3 stars Interesting way to teach manners. I liked the rhyme scheme and the silly contrast between pirates being rude/mean (stealing people’s stuff) and being polite (saying “thank you” after stealing said stuff). Fun book overall. The illustrations are definitely weird. Some fun craziness going on, but sometimes it was difficult to figure out what…

3 stars Good quick read. I found the story rather predictable, but I think it would suit young readers well. The story is a bit slow at times and filled with lots of unnecessary narration, but overall it had a good plot. The story gets a bit dark at times with a few instances of…

2 stars Okay read. I haven’t really watched the Teen Titans Go! show. I have seen bits and pieces in passing while at work (I do in-home therapy with children), but never watched a whole episode through. I don’t think it’s my kind of humor. This book is probably good for fans of the show….

4 stars A fun and silly book positing that huge dinosaur snores caused Pangea to split into the seven continents. Very funny. I really enjoyed the rhymes in the book. Very creative and well-written. There are also some great internal rhymes that were smooth and enjoyable (“Their nasal breeze stirred up the seas” was my…

4 stars This is such an adorable book. I loved it. Boo is a new and a little nervous about fitting in. Everyone is nice and accepting, but Boo soon learns he is not very good at the games they like to play. Amazing book about fitting in and making new friends. I loved the…

3 stars A nice book that introduces the new students of Twilight Sparkle’s School of Friendship. This is a Passport to Reading level 1 book, which utilizes short sentences and simple stories for beginning readers. While this book is not a plot-based story, it serves as a nice introduction to some of the new characters…

3 stars Fun Lego adventures featuring the Justice League. This book is set up as an illustrated chapter book, perfect for readers who are ready to bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books. The book contains three separate stories. Full of puns and silly scenarios, the stories are very entertaining. Nice illustrations complete…

3 stars Overall, this book was good. The idea of a mysterious clock ticking away in the walls of a magical house is absolutely fascinating. And I loved all of the descriptions of magic and strangeness. I could definitely see this book being kind of creepy when it was written in the 70s. For today’s…

4 stars Fantastic non-fiction read for young readers. This is a Level 3 book for those ready to read on their own. There is a lot of text on each page along with pictures that help break up the text. This is a great book. I loved the focus on women in science. The book…

3 stars Funny monster counting book. Nice illustrations that are simple yet entertaining. Snot and farts make fun additions to the monster pack. But if you’re easily offended by those things, look elsewhere. Good fit for kids who like slightly gross things. I did like the human boy’s character. I love the way he thought…
