Does Frankenstein Get Hungry? by John Solimine

5 stars This is a wonderful, silly, disgusting, and surprisingly helpful book. In it, a little girl is scared of the things that may lurk in her room when trying to fall asleep. But after thinking of a bunch of silly questions relating to what she is scared of, she realizes she does not have…

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems

5 stars The story of Goldilocks has been told time and time and time and time again. Each one has it’s own special twist, but honestly this is the best one I have ever read. It is hilarious. Characteristically humorous for Willems, this is a wonderfully entertaining book. I really enjoyed it. The pictures are…

There Was an Old Mummy Who Swallowed a Spider by Jennifer Ward

3 stars Cute Halloween-themed revamp of “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”. Very cute illustrations. I liked the style. I also liked the amount of detail in the illustrations. There are some rather silly rhymes on the tombstones in the cemetery. Nice balance of a little scary, but not too scary. Definitely…

You Should Meet: Katherine Johnson by Thea Feldman

5 stars Amazing book on Katherine Johnson’s life and achievements. This is a Ready to Read Level Three book, which utilizes difficult sentence structure, challenging vocabulary, and more complex plots. I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with tons of information, but written in a way that was interesting and engaging. I also loved…

Thomas & Friends: Thomas and the Snowy Tracks

3 stars Okay Thomas story. Not really sure what the lesson is or if there is one. It feels like it’s something along the lines of follow directions, but it’s a bit vague. Nice illustrations. I really liked the glitter on the snow. Nice touch that makes the pictures more fun. Good story. It is…

Are Pirates Polite? by Corinne Demas and Artemis Roehrig

3 stars Interesting way to teach manners. I liked the rhyme scheme and the silly contrast between pirates being rude/mean (stealing people’s stuff) and being polite (saying “thank you” after stealing said stuff). Fun book overall. The illustrations are definitely weird. Some fun craziness going on, but sometimes it was difficult to figure out what…

Moo by Sharon Creech

3 stars Good quick read. I found the story rather predictable, but I think it would suit young readers well. The story is a bit slow at times and filled with lots of unnecessary narration, but overall it had a good plot. The story gets a bit dark at times with a few instances of…

Teen Titans Go!: Road Trippin’ by Jonathan Evans

2 stars Okay read. I haven’t really watched the Teen Titans Go! show. I have seen bits and pieces in passing while at work (I do in-home therapy with children), but never watched a whole episode through. I don’t think it’s my kind of humor. This book is probably good for fans of the show….
