3 stars I’ve had the Kindle version of this book for a while now, but I am so bad about actually reading the ebooks I have. While vacationing in Mexico, I decided to only read ebooks and settled on this one. Perfect length for reading in a week between wading in the ocean and pool…

3 stars Fun Lego adventure.  This is a Level 2 book targeted toward grades 1 to 3 that utilizes longer sentences and new vocabulary.  Overall, good story. I don’t really know anything about Lego Jurassic World, but this story is definitely slightly different than the actual Jurassic World movie. Silly and fun. Loved the whole…

4 stars Great adaptation of the Coco movie. This book goes through the basic story, including the ending, so if you haven’t seen the movie by now, just be aware that there are spoilers in this book. This is a Step 3 book for grades 1 to 3 for reading on your own. I thought…

3 stars This is one of those books that is incredibly difficult to decipher exactly how you feel about it. I actually started reading this in college. I think I was bored at a friend’s apartment and she had it laying around, so I started reading it. I still have the copy she gave me…

4 stars Another adorable Knuffle Bunny adventure. I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the first Knuffle Bunny or Knuffle Bunny Free, but it was still a cute addition. Mostly I thought it was kind of unreasonable for the Dads to go through so much trouble in the middle of the night, but it is what…

5 stars I just love this series so much. I really enjoy watching Trixie grow up from book to book. As with the first book, the pictures are perfect. The mash up of illustrations and photographs is perfect. Love the story. It is such a heartwarming one. Great fit for children who are at that…

3 stars Fun retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. This one is kind of text-heavy so good for older children. I liked the illustrations, especially trying to find the cat on each page. Fun way to get readers to pay close attention to the pictures. Overall, the story was good. A clever twist on the…

3 stars Overall, this was a good book. I liked the perspective taken on cyberbullying. Many stories that tackle bullying come from the perspective on the person being bullied. I liked that this one looked at the perspective of the perpetrators. Very realistic in their views. They didn’t think about how what they said might…

4 stars First of all, awwwwwwwwwwww! This is such an adorable book. Really cute and heartwarming story. Secondly, I loved the simplicity of the book. Great use of page space. The physial book is a little larger than a standard hardcover book. Willems utilizes the pages well in showing the huge scary monsters in contrast…

4 stars Great book about accepting mistakes and taking responsibility. This was a wonderful way to approach the topic. I think it worked really well to show that superheroes can make mistakes too. It doesn’t make them bad, accidents happen. It’s about what they do to fix the mistake. Wonderful message and great presentation. I…
