3 stars A pretty good book overall. I liked all of the silliness and mayhem that starts off the book. The monster is an adorable little troublemaker. It reminds me of Cornelia Funke’s Ruffleclaw. The only thing I didn’t like about the book was the ending. The monster is kind of a jerk throughout the book,…

2 stars Well that was kind of terrifying. What starts out as a clever rhyming book about shapes takes a pretty dark turn. It all works itself out in the end, but the details were a bit creepy. [ In the book, circle rolls until it lands on the top of a very sharp triangle…

3 stars An adorable book featuring Pusheen. Great book for cat lovers or fans of Pusheen. This book consists of various lists, pictures, and characteristic cat qualities that are humorous as well as adorable. I’ll admit the book gets kind of repetitive after a while. It is probably best read in increments to space out…

3 stars A nice little bedtime story featuring Daniel Tiger. Daniel does not want to go to sleep, but with some creative songs from his parents, he finally realized the importance of sleep. It is a simple book with great illustrations. Reading the book aloud is a little awkward because it includes many song lyrics…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
