5 stars Another fun and hilarious Captain Underpants adventure. I love that each book is so unique. As with the previous ones, the audio adaptation is great. Fun sound effects, epic music, and different voice actors and voice changes for different characters really add to the reading experience to make it even more fun and…

5 stars A fantastic read, start to finish. I didn’t really know what to expect going in to this, but I am always interested in fairy tale retellings. This one has the unique premise of telling the “real” story of Hansel and Gretel by reworking multiple Grimm stories such as “Faithful Johannes”, “The Seven Ravens”,…

5 stars I loved this book. The writing was perfect. From the first page, I was instantly caught up in the narration. It was so casual and friendly. Even though the plot was not very complex, I was never bored or in a hurry to finish a section. I also thought the pacing was very…

I’m always a little squeamish about children’s books with food for characters. As soon as you put a cute face on something,…

5 stars 5/30/25 Update: Found the audiobook through my library system and was so excited to revisit the story. I loved the story just as much as the first time. I was not a fan of the audio narration though. It doesn’t really capture the vibe of Friendship is Magic, using high-pitched versions of the…

3 stars A cute branch off of the Judy Moody series. I didn’t like this as much as the Judy Moody books I have read. The whole thing didn’t go as in depth as the previous series in my opinion. The writing was more simplistic, making it easier for younger readers to read. I did…
