Frozen: What a Team! by Calliope Glass

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…

Beauty and the Beast: Belle’s Story by Rachael Upton

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.

Steampunk Lego by Guy Himber

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…
