5 stars This is a phenomenal collection of essays.I loved it. I have only read one other book by Luiselli (Faces in the Crowd) and loved it as well. I would really like to read more by her. She has a very unique and imaginative way of describing things and expressing her insight into various…

3 stars Overall, a good story. I liked that this book included Wonder Woman and she actually had a role in the defeat of Starro. Kind of an advanced read for children. The pictures are pretty simple and not super-cartoony so probably better for older children who are interested in superheroes. For younger superhero-enthusiast, I…

3 stars Thoughts on Batter Up! Nice story about trying and doing your best. Silly and funny like the show, but without any of the controversial humor. Overall, a fun read, especially for fans of SpongeBob. Thoughts on Soccer Star! Another silly SpongeBob sports story. It is a fun, simple story, filled with funny moments.

3 stars Cute story. A nice adaptation of the TV show. Good for fans of Team Umizoomi. There are a lot of learning exercises, as in the show, to test shapes, patterns, and counting. A nice read for kids.

2 stars I found this in the Little Lending Library by my house and thought it looked right up my alley. I love zombies and gross-out books like Captain Underpants and The Day My Butt Went Psycho. Unfortunately, this one did not live up to my expectations. This is the first book I have read…

4 stars I’m not a huge fan of fashion, per se, but I’m guilty of buying cheap clothes, because I’m pretty… well… cheap. This is a eye-opening book that tells you exactly what is wrong with cheap fashion. I really enjoyed reading it. I’ll admit, the beginning was a bit boring for me, as Cline…

3 stars A nice collection of stories about friendship. Toad is notorious for being kind of a jerk, but Frog really exemplifies what it means to be a good friend. These stories perfectly capture true friendship, not the over the top, lovey dovey stuff that is so common in today’s literature and movies for children. They show…

3 stars A cute story with big adventure and an important lesson. A nice tale of friendship and kindness. I enjoyed the illustrations a lot. Very colorful. Nice, simple story.

3 stars A nice, simple story about friendship and trying new things. I especially loved the illustrations. A cute read, especially for children who like animals.

4 stars A beautiful and stunning book, reminiscent of The Rainbow Fish in design, but without the slightly horrifying lesson on friendship. This is a great book filled with adventure and dinosaurs. Cool story and amazing illustrations.
