5 stars Such a fascinating and beautiful book.  Wonder about the origin story of all of those Little Free Libraries you see everywhere? Want to be part of the movement and install your own? This book has you covered. Complete with gorgeous pictures of various LFLs around the world, this is a fantastic book for…

3 stars Pretty good overall. This is a Step 3 reader recommended for grades 1 to 3. It supposedly uses “easy-to-follow plots” to aid with reading, but I found this one a little confusing. I will start by saying that if you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t want it to be spoiled, don’t…

5 stars I was pleasantly surprised by this book.  With the newest Grinch movie out and working with two little Grinch fans, when I see a Grinch book at the library, I snatch it up. I will say I have been rather disappointed with the most recent onslaught of Grinch books based on the new…

4 stars I haven’t actually seen the Ask the Storybots show in its entirety, but one of the kids I work with enjoys “A Beautiful, Beautiful World (The Earth Song)”, so when I saw this book at the library, I had to get it. Very cute rhyming text that is simple, but gets some basic…

4 stars I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoy reading Casey Renee Kiser’s poetry, a fact that is unsurprising considering this is her seventh book that I have read.  What I like most is the tell-it-like-it-is style of her poetry. It’s so refreshing to read poetry…

5 stars I absolutely loved this book. It has been sitting on my shelf for a while now, because I have been caught up reading library books days before they are due. I finally got around to reading it and I loved every page. The story sucked me in right away. I honestly woke up…

2 stars This was an okay read. I picked up a copy at Goodwill because I liked the idea of the letters. Unfortunately, they are kind of a pain. For each one, you can open the letter and see what is written inside. This is a cool set-up idea, but the structure was not very…

2 stars For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle Nice illustrations, but I was really confused by the story. This is obviously an adaptation of a show, but it is a really vague one. This is a Step 2 book, which is recommended for preschool to first grade readers. It use simple words, short sentences,…

4 stars Adorable book featuring Flap, Feather, and Spike. This is a My First book for shared reading. Nice, simple sentences and a simple story. Good repetition without making the book boring. Very cute illustrations. I liked the message about making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. Nice problem-solving. Goodreads

4 stars Nice book about sharing, similar to Llama Llama Time to Share. The thing I really liked about this book was that Pete the Kitty and Grumpy Toad figured out a solution all by themselves. Instead of having a grownup come in and lecture them about why sharing is good, they figured things out for…
