3 stars Similar to the other Animal Ark books, but definitely a little heavier than some of the other ones I have read. In this book, a pregnant golden retriever is left outside Animal Ark. Mandy and her parents work together to solve the mystery as well as help deliver and care for the puppies….

4 stars An adorably weird story about a little girl, some forgotten memories, and a green creature in a chicken suit named Bob. Well-written and unique, this book is intriguing from page one. I was instantly hooked by the story and really liked the characters. I also liked the narration changes between Bob and Livy….

5 stars This is an amazing collection of poems. I have read so many poetry books that have a few stand out poems and not much else. In this one, each poems has a mind of its own. It grabs you by the face and pulls you in, makes you smile, makes you cry, gives…

4 stars This is a great adaptation of the episode. Nice flow and very coherent. Good pictures as well. They appear to be taken directly from the show, but do not have the tell-tale blurriness of many books that utilize this technique. Good quality images. I really like this story. It is perfect for kids…

3 stars This is a nice introduction to Supergirl’s character and her backstory. This is a Step 2 reader for preschool to first grade readers to go through with help. It uses short stories and simple sentences to help those beginning to read. As with many Step 2 books, this one is not a story…

With queer characters? Sounds great. However, it just did not live up to the promise of success. My main problem with the…

3 stars Well, that was certainly a … unique ride. I have tried so hard to get into the series. The books look beautiful and I love the covers and intriguing titles. I listened to the first two audiobooks, and while I did not love them, I appreciated their uniqueness and creativity. But after this…

4 stars Great beginning reader. While many beginning readers are overly simplified to the point of not having a coherent plot, this one does a great job of keeping the story simple and easy to follow without being choppy. Short sentences make it a good book for young readers. Wonderful message about not being afraid…

4 stars An adorable and unique read. I really liked Kang’s spin on the classic plotline of a character finding their place and feeling important. An eraser is such a simple thing, but in this wonderful story, she proves just how valuable it is. A well-written story told entirely in dialogue with plenty of silly…

3 stars Nice read. A little choppy, but that is understandable considering it is a Step 1 reader. This book uses simple sentences and repetition for beginning readers (preschool and kindergarten). This is a cute little story about how Tiana turns an undesirable situation into a fun one. Overall, I liked it. The simplicity of…
