3 stars I was obsessed with Princess Smartypants when I was little. I had the first book and read it so many times that it is falling apart. But I still have it and it’s still awesome.This one is pretty good too. It’s one of the most ridiculous books I’ve ever read, but it a…

5 stars I loved this book! This is the first book I have read by Kelly Corrigan. I really enjoyed the set up of the book. It is half memoir and half self-help book. Entertaining and enlightening. Corrigan has a very relatable writing style. She is charismatic and easy to connect to. The book is…

2 stars Cute story with nice illustrations. The book is pretty predictable and repetitive, per classic Dora. I was never really in to Dora, but I thought it was kind of weird that this one is so princess-y. Dora dons a purple dress and matching headband, which seemed to stray from her original shorts and…

4 stars A goofy, silly, funny story about a slug who just wants a hug. A great message about love and acceptance. The story flows nicely and the catchy rhyme scheme makes it a calming book to read over and over again. This would make a great bedtime story. Nice illustrations, by the end of…

4 stars Overall, I enjoyed this book. I picked up this audiobook from the library, like a true person in a hurry, to listen to in the car when traveling for work. I really enjoy learning about space and especially love books like this, written for people who aren’t astrophysicists. The chapters are pretty short…

4 stars I found a copy of this audiobook at the library and was so excited to read it that it wasn’t until I put it in the CD player in my car that I realized it was an abridged version. At that point it was too late and I just had to listen to…

4 stars Surprisingly, this is not the first rodent-based retelling of the whole Excalibur thing that I have read. A few years ago I read, the first book in the Mice of the Round Table series by Julie Leung, which stuck more closely to the original legends. However, I enjoyed this one more. It is…

3 stars A fantastically-told story in very few words. The pictures in this book are perfect. They put together an entire story by themselves. This is a humorous story that is simple, yet very entertaining. Great expressions and incorporation of text into the illustrations. A fun book with wonderful illustrations.

4 stars I feel like you can’t not like Mo Willems’ books. They’ll at least bring a little smile to your face.Another silly story starring your favorite pigeon. As always, the pigeon is very funny and entertaining. These are such engaging books. I love reading them, by myself and with the children I work with….
