Arriving on my doorsteps this afternoon was a package containing the children board book, titled I Love You Just Because written by Donna Kieth with illustrations by Allison Edgson. Published by Thomas Nelson, the book will be released to bookstores tomorrow.

The first two "I Love You" books (I Love You All the Same and I Love You Even When) have sold over 75,000 copies.

I Love You Just Because You Are centers on a bear couple who have three different bear cubs - Brown Bear, Polar and Miss Panda.

The three young cubs are learning that even though they are siblings, they all have their own tastes and likes. Brown Bear and Polar likes to eat fish, but Miss Panda likes to eat bamboo. They quickly learn that while they aren't all the same size and look alike, they are all loved by their parents and by God.

Arriving on Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD from Disney Home Entertainment this week is the mega-hit Zootopia. Directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, the film has grossed over one-billion dollars at the box-office.

Set in a world full of anthropomorphic mammals, Zootopia centers on a Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin), a rabbit who has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Despite her small size, she is accepted into the police academy and later graduates at the top of her class. She says goodbye to her home in Bunnyburrow and heads to the big city of Zootopia to work as the police department there.

Sadly, the chief and none of the officers takes her very seriously. Instead of getting assigned to one of the missing animal cases, she is assigned to parking duty. This is where she first runs across the con artist Nicholas P. "Nick" Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman).

Eventually, Judy is assigned to find out what happened to Mr. Otterton, who had vanished into thin air. She persuades (well, more like blackmail) Nick into helping her solve the case.

At the end of the third season, an alien race called the Triceratons activated the a black hole device that destroyed Earth. Seconds before the destruction of the planet, Fugitoid, an android, arrives in his spaceship in the nick of time to save Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, April O'Neil and Casey Jones.

While "Alice Through The Looking Glass" underperformed at the box-office last weekend, the famous story by Lewis Carroll is still very popular with readers of all ages.

Now available to purchase in bookstores is Wonderland: A Coloring Book Inspired By Alice's Adventures by Amil Shen.

Yes, coloring books are normally for kids, but publishing companies have been releasing a slew of coloring books for adults for the past few years, which are becoming more and more popular.

There is a small amount of text in this coloring book that goes a similar route as the original story. Here you are Alice, where you follow the white rabbit through small door that transports you to Wonderland. There you encounter the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, the King & Queen and many other creatures.

In a time of sacrifice, what price can one put on true love? Pharmacist Lillian Avery and Ensign Archer Vandenberg are about to find out in Sarah Sundin's new book, Anchor in the Storm.

During the darkest days of the war, Arch's destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves—and with drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions Lillian has been filling? As the danger rises on both land and sea, the two must work together to answer that question. But can Arch ever earn Lillian's trust and affection?
