3 stars This is a cute book about loving your hair for its uniqueness. A great book about hair acceptance. The illustrations are great and show various hair styles and textures (puffs, dreadlocks, curls, Bantu knots). The rhymes were a little confusing as each hair style is equated with an activity, which doesn’t really make…

2 stars Cute informational read that gives a basic introduction to The Batman Movie. This book does not contain a real story, it just introduces the reader to the characters in the movie. This was an okay read. For a Level 1 Reader, I thought it was kind of lengthy and the pages were pretty…

4 stars Entertaining and humorous read. Great illustrations and message. Overall, this is a good book. In this Lego adventure, some young superheroes learn the importance of working together as a team. This is a Level 2 book so it has a relatively simple plot, but it is still very entertaining. Longer sentence length and…

3 stars This is a very difficult book to rate. It wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be. There were definitely funny parts, but much of the book dealt with very serious issues. This is not a critique, but I think it is helpful knowing this before you start reading it. It is…

3 stars Another adorable and charming Paddington book. Whether its making toffee or appearing on a game show, Paddington is so endearing in all of his adventures. This is a nice continuation of the Paddington series. Great for fans of the previous books. The old favorites make their appearances (Mrs. Bird, Mr. Gruber, even mean…

3 stars Overall, a good read, especially for fans of Lemony Snicket and his unique narration style. This book contains a new wrong question and a new mystery while continuing the larger scheme from the first book. It picks up right where the first book left off. There are more strange characters and new developments…

4 stars Awesome continuation of the series. This one picks up right where the last one left off and goes deeper into the prophecies mentioned in the first book. Same great artwork, dialogue style, and characters with a new, mysterious thief and a devious plot involving the charismatic Cleopatra. Great adventure story that is funny,…

3 stars A cute Curious George story. I usually don’t really like Curious George books. It really bugs me when George is rewarded for messing everything up. In this one, the mess isn’t all George’s fault and he helps fix the problem so it’s not all bad. Interesting story. Includes a word jumble at the…

3 stars A cute Bubble Guppies adventure featuring Guppy Girl and Bubble Boy (and some familiar police officers even show up). This is a Step 2 book with short sentences and a simple story. Good for young readers. I liked the humanization of the villain and that the Bubble Guppies help him in the end….

4 stars This is a cute, simple book about a mysterious chirping sound. This is a Level 2 book, which includes simple story and short sentences. It features Branch as well as Cloud Guy and Poppy. Nice, fun illustrations. Some of them are a little weird (Cloud Guy looking absolutely terrified for no apparent reason…
