2 stars This was an okay adaptation of My Little Pony: The Movie. I liked the graphic novel format, but adapting a full-length movie into a graphic novel is a difficult task, one that is not undertaken easily. For me, this adaptation just didn’t work. The dialogue was very choppy and the scenes jumped a…

4 stars Awesome continuation of the Cleopatra in Space series. This is the third book in the series and I highly recommend reading the first two before reading this one. A lot happens with this one in terms of the prophesy, time tablets, and overall story arch. There are many references to what happened in…

3 stars A very simplified version of My Little Pony: The Movie, good for young readers. It is a Reading Level 2 with many sight words though some of the sentences are a bit lengthy. The pictures appear to be taken from the actual movie, but do not have the grainy or blurry quality many…

3 stars A cute book that serves as a prequel to The Angry Birds Movie. In this book, Red goes to Prudence (multiple times) to try to find a job. Not sure how relatable it would be to kids, but it’s still entertaining. It is a nice story, a bit lengthy, but overall interesting. I…

3 stars A cute holiday book for fans of the minions. Phil feels bad that he stranded his friends on an island and they are missing Christmas. So he decides to make it up to them by bringing Christmas to them. A cute story. I’m usually not a huge fan of Christmas books (because I’m…

5 stars   This is a gorgeous book! I am always hesitant about buying Harry Potter books outside of the ones J.K.Rowling actually wrote. When I was a kid, I collected everything HP, but as an adult, I’ve become more picky (probably because I have to spend my own money now). There are just too…

2 stars Before reading this book, I didn’t really know anything about Diego. I had never watched the show and just knew that he was Dora’s cousin. This is a very informative guidebook about Diego and the animals he rescues. It goes through what Diego does, the tools he uses, and the people/animals who help…

3 stars I have read this book with various kids and they all enjoyed it. In this one, Little x feels worthless so he runs away and the other letter set off to bring him back. A cute story. I wasn’t a huge fan of the CGI-looking illustrations, but the story itself was good. The…

4 stars I love this fun twist on an alphabet book. In this one, the letters go whenever they feel like it instead of alphabetical order. Beautiful chaos ensues, full of subtle messages about trying new things and doing things in a different way (as well as asking nicely for what you want). Fun illustrations…

3 stars Like many of the books in the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! series, this one is fun but weird. The story follows a girl picking out shoes to wear for the day. The shoes try to convince her to choose them, then try to talk her out of her decision when they do…
