows. I was not addict to it as a child. It was available. |
I grew up without TV, I was in college when it started. As your livehood depends on it. I can understand watching it. |
I’d still probably prefer a good book! |
Welcome! Lovely to meet you – I love that photo of you with the huge smile. |
That’s my Mother-in-Law, Linda. She does have a lovely smile – thank you! |
My husband and I feel so lucky that our families get along so well – we’ve actually all gotten to be friends (ack – getting older must do that!) and we have such a great time vacationing and spending holidays together! It is a really wonderful thing and I’ve grown to be very grateful for it. |
I found myself surprisingly mesmerized by Broadchurch – it really is a very different David Tennant – but it’s such a fascinating psychological thriller and they take the time to develop the characters – it’s much more like a visual novel (if that makes sense) verses somewhat typical police dramas that count on sensationalism and violence to build an audience. |
It does move a little slowly, but it didn’t bother me. You should check out Bletchley Circle as well – I thought it such an original premise and so far, very enjoyable. |
I’ll definitely have to give both of those a try! I’m at home a lot in the daytime, and I like to have the TV on while I’m working just to keep me company. |
I saw Broadchurch too. Was good. Just as Bletchley Circle. I saw it twice as a matter of fact, once by myself and once with Kim. I have to tell you, it was better with Kim. Everything is better with someone. |
I’m only getting to these right now, nearly a week late. I spent a good chunk of last Sunday watching documentaries on PBS. Most of the time, it’s Star Trek: Enterprise for me, because Trip and T’Pol (I don’t really need any other reason, really, but #itswritingresearch, too!). |
Today is all about Welcome to Night Vale podcasts, because I promised my 11 year old I’d be ready to listen to the next one with her on Monday, but I was over 20 episodes behind, since I was a later adopter than she was. I’m closing that gap, though! |
I hope your visit and break from ‘growed-up’ things – and that the book creation was lovely. I enjoyed the coffee but skipped the pancakes, as I’m not a fan. |

The Amoyo Performing Arts Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation for children based in Hout Bay, Cape town, South Africa. |
Our MISSION is to uplift the communities of Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg, one child at a time, through an after-school and holiday programme offering high-quality dance, drama, music and performance classes. |
Our VISION is that each Amoyo child will continue into tertiary education after school, equipped not only with performing arts skills but also with the life skills, self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline to conquer life successfully. |
Our PHILOSOPHY is one of gratitude. Amoyo means “spirit of appreciation” (appreciating everything and everyone) and our unique approach to upskilling and empowering the children of Hout Bay is already having a huge impact, not only on the children but on their families and the broader community, too. |
Amoyo is so much more than just a performing arts training programme. Our classes are a platform to engage with our youth, to show them we care about them, about the choices they are making, that we are there to support and help them develop into successful, employable adults. The Amoyo journey aligns skill development with self-respect, respect for others, integrity, emotional intelligence and communication skills needed to survive in the fast paced professional world outside of their immediate environment of poverty, neglect, criminal and gang activity. |
It’s amazing what you’re doing at Amoyo. I look forward to visiting when I’m back in Cape Town soon. |
At AMOYO, we greatly appreciate any donation big or small, enabling us to continue to help enrich and support the lives of these children. |
Amoyo is an after school and weekend performing arts training platform (dance, acting, singing) working with over 150 impoverished children from the townships in Hout Bay. |
Mbuzeli is going to be our new fundraiser and has extensive experience in the NGO sector, specialising in resource development and organizational sustainability. |
He has gained and applied almost two decades of know-how in various settings in the non-profit space. Having studied Administration and Human Resources Management at the University of Fort Hare, he enrolled at the Damelin Correspondence College pursuing a Certificate in General Management. |
As a family man, he brings to Amoyo love for and commitment towards youth development. |
