4 stars Another great story in the Black Lagoon series. I grew up reading the picture books and have started making my way through the chapter books as well. I love that these books use the same general story structure of the original series and extend the format into short chapter books. The simple writing…

2 stars Interesting concept with some good lyrical narration. For me, this book didn’t feel quite finished. It read more like a draft than an ending piece. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, there wasn’t a whole lot of plot, and I didn’t really get a good feel for the Seep. While I…

5 stars I had to read this book for my Information Architecture course and it is by far my favorite book we have read up to this point. This is a great first resource for learning about Information Architecture and the information provided is wide enough to be applicable to many situations outside of official…

4 stars Growing up, I didn’t really watch a lot of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, because I was slightly terrified of puppets. However, as I’ve gotten older, I can really appreciate his teachings of love, acceptance, optimism, and patience. The book is a beautiful little collection to inspire, teach, and make the reader think. It includes many…

4 stars An absolutely adorable book about a family of monsters. The illustrations were so much fun and easily enjoyed by any child you likes messes. The story itself was simple. I kind of wanted it to go on a bit longer, but the ending was very cute. I really enjoyed the art style and…

3 stars While I did really enjoy reading this book, I gave it 3 stars because I read the original book, which features Clifford in an Indian costume and a boy dressed as a hobo. I have heard the Indian costume has been changed in the newer publications of the book, but it’s definitely something…

3 stars A cute story about Clifford’s first experience with snow as a tiny puppy. The pictures pair nicely with the simple text, progressing the story on. The illustrations were well done and also showed a nice range of emotions beyond happy and sad. Nice book about ingenuity, creative thinking, and everyone’s favorite red dog….

4 stars I actually came across this book in a librarian group on Facebook (I am working toward my master’s in library sciences) and thought it looked interesting. A fun, quick read that is filled with oddity, hilarity, and bookish humor. It was a fun experience to get a glimpse of what it can be…

3 stars Growing up, I absolutely loved the Black Lagoon picture book series. They were the perfect balance of scary and silly for me. I was really excited when I saw that there was also a Black Lagoon chapter book series. The structure is very similar to the picture books with hilarious and horrifying artwork,…
