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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

3 stars This was kind of a tricky one to rate. I really liked the focus on Juliet and all of the parts she played to help solve the mystery and her friends. However, I think it was too ambitious to try to include so much detail in a Level Two reader. Level Two books…

4 stars Great book for Star Wars fans who want to learn more about various droids. I liked that this book included a variety of droids from a variety of Star Wars films and shows such as Chopper, R2D2, BB-8, and K-2SO. This is a Level 1 reader for those learning to read. Some tricky…

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…

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…

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…
