4 stars A simply gorgeous book, perfect for bedtime.  I loved the concept of this book. The text is so simple, yet poetic, and I love the sleep-themed world created in the illustrations.  The story itself is so simple, but the execution is lovely. Great visuals that are calming and beautiful.  I also liked the…

3 stars A very cute picture book about a new pet dinosaur that is reminiscent of Clifford the Big Red Dog.  This was a fun book to read. I enjoyed the red-and-blue pictures. They are a mishmash of illustrations and real-life objects, which adds a nice contrast. It was fun to see the pros and…

5 stars I just love this series so much! It is perfection. Ostertag does a great job continuing where the first book left off as well as incorporating new issues into the story. Really well-done. I love everything about this book. The characters, the universe, the story.  I feel like this is going to be…

4 stars Walking through the aisles of the library, I was intrigued by the title of this book and decided to check it out. So glad I did. This book was fantastic.  Seemingly geared toward high school (possibly middle school) and college-aged girls and women, this book is honestly helpful for women in all stages…

2 stars Okay read. It would make a good gift for fans of Happiness Is… It’s mostly just a coffee table book filled with tips on living a creative life. Most of these tips are pretty obvious and not all that insightful. Also, many are repeated in various different ways (working as a team, opening…

4 stars Such an odd premise for a book that turns into a lovely and adorable story.  Sick of boring stories about bunnies being cute and cuddly, a group of strange animals band together to write their own exciting stories. When a bunny wants to join they group, they are quick to refuse. A very…

3 stars Nice book that applies a variety of emotions to different Star Wars characters. I liked the scope of the book. It includes references to the original Star Wars series as well as the newer movies. It was really cool to see all of those characters in one book.  There was also a great…

3 stars Overall, a good story. I have not seen the movie this book was based on, but from what I can tell, this is a simplified version of the movie.  I think this book is meant to be read after having seen the movie. It goes through the origin of Super Sparkle. At the…
