3 stars Weird little quasi-ghost story that is simple, but entertaining. This is a Step 2 book suggested for preschool and grade 1 readers to read with an adult. Short sentences, simple words, and repetition are worked into the book, making it a good beginner read. The story itself was interesting, weird, but interesting. Overall,…

2 stars Okay read. In this one, Sherlock Gnomes gives a “tour” of the characters from the movie. There is no story, it is just a description of the characters with vague references to the plot of the Sherlock Gnomes movie. I have not seen the movie yet, but after reading this, have a decent…

4 stars Last month, I read PJ Masks Race to the Moon!, which is a beginner reader version of this episode. The story was good, but it really bugged me that it was so vague. It was unclear how the team stopped Luna Girl. This book really clears it all up. Having not seen the episode…

2 stars It has been a while since I watched the Dinotrux show on Netflix, but from what I remember this is basically a summary of what happened in the first episode when all of our favorite dinotrux meet and learn to work together. Good story overall. I do think it was kind of wordy…

4 stars This was actually a good story. I work with children and read a lot of picture books based on movie/tv characters. I am actually disappointed by a lot of them because they seem to lean too much on the celebrity of the characters and therefore, don’t tell a good story. This one however…

5 stars   I don’t even know exactly what it is that makes me love Giant Days so much. I usually don’t like realistic fiction. I’m much more of a fantasy/sci-fi/dystopian kind of person. I love Rat Queens and Saga, Y: The Last Man and Bitch Planet. But this series is just so perfect. It’s…

4 stars I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a beautiful book. It is set up as Belle’s journey and goes through the events of the newest live-action movie. The narration is pretty simple, but I loved the various sketches, pictures, letters, and flaps included. Great idea…

5 stars I absolutely loved this book. Fantastic story and amazing writing. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by David Tennant, another plus. Even if you don’t know who that is, you should probably listen to this book because he is by far the best audiobook reader I have ever had the privilege…

2 stars I will start by saying this is a very pretty book. I liked the cover and the various illustrations throughout. Very hygge. The colors and font used were very comforting. However, what I think my dislike of this book all boils down to is that it didn’t need to be a book. The…

3 stars I listened to the audiobook of this book (which I highly recommend as it is narrated by the author and who doesn’t love Nick Offerman’s voice?) and enjoyed it. I liked Offerman’s idea of creating a list of inspirational Americans who exhibited gumption and did great things. The list of people included in…
