3 stars This is a nice introduction to Supergirl’s character and her backstory. This is a Step 2 reader for preschool to first grade readers to go through with help. It uses short stories and simple sentences to help those beginning to read. As with many Step 2 books, this one is not a story…

2 stars I received this book through LibraryThing is exchange for an honest review. I wanted to like this book. I wanted to like it so much. A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice? With queer characters? Sounds great. However, it just did not live up to the promise of success. My main problem with the…

3 stars Well, that was certainly a … unique ride. I have tried so hard to get into the series. The books look beautiful and I love the covers and intriguing titles. I listened to the first two audiobooks, and while I did not love them, I appreciated their uniqueness and creativity. But after this…

4 stars Great beginning reader. While many beginning readers are overly simplified to the point of not having a coherent plot, this one does a great job of keeping the story simple and easy to follow without being choppy. Short sentences make it a good book for young readers. Wonderful message about not being afraid…

4 stars An adorable and unique read. I really liked Kang’s spin on the classic plotline of a character finding their place and feeling important. An eraser is such a simple thing, but in this wonderful story, she proves just how valuable it is. A well-written story told entirely in dialogue with plenty of silly…

3 stars Nice read. A little choppy, but that is understandable considering it is a Step 1 reader. This book uses simple sentences and repetition for beginning readers (preschool and kindergarten). This is a cute little story about how Tiana turns an undesirable situation into a fun one. Overall, I liked it. The simplicity of…

3 stars Overall, a good story featuring Biggie from Trolls. In it, Biggie seeks help from the Bizzy Buzzer Bugs to make cupcakes for a party. I was a little disappointed that the Bugs didn’t really receive anything in return for their work. They could have at least been invited to the party. Instead they…

5 stars Great book. I love the mash-up of fiction and non-fiction. Last month I had the privilege of seeing Stef Wade speak at an author event at the library. It was really interesting to hear the journey of this book, from idea to published book. Once I heard about it, I had to give…

5 stars I figured I would enjoy this book, because I am a huge fan of dragons, but it really exceeded my expectations. The book is beautifully written with great descriptions. It is a rhyming book that has some truly fantastic rhymes. It’s not all “you” and “too” as so many other children’s books are….
