Jessica Adams

Jessica D. Adams writes children's books about The Underground Toy Society that aim to teach children to love and appreciate what they have, think of others, and hopefully clean their rooms. Jessica's two daughters are the inspiration for the books, as well as co-illustrators for many of the books. Jessica also wrote a short time travel chapter book, Meeting Grandmom, which is a great story for kids as well as adults to remember or talk about lost loved ones and family history.

Jessica has visions of The Underground Toy Society traveling around the world, with many books being created to help teach children to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of those who may not have as much. While the goals of the books are to help kids want to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of others, there are no guarantees that kids will learn these lessons. These books are for entertainment purposes and individual results may vary.

• Meeting of the Mustangs on Jan. 15, 2016
  
  I enjoyed this story about the journey of a young black horse up to a strong black mustang. There were struggles along the way, but it was a heartwarming story and I liked the ending of the story. Thank you very much for writing this story and for giving me a coupon for the book for my honest review. I really enjoyed the book! Thanks!
  
• Sam Sam and Marzipan The Cubby House on Aug. 04, 2017
  
  My daughter and I enjoyed this book. It is a sweet book, literally! The story is full of imagination, adventure, and chocolate, which is my favorite! The illustrations are bright and nicely done. The story is short and would make a great bedtime story for young children, around ages 3-6. This book really brings out the kid in me thinking of all the candy. I think it could bring up great discussions with children on how it is fun to imagine eating all the yummy goodies, but it is only fun to imagine. Not to actually eat all the goodies. It could be a great way to bring up self control as kids get older when parents aren't around all the time to monitor what their kids are eating. I think all kids dream of eating lots and lots of candy, and this book could serve as a great learning opportunity to teach them that it's okay to dream about it, just not overdo it in real life.

  This is a very heartwarming story. I enjoyed the book very much. A little more editing of the book would make it perfect. Children would love this story!
  
• How I Cope with Multiple Sclerosis on Oct. 01, 2017
  
  This is a great read for anyone dealing with MS, as well as for therapists who treat those with MS to know what they go through. Thank you for sharing your experiences Angela and I wish all the best for you. I hope you will stay well and I hope you do not have any relapses. Stay strong and keep going! Jessica D.

• Charlotte Brown's Patchwork Quilt on Feb. 28, 2018
  
  I have worked in nursing homes for about 17 years so this story really holds true to what goes on with Alzheimer's disease. It was an interesting short story written well by the author.
  
• Don't Feed the Elephant on May 14, 2018
  
  I won this book in a Goodreads ebook giveaway. I was so glad I won so I had to read the book, even though my kids are a bit old for the book. I would say the book is best suited for preschool age children since it is geared toward learning the alphabet. Children will not realize there is an educational aspect of the book though, because they will be so excited to see the pictures and hear the crazy antics of the elephant. One thing I would have liked to see in the book is the food names written a little differently. The food words were written in all capital letters on the photos of each food object. I think it might have been better to make the first letters capital and the rest lower case, since the main idea is listing food words in alphabetical order. Maybe even highlight each first letter to make it more pronounced so children would associate it more with the alphabet and sequencing of the words. This is because without an adult pointing out the words, I doubt preschool children would realize the words are in alphabetical order. In any case, the story was funny, and the pictures were cute and fit very well with the story. It is definitely a fun way to teach children the alphabet without them realizing they are learning!

• Sophie Washington: The Snitch on April 22, 2019
  
  This is a very good book told from the perspective of a 5th grader about a bully at school. It is a great book to show kids how it is better to tell someone about a bully instead of letting it go to avoid being called a tattle tale. I would say this would be a great chapter book for kids around the ages of 3rd to 6th grades. I did find a few errors in the book, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with an update to the book. It didn't take away from the message of the book. Disclosure: I received a free coupon to download this book free and I am voluntarily sharing my review so parents know about this great book to shed some light on the bullying epidemic. Jessica D.

• Ten Zany Birds on April 25, 2019
  
  This is an excellent book for kids to learn about subtraction. The illustrations are bright and colorful and go along well with the text. The rhyming works very well in the story. Each page could also be used to check addition facts because when it states how many birds are left, it also states what colors each bird has and how many of each kind of bird are left. This book is an excellent resource for parents/guardians and teachers of preschoolers and for early childhood education. I downloaded this book during a free promotional period and I am voluntarily sharing my review so others know about this great book. Jessica D. Adams, Author
  
• Fruit Town on June 29, 2021
  
  This is a cute story with a unique way of solving a problem for the children of the town. The pictures were really cute of the kids all wearing their fruit shirts!
  
• That Mama is a Grouch on July 26, 2021
  
  Is Mama really a grouch? The book is narrated in rhyme by the little girl who often makes messes that mama trips over which causes her to yell and the girl to think that mama is a grouch. Mama and daughter sit down to talk to see each point of view. Can the little girl realize that her messes are dangerous and waking the baby frustrates mama? This is a good book to help kids realize that their messes are dangerous and waking the baby is not such a good idea or they'll get a grouchy mama. Recommended to kids around ages 3-7.
  
• Costly Lentils on March 01, 2023
  
  I enjoyed reading this short story about Esau and how he gave up his birthright with application questions and Bible study. There are also lentil recipes included and a preview to another book.
  
• Giggly Bear's Fun Trip in the Yellow Bus on March 08, 2023
  
  "Giggly Bear's Fun Trip in the Yellow Bus" is a fun way for young kids to learn about riding on a school bus for the first time. The pictures are cute and go along well with the short text on each page to keep the attention of young readers. There are also some phrases that are repeated for carryover of learning. This would be a great book for kids who are starting school before their first time on a bus so they can prepare to follow the rules for safety.
  
• Dinosaur Adventure: A Field Trip to Remember on March 08, 2023
  
  "Dinosaur Adventure: A Field Trip to Remember" is a fun book to read about a trip to the museum to see dinosaurs. There are highlighted words throughout the book for vocabulary expansion with definitions at the end of the book. The students all want to see the T-Rex but can't seem to find that exhibit, so they have to be patient. There are two references to "millions of years" by the tour guide and the teacher. Young earth creationists may find this part frustrating but it is very difficult to find books on dinosaurs that do not mention millions of years. Parents can redirect their children as needed regarding millions of years. There are also fun dinosaur facts at the end of the book. The pictures are done very well and go along great with the story.
  
• Walks in the Garden on March 08, 2023
  
  "Walks in the Garden" is a great book to introduce young children to the stories of the Bible in an engaging and fun way. The kitten in the story finds a new home and the dog of the house asks what her name is but the kitten does not know. The dog asks what the humans call her and the story goes on to tell of God's creation as recorded in Genesis and how Adams (man) was given the task of naming everything. It is a cute way to get kids excited about learning from the Bible. I wish I had this book when my kids were younger. The only thing was the text was small and hard to read on my screen.
  
• Floats Their Boat on March 08, 2023
  
  "Floats Their Boat" is the second book in the Back Yard Trio Bible Stories, and it's a great book to continue learning about God's Word. This story begins with it raining outside which reminds the animals of Noah's flood. The dog tells the story of Adam and Eve's children and how evil came into the world but how Seth's family was good. This story is great for opening up Bible study for families. I did not realize that there were animals for offering also aboard the boat so I looked up Bible passages. The story also mentioned that it did not rain before Noah's flood, but I looked that up as well and that is debatable, but it's still good for getting families into God's Word to study it and learn.
