5 stars I was wondering past the children’s graphic novel section of the library (after telling myself I would not check out any more graphic novels) and this book stood out to me because it was shelved sideways instead of right side up. I opened it up and was intrigued that there was no narration…

5 stars I read Rosie Revere, Engineer a few years ago and enjoyed it. I saw this at the library and had to see what it was all about. I loved this book. It’s everything I loved about the Rosie Revere picture book with more detail. My only issue with the picture book was that it was…

5 stars Such a gorgeous book. When you write a wordless book, your illustrations really have to tell the story and capture the readers’ imagination. It is a difficult feat, but this is a perfect example of a success. The artwork in this book is amazing and I love the adventurous tale woven through the…

As a contributor to this collection, I feel it would be unfair of me to give it a star rating, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the work. With the broad theme of supernatural stories, this anthology has a wide variety of horrors. Creepy cats, sneaky zombies, aliens hiding in plain…

2 stars I found this in the Little Free Library by my house and was intrigued by the title. I had never heard of Diesel Sweeties before. This book was okay. Mostly it was just too repetitive for me. Yes, we get it… bacon… coffee… more bacon… more coffee. I am not obsessed with bacon…

4 stars This is such a beautiful and adorable book. Honestly, I don’t really like glitter that much. I don’t really like it at all. But I can definitely see the appeal of this book. All the sparkles and shimmers are mesmerizing.  I have noticed a trend in children’s books lately. A lot of them…

3 stars The thing I found most fascinating about this book is that it is based on actual facts about octopuses. Lachenmeyer took actual traits of this wondrous creature and tied them together in a fun picture book about a runaway octopus.  Cute illustrations. I liked the cartooniness of them and think this would appeal…

5 stars Fantastic book. Great for middle school and high school readers. This book was well put together. The information was interesting and the language used was approachable. Terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader were briefly explained as well as defined in the glossary at the end. It was also a good length….

5 stars Okay, okay, I’m guilty of watching the corresponding Netflix episode before reading this book, but in my defense, it’s a difficult show to stop watching. Anyway, I knew what was going to happen, but I still loved every moment of reading this book. The Midnight Giant is one of my favorite storylines so…

4 stars Fun companion guide to The Emoji Movie.  The book starts by giving you a basic rundown of texting, the settings of the movie, and references some of the basic events of the movie. It then goes on to introduce the emojis. There is a blurb about each one as well as a usefulness…
