Storybots: The Amazing Planet Earth by Scott Emmons

4 stars I haven’t actually seen the Ask the Storybots show in its entirety, but one of the kids I work with enjoys “A Beautiful, Beautiful World (The Earth Song)”, so when I saw this book at the library, I had to get it. Very cute rhyming text that is simple, but gets some basic…

Snail Vixen and the Crystal Garden by Casey Renee Kiser

4 stars I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoy reading Casey Renee Kiser’s poetry, a fact that is unsurprising considering this is her seventh book that I have read.  What I like most is the tell-it-like-it-is style of her poetry. It’s so refreshing to read poetry…

Dear Princess

2 stars This was an okay read. I picked up a copy at Goodwill because I liked the idea of the letters. Unfortunately, they are kind of a pain. For each one, you can open the letter and see what is written inside. This is a cool set-up idea, but the structure was not very…

Bonaparte Falls Apart by Margery Cuyler

3 stars I picked this book up from the library to read with a little girl I work with who loves spooky things. It’s so nice to find books featuring monsters and such that aren’t necessarily Halloween-themed. This could be read during Halloween, but doesn’t actually have anything to do with the holiday outside of…
