4 stars I loved this book! First off, it is freaking gorgeous. Secondly, it is just so well-written and amazing. Some of this history was a review for me since I’ve read all of the Deltora books, but it was cool to have all of the mythology/history all in one place. It is basically The Silmarillion of…

3 stars Entertaining book for Ninja Turtle fans. This book basically goes through a brief backstory and how they met April. The illustrations are entertaining with a few fights scenes (and an epic explosion!). The story is pretty simple, but entertaining. I picked this book up from the library to look at with a kid…

2 stars This was an okay read. Liz Climo did a fantastic job with the illustrations. I love the way she balanced simplicity with detail. They are very cute and entertaining. The story itself starts off funny enough. Elephant has an itch and asks multiple animals for help. As the story progresses, Elephant gets more…

3 stars This is just one of those books that is super difficult to review. Overall, it was good. I think my downfall was reading The Darkest Part of the Forest before this one. I absolutely loved that book. It was amazing. I loved everything about it. When I figured out this series was set in the…

5 stars This was actually a surprisingly wonderful adaptation of the My Little Pony episode, “The Perfect Pear”. I have found that many picture book adaptations of various shows are too simple or dull or confusing. But this was is perfect. Plus, it is one of my favorite MLP episodes (I’ve always been a sucker…

5 stars This is a beautiful book. Let’s be real, you know what is going to happen just by looking at the title and the cover art. If the subject matter is going to offend your delicate sensibilities, go find something else to read. Don’t get mad because this book is what it is. I…
