Bunjitsu Bunny Jumps to the Moon by John Himmelman

3 stars This is the first Bunjitsu Bunny book I have read. A very cute collection of fables featuring Isabel, the Bunjitsu Bunny. The stories are simple, but each one presents an important lesson, such as that friends can help you do what you cannot do alone. I liked how most of the stories presented…

Misunderstood Shark by Ame Dyckman

3 stars A humorous book packed with facts about sharks. Overall, this was a good book. I liked the idea of a misunderstood shark who is just trying to be nice (it helps that sharks are my favorite animals even though I am absolutely terrified of them- irony, eh?). Each misunderstanding leads to an interesting…

Floaty by John Himmelman

4 stars Adorable. Absolutely adorable. This is such a cute book. It’s random and weird, but so, so cute. In the book, a cranky old man finds a surprise on his porch and slowly becomes less cranky. The story is simply told with great cartoon-y illustrations. Because the storytelling is so simple, it feels a…

Neck & Neck by Elise Parsely

4 stars An adorable picture book about a self-absorbed giraffe that becomes a hero. So cute. I loved the facial expressions. Who would have thought that a giraffe could have such an emotional range? Very well done. I really enjoyed the silly illustrations. A very cute story. I got this from the library and looked…

Lumberjanes, Volume 4: Out of Time by Noelle Stevenson

5 stars Can we all just pretend the third Lumberjanes book never happened? Great. Thanks. I really thought about stopping my pursuit of Lumberjanes after the third book. Those creepy baby-janes just did not do it for me. The story was fine, but I hate, hate, hated the illustrations. While browsing the graphic novel section…

This Book Loves You by PewDiePie

2 stars My husband loves PewDiePie. I watch his videos with him sometimes and while I am not a huge fan, I’ll admit he can be clever/funny at times. So I didn’t have high expectations that I would love this book or anything. This book is a parody of every inspirational/self-help book ever written. Just…

Paper Girls, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan

5 stars I loved this graphic novel. I was hooked from the very start. The characters are awesome, the story is confusing as heck but very intriguing, and the whole idea of the thing is just amazing. It is a science-fiction adventure set in the 1980s. This is basically Stranger Things with more time travel…

Henchgirl by Kristen Gudsnuk

2 stars I was a bit disappointed by this graphic novel. The concept was cool, but the execution fell through for me. The thing that really threw me was that the art style changes so much in the comics. It really bugged me that the artwork wasn’t consistent. Sometimes it appears more anime-ish, other times…

Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere by Elise Gravel

4 stars I actually really enjoyed this book. For starters, Olga is awesome. She loves animals (because humans are gross and horrible- I agree) and wants to be a scientist when she grows up. She accepts all the gross animal things (farts, pee) and isn’t too fazed by them. There are many humorous situations that…
