Sofia the First: A Magical Match

4 stars A nice story about friendship with an important lesson in the end. This is a fun and simple book. Good team work and problems solving. The illustrations were cute in a very computer-y sort of way. Overall, a good read.

Pirate Jam by Jo Brown

4 stars This is definitely an Awwww book, one of those books you can’t read without saying “awwww”, at least in your head. It’s a very cute story about two pirates who are horrible at being pirates. Lots of silly word play and clever ideas. This is a very good book. A funny story, sure to…

Clifford’s Teacher’s Pets

3 stars This is an adaption of an episode from the TV series. A cute story with a very nice ending. I liked the moral at the end of the story about trying your hardest and doing the best you can. Simple story that is a bit repetitive, but still a good read.

Paisley Mischief

4 stars I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing inexchange for an honest review. This is a perfect little satirical novel. The loathsome characters and high society facades are reminiscent of The Great Gatsby set in modern New York. I loved the little mysteries and tricks to tie everything up at the end. This was…
