Day after lazy day, Jag plays happily by herself in the jungle, practicingher roar and climbing trees. She sees no reason for going toschool. Isabel, the old parrot, thinks Jag will love getting to knowother jaguars her age. But Jag has a secret, and she’s afraid thatwhen the other jaguars find out about it, they’ll laugh at her.Young schoolgoers will be inspired by Jag’s bravery in this storyabout facing your fears and standing up for your beliefs.Amazon.com Review
Award-winning country chanteuse Leann Rimes writes her first children's book Jag, the story of a young jaguar who dreads her first day of school but learns to meet her fears head-on. She isn't afraid of meeting new friends ("Who needs that stuff?"), but she is deeply afraid of the swimming lessons she knows are inevitable: "Nothing frightened Jag more than the river. She preferred solid ground, which didn't shift and slip under her paws." Isabel, the wise parrot, warns Jag that if she doesn't learn to swim, she'll have to stand up to the ridicule of her peers as well as her fears. Sure enough, the trouble starts the first day of school when the jaguar cub announces her nickname Jag. "Who's next? Ow the Owl?" someone cries. It only gets worse at the river the next day during swimming lessons. But when one young jaguar named Simon with completely black fur (no spots!) shows up for class and is ridiculed for his appearance, Jag has to decide whether to revel in being part of the group du jour or to be kind to the newcomer. In the end, she not only befriends Simon, she releases such a huge roar for a tiny jaguar that her classmates tremble in their fur. Kids who are afraid of school, or troubled by the ways in which they are challenged by the group, may be inspired by this winning story of a small cat who takes on peers and fears with a growl and not a whimper. Illustrator Richard Bernal creates a soft, friendly, Disneyesque jungle where butterflies yawn and kittenish jaguars walk upright. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson ... Read more

She Can Sing - And She CAN WRITE!!
I am a huge LeAnn Rimes fan - so this book was a must have for me.. And much to my surprise it was actually an extremely great buy!!..

The book has a wonderful story with incorporated morals!!.. Everyone is different - some more than others - however, we all have little talents of our own - we just have to find out what they are! - A great book for the developing of minds.. And morals..

Product Description
LeAnn Rimes first made waves when she was just 13 years-old with her debut single, "Blue". The youngest musician to win a Grammy and the first country artist to win the Grammy for Best New Artist, she's also won an American Music Award, three Academy of Country Music Awards, and 12 Billboard Music Awards. She's scored numerous hit singles, among them "One Way Ticket," "I Need You," "Nothin", "Bout Love Makes Sense," "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," "Can't Fight The Moonlight" which was a number one song in 11 countries, and "How Do I Live," reached number seven and spent thirty-four weeks in the UK chart. The song's simple message of peace and acceptance speaks to people from all walks of life: I will learn to let go what I cannot change. I will learn to forgive what I cannot change. I will learn to love what I cannot change. But I will change, I will change Whatever I, whenever I can. ... Read more

A very good songbook
This is a very good songbook.The reason that is gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the chords may be to hard for players with less experience.Even though the songbook gets a 4, the CD and LeAnn get a 5!

She is the BEST!

Ok, I'm Convinced!
I did not BUY the book, I did not READ the book, I am not a FAN of 'what's-her-name', and I think she is a spoiled rotten, rich slob!

I'm Convinced!!
Ok, you guys convinced me.I'm not going to BUY the book, I'm not going to READ the book, I'm not a FAN of what's her name and I agree.....She's a spoiled, rich, SNOB!

Have to agree with Jamie
I have to agree with Jamie on this review.The book was well-written, but I learned some horrible things about LeAnn.I was on the border of fan/disliker, and this book pushed me to the disliker side.LeAnn talks about ex-classmates as if they were all jealous of her.While some of those ex-classmates have stated that they hated her because she was so snobby about being famous.This book just really makes me feel disgusted that I ever liked LeAnn.

leAnn Rimes
I did not read the book. But,how would a person know if LeAnn, was teesed as a child or not.They would not know if they were not their. I think she was teassed as a kid, and it is too bad. I think any one that thinks it isok to teaase someone, is wrong, and they need to get a life. if someonedose not like what I put then email me at amlines@yahoo.com Amanda Lines. Abig LeAnn Rimes Fan

Sorry, Jamie
LEANN IS THE BEST. This book is very well writtenand informative. The things said about her classmates is all true. I was there and people were so jealous of her.Sorry, Jamie. You must be one of the jealous ones. Twothumbs up for a great book. ... Read more

Dream Come True The LeAnn Rimes story
This is a wonderful book. I love to read it over and over again. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes LeAnn Rimes. You will learn alot about her, her life, and how and why she got into music. I rate this book 5stars.

A_great_story!
Simply_the_greatest!,it_made_me_cry.If_you_are_a_ true_Rimes'_liker,Read_this_story!

It Was Great!
I thought it was good...it tells the truth about LeAnn's life.It has a lot of stuff about when she was little. It goes into detail.

I likes this book because it was interesting and fun.
The book was about LeAnn Rimes, a singer.She was the youngest ever nominated for best new artist.She could sing when she was 18 monthes old, where she went on to talent shows, opry stages, and sports stadiums. LeAnn Rimes has always liked to sing and likes to be with her family. LeAnn always got special attention because she was an only child.

Excellent topic, but poor research done by author.
As a great fan of LeAnn Rimes, I have to say I found this biography more than a little disappointing.I discovered absolutely no information on her that couldn't be found in the most superficial interviews she has given.Since reading it I have also learned, from a interview with LeAnn herself, that not only was she not consulted in the writing of this book, the author did not even bother to interview her!It was based primarily on past interviews conducted by other writers.I you have absolutely no knowlege of LeAnn you might enjoy this book, otherwise I recommend passing it over. ...

LeAnn Rimes Book Review
This book is about the life of LeAnn Rimes, who is a country singer. She went to the top of the Grammy Awards in just 10 years!Leann began to sing when she was 5 years old. LeAnn seemed older than she was. She wanted to be a famous country singer. LeAnn got to be a famous singer because of her families' help.Her hobbies that she enjoys are going to concerts, softball, shopping, and horseback riding. She had trouble with singing better than other singers. Even though she did not win the Country Music Association Award for single of the year, on her song "Blue", nor did she win the Horizon Award, people still noticed LeAnn's performance. Soon afterward, she was recognized for her talent. LeAnn Rimes kept on singing and did not give up.She enjoyed it, so she kept on performing. LeAnn feels proud when she gets an award. I would recommend this book to other people. This would be a great book if you like Biographies.Plus, I think you would like her songs if you like country music. ... Read more

These kind of books are often thrown together and rushed, but the author brings a rare sensitivity and excitement to her work. A must for any Leeann fan, but also for anyone who appreciates intelligent, funny and ultimatelylife-affirming writing.

LeAnn Rimes Writing A Book?
Okay.I knew she could sing but, writing a book??It's great I think!!This book was shortly after being released, turned into a movie on the life of a girl who always dreamed of singing at the Grand Ole Opry.Her dreams come true when one of the acts cancells and can't sing.The next in like is LeAnn.I've seen the movie but I haven't read the book yet.If the book is just like the movie, I'm sure it's a great book!!I loved the movie and while watching the movie, I wrote down the songs that were sung and mentioned in the movie, and made a soundtrack which can be purchased by email me at Godschild4ever2001@yahoo.com!It's the best album you can get if you like the movie, LeAnn, and her music!!

holiday in your heart
I think this book was a excellent book.Anyone who likes country music or leann rimes should read the book.The movie was also a very good movie. Both are very touching and will bring out the holiday in your heart.

Holiday in your Heart By LeAnn Rimes and Tom Carter.
Holiday in you Heart is a great book. I only wish that I could have saw the movie.I read the book every year around the Christmas Season. It is a great book. I think all LeAnn Rimes fans should get the book.

Read the Excting Story of LeAnn Rimes!!
Have you ever read a book that actually made you cry?I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in country music or likes to hear about other people's life stories.I really liked HOLIDAY IN YOUR HEART mainly because the authors described every event in very good detail, and made me more and more interested in reading the book. ...

Embarrassingly bad story
Received this story as a gift.Badly written, inappropriate and annoying.It represents 10 minutes me and my 3.5 year old son will never recover.Don't buy it unless you are looking to extract information from a native English-speaker upon whom water boarding has already failed.

Just about the worst children's book I've read to my child
I'm curious as to what credentials Rimes has for authoring children's books? I checked out "Jag" and "Jag's New Friend" from our local library based on the cute illustrations. I wished I would have screened the text more carefully. Not only did the story not make much sense, but it was excessively wordy for a children's book and plagued with all kinds of words (i.e., hate, dumb, stupid) and attitudes that are inappropriate for children. Based on the confused looks from my 4-year-old (very book-savvy) son, I decided to edit and change the story halfway through the first book so that it made some sense and didn't bore him and confuse him too much. Very disappointing!

WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
Popular young singer LeAnn Rimes and her husband, dancer/choreographer Dean Sheremet follow their initial collaborative effort, Jag, with a story of friendship.

As Jag's New Friend opens we find the perky jaguar and her best friend, Simon, lazing in a field enjoying a beautiful day.But, Simon's been pretty busy lately as captain of the climbing team, and he no longer has a great deal of time to spend with Jag.When Jag complains to her mother, mom suggests she visit her friend, Isabel.However, Isabel the parrot isn't at home.Instead, Jag found a snake, Bo, who offered to play.Now, Jag has been warned that snakes aren't "cool".But, Bo looks good to him - he'll show those friends who ignore him.

The little jaguar is soon disheartened when he sees that what Bo really wants is Isabel's eggs.(Wouldn't you know, snakes are always the bad guys!).So, Jag has a lot of explaining to do about why he took up with this slithery creature in the first place.

The lesson is clear: even your best friends can't always pay attention to you, and be careful who you trust.

Sales for this title will probably be buoyed by illustrator Richard Bernal's colorful illustrations and the Rimes name.

A Good Book for Teaching Values
I was afforded the opportunity of thumbing through this book at a friend's house.Aside from being a good book, it is just refreshing to see children books being written by someone who can really play the role model children need to see in celebrities.Too many stars "dabble" in this genre but lack the public character to add credibility to their work.Leann Rimes is star in every sense of the word, but more importantly, she is a warm and real person who projects the values she rights about.

As a fellow author of pet loss books, I know how difficult it is to bring a writing project to print.It takes a lot of effort and personal commitment.Given her other commitments, it is obvious that to dedicate the time and effort it took to produce this work she has to possess the values she writes about.

Even though I cheated and read someone else's copy, I recommend this book very highly. ... Read more
