Each one of his books contains a significant part of his loving heart. There is no other author like Mr. Mason's work; it's fresh, appealing, and will make you want to experience more of his writing talent.Suzie HousleyMidwest Book Review5 StarsHere is what readers are saying about Researcher in a Box.Reviewed By Philip Van Heusen for Readers’ FavoriteChris Mason has written and helped others write research papers for many years. In Researcher in a Box, he takes the time to explain what is expected and how to write the best essay possible. Chris focuses on elementary and secondary school papers. In this book, Chris reviews the basics of six different types of essays. Chris points out some important distinctions of each. After explaining the types of papers, Chris goes further and analyses the components of the paper. Putting the paper together in the proper order is very important. Many young students are tempted to cheat by copying straight from one of their resources. Chris reminds his readers to never, ever plagiarize. Speaking of research, Chris gives ideas on where to find research and, more importantly, how to analyze that research. I love his use of the website concerning the endangered tree octopus.Researcher in a Box is Chris Mason’s contribution to young students everywhere. He gives information to help students excel in papers they write for school. While Chris gives good directions to finding research material, I wish he had included Google Scholar. Nevertheless, I applaud Chris’ attempt. After writing papers for lower schools, I later wrote major essays for two undergraduate degrees and three master’s degrees. Chris’ advice is spot on. This book is elementary in its information, but most paper writers need things kept simple. He writes to meet the need. I have to wholeheartedly agree that there is a dearth of critical thinking in today’s society. When elementary and secondary school students learn how to develop academic papers, their experience will serve them well as they pursue college degrees5 stars Reader's FavoriteHere is what readers are saying about The 12 Days of Christmas Geek Edition.The book itself is very short, as you can imagine with it covering the twelve days of Christmas.The book is a very funny read and I love the author take on the original. In this version all of the original things the person true love gave them has been updated and changed for things that a geek would love to be given.Overall it was a nice little read, which I can imagine would be good for people to be given as Secret Santa for ChristmasGoodreads4 starsHere is what critics are saying about Maxine's Happy Trails:A Truck Story.Reader's FavoriteMaxine’s Happy Trails: A Truck Story by Chris Mason is an exciting book with a trucker slant to it that takes readers on an exciting journey along with the truck. The wheels on the truck go round and round all across the country, and the wipers go swish, swish. The reefers on the truck go hum, hum, hum, and the city horn goes beep, beep, beep all across the country. The air brakes go hiss, hiss, hiss and the doors on the trailer open and shut. The big horn on the truck goes honk, honk, honk, and the driver on the truck goes whistle, whistle all across the country.The story is delightful and will bring a smile to the faces of young readers as they get to know the truck closely. The illustrations are bright and colorful and they make the author’s words come alive. There is a lyrical quality in the words and that will make it enjoyable for young readers. It is a good book for interactive sessions in classrooms as it has action and adventure and can also be read out to children during bedtime. Children who love trucks and vehicles will find this book a fun read. It is a simple and lighthearted story and I like the way the author introduces the truck and its parts to readers, and gives it a personality of its own. This happy trail along with the truck all over the country is a fun joyride that will be memorable to readers.5 Star ReviewHere is what critics are saying about Ten Little Monsters Standing in a LineTen Little Monsters Standing in a Line by Chris Mason was a cute book. The book is similar to the song “Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.” Instead of monkeys, there are monsters waiting in line at the unemployment office. I chose to read Ten Little Monsters Standing in a Line with my 5-year-old daughter because the monkey song is one of her favorites. She sort of liked the story. She was confused as to why the monsters were in a line for an unemployment office. I had to explain to her what an unemployment office was and what it does. However, she did like the illustrations in the book. She thought the monsters were cute looking.I thought the book was different and also sort of liked it. I liked the idea of the cute monsters and that it would help kids to learn how to count. Mason covered all of the classic monsters in this book like Godzilla and the Blob. I would have preferred for Mason to make them stand in a line that was geared more for kids, such as a cafeteria line or even a line for detention. The wording did not flow as smoothly as I would have liked, but it was still funny as to why each monster left the line. Overall, it is a nice book. Any book that helps kids learn to count in a new way is good in my eyes. If you like the monster classics, then this book might be for you.Reader's Favorite 4 star review.Here is what critics are saying about P is For Phoenix: An ABC Book of Legendary and Mythological Creatures.P is for Phoenix: An ABC Book of Legendary and Mythological Creatures by Chris Mason is an educational and informative book for children that not only teaches them the alphabet, but also gives them information about legendary and mythological creatures.
