4 stars Great Batgirl adventure. I liked the setup of the story. In this one, Batgirl retraces her steps to find a present that she lost while she was fighting crime. The book is comprised of flashbacks and the main story set in the present tense. The flashbacks are presented in grayscale, making it easy…

3 stars Overall, this was an interesting book. As others have said, it is very whimsical and fantastical in its events, characters, and descriptions. Similar in style to The Wizard of Oz series and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this is the story of a little girl wondering around a strange fairy land and the adventures she has there….

3 stars A very clever alphabet book. As with many alphabet book, this one dedicates one page spread to each letter. The impressive thing is that it also creates a sentences using only words that start with that letter. This is even more remarkable later in the alphabet, especially for x, y, and z. I’ll…

3 stars Cute book about getting ready to sleep. As with the other books in the series, I really enjoyed the illustrations. Loved the parallels between Supergirl and the main character. I’ll admit, I enjoyed Be a Star, Wonder Woman! and Bedtime for Batman a little more than this one, but this was still a fun read. I feel…

4 stars A humorous and adorable tale about a little witch who does not get along with her baby sister. I feel like this is such a relatable story, wanting your baby sister/brother to disappear. I personally don’t have siblings, but I have read enough books and seen enough movies to know that at some…

4 stars A wonderful book with a simple yet entertaining story. The book’s interesting format, use of repetition, and adorable illustrations make it perfect for reading aloud to young children. I especially loved the participation element of shaking the tree with the various animals. A very fun book.   Goodreads

4 stars A nice, empowering book about Batgirl. This is a Step 2 book, recommended for preschool to first grade. The book uses simple word choice, short sentences, and a basic story to read with help. Like many Step 2 books, this is more of an introduction to a character rather than a full story….

As a contributor to this anthology, I do not think it would be fair for me to give it a star rating. But I would like to share some of my thoughts on my favorite pieces. This is a simple collection of short work including stories and poems. I love the idea of putting little…

3 stars A nice simple adventure featuring Anna and Elsa. This is a Step 2 book, which is recommended for readers in preschool to first grade. It uses simple stories, basic word choice, and short sentences for children to read with assistance. Because of the simple language used, it is a bit choppy, but overall…

4 stars A hilarious book about taking your dragon to a restaurant and all of the trouble that ensues. Very funny and entertaining. A perfect book for dragon-lovers and those fascinated with slightly gross things like messy eating and nose picking. I loved the illustrations. They are all very fun and colorful. Very well done….
