Loser by Jerry Spinelli

2 stars This book was really difficult for me to get into. As a kid, I remember a lot of my friends reading it. As an adult, I still didn’t really know what it was about having never read it in school, so when I saw it in the Little Free Lending Library, I picked…

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

5 stars This book is wonderfully-written, majestically-crafted, and hauntingly beautiful. I loved every moment of it. Last week, I listened to the audiobook version of this book, which was very good. Then I saw that it was an abridged version so of course I had to hunt down the full story. And here we are….

Max at Night by Ed Vere

4 stars Another very cute Max story. I didn’t like this one quite as much as Max the Brave, but it still a very fun story with great, simple illustrations. I really liked the moon and sky artwork. This is a very good read-along story, because of the whispering and yelling elements. Nice Max adventure.

The text focuses on how Crankenstein is feeling, but the illustrations foreshadow other events in the story. Great detail. A fun…

Zombelina by Kristyn Crow

3 stars An adorably dark book about a zombie ballerina with stage fright. This is a cute story told in pleasant rhymes. I really enjoyed the beautiful and entertaining illustrations. Great for kids who like their books a little on the darker side. Not gory or anything, but a pleasant book filled with spooky characters.

The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden

5 stars I absolutely loved this book. It is an adorably entertaining read. While reading it, I had vague recollections of having read it before, but nothing concrete. I think I read it in elementary school, but I don’t remember much of it. I am so glad I read it now though. Fantastic story. This…
