5 stars Great book for learning about Eliza Hamilton and her contribution to history. This is a Step 3 book for “Reading on your Own” and uses easy-to-follow plots and interesting characters. I really enjoy the Biography Reader series. The few I have read are very engaging and educational. Growing up, I always thought I…

4 stars Perfect guide for kids interested in the new Incredibles movies. This guide goes through the main characters, gadgets and vehicles, and some of the basic plot points of the movie. There are tons of interesting pictures and graphics as well as a few quizzes such as determining your super power. Fun and engaging…

4 stars I had no idea what this book was about going into it. I saw it at the library and needed an audiobook that was approximately three hours for my commute. The back cover didn’t really give much information, but I was intrigued by the cover art. I was not prepared to listen to…

4 stars A delightful and imaginative look at mashups between animals and vehicles, two things most children seem to love. From a lion limo to bat balloons, this is a wonderful book for exploring animal habits and letter sounds. I really like that Frost worked in some animal facts such as bat flying at night,…

5 stars A wonderful and empowering book. Plus, it rhymes, which is always a plus in my book. I have read many books in this style, but each one is so different from the last and I always want more of them. I really liked the diversity represented in this book. Each girl is unique…

3 stars A nice retelling of Snow White, featuring some ponies. I liked the unique twists on the original such as Snow Pony extending an invitation for the miniature ponies to come with her instead of just leaving them. There are a decent amount of things that are clearly written for adults rather than children…

3 stars Similar to the other Animal Ark books, but definitely a little heavier than some of the other ones I have read. In this book, a pregnant golden retriever is left outside Animal Ark. Mandy and her parents work together to solve the mystery as well as help deliver and care for the puppies….

4 stars An adorably weird story about a little girl, some forgotten memories, and a green creature in a chicken suit named Bob. Well-written and unique, this book is intriguing from page one. I was instantly hooked by the story and really liked the characters. I also liked the narration changes between Bob and Livy….

5 stars This is an amazing collection of poems. I have read so many poetry books that have a few stand out poems and not much else. In this one, each poems has a mind of its own. It grabs you by the face and pulls you in, makes you smile, makes you cry, gives…

4 stars This is a great adaptation of the episode. Nice flow and very coherent. Good pictures as well. They appear to be taken directly from the show, but do not have the tell-tale blurriness of many books that utilize this technique. Good quality images. I really like this story. It is perfect for kids…
