3 stars A very cute little retelling of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. I really liked the artwork and silly pictures. This is an adorable little book that will make you smile. Extra points awarded for a Thanksgiving book that doesn’t bring up eating the turkey.

3 stars Another cute story about Emma, this time to the tune of “Jingle Bell”. As with the other books featuring Emma, the illustrations in this book are adorable. A cute little Christmas adventure for young children.

1 star Not a fan of the artwork and I think the whole message of the book was a bit extreme. I understand the intent, but the elves’ storyline was ridiculous. I usually love books that rhyme, but this one felt lazy. Also there wasn’t a very consistent rhythm to the story, which made it…

3 stars A very simple book, but a very cute one as well. The pictures are adorable and brought a smile to my face. A sweet little Halloween book great for young children.set to the tune of “You Are My Sunshine”.

4 stars Very cool concept. I really enjoyed this story. The story is well-written, fast-paced, and immediately draws the reader in. I also really liked the artwork. This is a fascinating story with a great ending. Awesome work.

3 stars This was a good story overall. I haven’t read anything else in the series, but this prequel was descent. I liked the mashup of medieval and futuristic aspects, a sort of sci-fi and fantasy blend. I have to say the dynamics of Ella’s relationship with Rathan were a bit creepy for my taste,…

4 stars I really enjoy this series. This is a great short story that can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. It’s been awhile since I read the first two novels, but I read it aloud to my boyfriend (who is not familiar with the series) today and we were…

4 stars I really can’t get enough of this series. Susan Kaye Quinn has created a truly fascinating world and this story is a great continuation of it. This can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. The story includes enough detail that someone could go into it without having any…
