4 stars I picked this book up from the library because one of the kids I work with is obsessed with Lego. He had already looked through all of the Build books the library had so I thought I’d given this one a try. While it is not a Build book and does not show…

4 stars A nice book recognizing some amazing women throughout history. Each woman is declared a saint of a specific field (color, dreamers, the independent, programmers, etc.) as well as given a feast day. Women’s birth years and places are given and a brief blurb, which tells about their lives, the impact they had, and…

4 stars The more I read this series, the more I love it. Each book is my new favorite. As with the second book, this is a fast-paced adventure book filled with mystery and suspense (as well as snarky Jasper <3 ). I find Call less annoying as the series goes on as well. In…

3 stars I love retellings, especially fairy tale retellings. I have a whole shelf on Goodreads dedicated to retellings and parodies. However, this one was kind of a let down. With big names like Neil Gaiman, Nancy Farmer, and Gregory Maguire, I thought I was in for an amazing trip into fairy tale retelling-dom. Unfortunately,…

4 stars I have been meaning to read this book for a while now, but hadn’t gotten around to it. Then I found a copy of the DVD at the library so of course I had to read the graphic novel first. And here we are. When I read books, especially graphic novels, I like…

5 stars A beautifully imaginative book with a simple story, but a wonderfully unique way of telling that story. The book is set up with a comic book-like style with dialogue bubbles and various frames, which alternate between the reality and fantasy of Laura’s creative play. I loved all of the details in the illustrations…

4 stars A good collection of Trolls stories, all which can be read aloud in about 5 minutes. I was a little disappointed when I realized this book just contains 8 Trolls stories that are told in other books, four of which I had already read. The stories are Trolls Little Golden Book, Dance! Hug! Sing!, Drop the…

3 stars A fun guidebook for those who enjoyed The Lego Movie. This book is a “guide” on how to be awesome. The book is broken down into various parts such as “Having an Awesome Morning”, “Traveling Abroad”, and “Dealing with Tricky Situations”. It is a fun and entertaining book. This book has it all:…

4 stars Fun read for fairy tale lovers who also want a little grossness in their lives. In the book, various fairy tales creatures search for who is behind the recent slime pandemic. Very humorous. I loved the new take on the characters (Goldilocks is quite the sassy one in this). Weird ending, but very…

4 stars First of all, I really enjoy this series. I have also read Ariel is Fearlessand Jasmine is Helpful and enjoyed those as well. I love that the princesses get to show how clever, resourceful, brave, and helpful they are. It isn’t all about looking pretty. These princesses do whatever it takes to help their friends. These…
