3 stars I picked this book up from the library to read with a little girl I work with who loves spooky things. It’s so nice to find books featuring monsters and such that aren’t necessarily Halloween-themed. This could be read during Halloween, but doesn’t actually have anything to do with the holiday outside of…

4 stars This story is honestly hilarious.  This is a Step 2 book, recommended for preschool to grade 1. It uses short sentences and basic vocabulary.  Such a cute story. It really brought a smile to my face reading it. The book features Heihei making a mess of everything and sweet little Pua doing his…

4 stars For a book based on such a complex and involved episode, this is actually pretty good. This is a Passport to Reading 1 book that uses short words and short sentences to read together with an adult.  Overall, I thought the book was easy-to-follow. I find that many beginner books based on TV…

2 stars This is a Ready-to-Go book for those just starting to sound out words and recognize sight words. All of the words in the book are featured in the beginning so the reader can practice before reading the book. This book uses sight words, word families, and repetition to aid in reading. As far…

4 stars I picked this up from the library to read with a kid I work with you loves numbers. As soon as I pulled it out of my bag, a huge smile spread on his face and he started making dinosaur sounds. He was ever more excited once I opened it and showed him…

3 stars A fun Paw Patrol adventure, featuring the main six pups and Tracker, based on the Paw Patrol episode “Pups Save Big Hairy”. This was a nice story, perfect for fans of the show. The illustrations went well with the text and were entertaining.  While there is a lot of text on each page,…

5 stars I was wondering past the children’s graphic novel section of the library (after telling myself I would not check out any more graphic novels) and this book stood out to me because it was shelved sideways instead of right side up. I opened it up and was intrigued that there was no narration…

5 stars I read Rosie Revere, Engineer a few years ago and enjoyed it. I saw this at the library and had to see what it was all about. I loved this book. It’s everything I loved about the Rosie Revere picture book with more detail. My only issue with the picture book was that it was…

5 stars Such a gorgeous book. When you write a wordless book, your illustrations really have to tell the story and capture the readers’ imagination. It is a difficult feat, but this is a perfect example of a success. The artwork in this book is amazing and I love the adventurous tale woven through the…

As a contributor to this collection, I feel it would be unfair of me to give it a star rating, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the work. With the broad theme of supernatural stories, this anthology has a wide variety of horrors. Creepy cats, sneaky zombies, aliens hiding in plain…
