This is the theme song from Shimmer and Shine, of my girls and so many other childrens' favorite animated series which airs daily on Nickelodeon. And, each and every time this show comes on, my girls are quick to grab the remote and turn the volume up so that this theme song is blaring as they dance and move about the living singing this oh-so catchy theme song at the top of their lungs. I have found myself in the shower on a few occasions singing this song, as it is stuck in my head from earlier in the day. Do you ever find yourself singing a theme song from one of your child's favorite shows or cartoons? Argg, right!
So say my girls are big Shimmer and Shine fans is an understatement. They have watched this show since it first aired and continue to watch the new and repeat episodes daily. And, when we are out and about in the car, the girls are watching Shimmer and Shine on DVDs released by Nickelodeon, or bringing one of a handful Shimmer and Shine reading or coloring books to enjoy.
And, now that the holiday season is fast approaching...only 6 more weeks left until Christmas, my girls are getting into the holiday spirit with the help of two recent Shimmer and Shine holiday releases -- one is a coloring book with shiny stickers and another is a Golden Book story book that we have been enjoying at bedtime or during the day snuggled up under warm blankets on the couch. :-)
Here is more about these two new releases, if you weren't aware of them...

My Thoughts:
This is one coloring book I ended up having to quickly buy another copy of as the girls didn't want
to share, especially because of the oh so cool shiny stickers that are included in the book.
If you were to visit our house right now you would see our fridge and the girls' bedroom walls
covered with their completed coloring sheets from this coloring book. They even made a few to
send along to the grandparent so that they, too, could decorate their fridges with their Shimmer
and Shine artwork.
Out of all the character coloring books they have recently be sent or we have purchased, this one
is a favorite of theirs and one they will pick up and color a few pages from each day. They love it,
and I know your child will, too.
About this Book:
"Can Nickelodeon’s Shimmer and Shine save Christmas after they accidentally make Santa disappear? Children ages 3 to 7 will love finding out in this hardcover Big Golden Book featuring full-color illustrations."
Sep 13, 2016 | 32 Pages | 8-5/8 x 10-3/4 | 3-7 years | ISBN 9780399551215
My Thoughts:
I grew up reading Golden Books with my mom and am so happy I can continue the tradition with
my girls. This new holiday release featuring Shimmer and Shine is truly a treat. The illustrations
are festive and really bring the story to life, and the story itself is cute. Just like in the show, Leah
makes wishes that her two genies don't fully comprehend and they in turn grant those wishes,
thus making for a predicament to say the least. In this story, Santa is transported to an island
where it is warmer and it up to Shimmer and Shine to help rescue Santa so that he can deliver
the toys to all the boys and girls on Christmas Eve.
When we first read this book, my youngest, Bella, was on the edge of her seat on the couch. She
was so hoping for a happy ending as she didn't want to see the kids go without Christmas. And,
when she heard Shimmer and Shine talk about never getting a visit from Santa, she got sad. But, like
the show, the two genies work together and correct the wishes they made to make things right.
This is one holiday story you will want to share with that special Shimmer and Shine fan in your
life. It will have you both smiling not only at the story, but the illustrations. :-)
