4 stars A cute and funny book about making new friends, sharing, not judging others by their appearances/stereotypes, and trying new things. This is a very simple, but fun book. I liked that on the cover, it says “Word By Aaron Reynolds” instead of “words”. It’s a funny dedication to the details of the book…

I’m between 2 and 3 stars on this one. Overall, this is an interesting read about the fictional origins of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Those origins are basically epic battles between household items. Why are the household items fighting all the time? We will never know. But it’s a silly and fun read. The book is…

3 stars This is a good book for young readers just getting in to Pokemon. It goes through some of the basic Pokemon and their evolutions, including their Alolan counterparts. Some Pokemon featured in the book include Psyduck, Meowth, Mew, Snorlax, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and of course Pikachu. Each Pokemon has a brief description, an…

4 stars An adorable picture book about a scavenger hunt to find Guy Diamond and an awesome surprise at the end. This book features most of the Trolls including Branch, Biggie, Cooper, Smidge, and QUEEN Poppy. I love that there are so many books featuring Poppy as a queen and not just as a princess….

3 stars A good action-packed story about Darkseid coming to earth and turning Superman against Metropolis. This is an interesting book with great action illustrations. It also features Batman and Wonder Woman. A good read for young superhero fans. I also liked that it shows the heroes helping to clean up the city after the…

3 stars For the most part, I enjoyed this book. I was originally drawn in by the cover. Plus, I’m a huge fan of dragons. The beginning of the novel is very good. I really enjoyed all of the descriptive language. The premise of a fake dragon hunter is interesting and I liked the depth…

4 stars A wonderfully simple book filled with beautiful descriptions and ever more beautiful illustrations. Each page gives a short description of the dragon with an accompanying illustration that is absolutely gorgeous. From fire-dragons and ice-dragons to dragons that whisper stories in your ear, this is a magnificent book. There isn’t much story, but the…

2 stars   This book was okay. The pictures are taken directly from the movie so some of them are kind of fuzzy. This is a Level 2 book, but seemed pretty text-heavy. It is surprisingly long and even as an adult I got bored reading it. Not very engaging. It pretty much just goes…

5 stars   Written as a short chapter book, this Level 3 non-fiction read is a wonderful, engaging book for readers ready for more complex stories, difficult sentence structure, and challenging vocabulary. I really enjoyed this book. It goes through some of the major events is Copeland’s life. From injuries to court visits, this is…

3 stars   A cute, fun, energetic book about a little dinosaur who does not want to share (and pays the price for it at the end). This is an entertaining book, especially to read aloud (and to all scream “Chomp!” together). The illustrations are colorful and fun. Overall, an entertaining read about a greedy…
