2 stars Okay collection. I understand the use of stream of consciousness and flowy narrative style, but most of the poems just came off as ramblings. Some pretty descriptions, but any deep meaning was lost in the disjointed style. Not really my style of poetry. There are many allusions to various other works and religious…

3 stars I haven’t seen this show in a while, but I vaguely remember Bella’s story. I found this in a Little Free Library and thought it might be a good book to read with some of the kids I work with. Thoughts on Awesome Guy to the Rescue Cute little story that focuses on…

3 stars Cute little book of winter adventures featuring three Disney princesses. I came upon this in a Little Free Library near my house. I work with two girls who enjoy princesses so I figured it was worth borrowing. Overall, it was good. The book includes three short stories with winter-themed plots. The stories are…

5 stars Such a beautiful book. I loved the story and the illustrations. This gorgeous adventure brings back memories of first discovering the library. The illustrations are lovely. It was wonderful to get to see parts of the New York Public Library on each page. I also really enjoyed the story. Heartwarming and adorable. The…

4 stars Cute book based on the show. This was actually an adorable story. I’m not a huge fan of PJ Masks, but work with some kids who enjoy the characters so I picked this up at the library. The story is instantly engaging and PJ Robot is so cute, you can’t help but root…

3 stars Good intro to the basic plot and characters of The Lego Movie 2. This is a Level 1 reader for those learning to read. The one-page “chapters” are very short and consist of a few sentences. Nice, simple sentences and relatively simple vocabulary. A little bit choppy because of this, but overall it…

2 stars I won a free digital audiobook of this. To be fair, I entered the giveaway without realizing this was the second book in the series, pulled in by the brightly-colored cover and intriguing title. I would definitely not recommend reading this without having read the first book. I had absolutely no idea what…

5 stars Beautiful, gorgeous, amazing book! I absolutely loved this one. I really wish it was a series of some sort. First of all, the illustrations are just stupendous. Loved the colors and details. I really enjoy the idea of imagining various magical creatures as pets (the snuggly hydra was my favorite).  It was also…

2 stars Well, that’s one way to turn people off of pizza, I suppose. A sad and slightly terrifying book that is meant to be funny, but ends up just making the reading feel guilty about eating. The pizza slices plead for their lives and try to prove that they should not be eaten by…

4 stars Cute spin on a classic song. The illustrations are adorable. I loved the detail (especially the woman taking pictures with her cellphone when things get a little out of hand- nice touch!). Also interesting to see so many different animals. Such to delight young animal lovers. While the book is a bit long,…
