4 stars Adorable story of friendship. This is classic Gerald and Piggie. So cute. Very entertaining illustrations and dialogue. These are great books to read aloud or take turns reading with children. A wonderful read. Highly recommend to fans of the Elephant & Piggie series.

3 stars A cute and fun read-aloud book. I gave this one three stars, because it was entertaining, but unlike many of the Elephant & Piggie books, it didn’t really have a lesson or moral (besides take a nap when you’re cranky, I suppose). Still a very cute book, especially all of the SNORE pages….

4 stars As with The Series of Unfortunate Events, this book is not altogether satisfying at the end and leaves more questions asked than answered, but it is still an entertaining mystery story. I enjoyed learning more about Lemony Snicket’s youth and how he got his start. I loved the mystery and the various twists…

3 stars When I was a kid, I had this thing about not reading books that everyone around me was reading. Sometimes I regret this choice. This is one of those times. I’m not sure if I would like this book better as a kid (or if I could have even finished it), but it…

4 stars A very nice extension of the Five Little Monkeys series that is sure to hit home with any book-lover. In this one, the monkeys stay up past their bedtime enjoying various books, from the sad to the scary to the funny. A very cute book. I do prefer the Five Little Monkeys books…

4 stars An absolutely precious Bad Kitty story told to ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This is so adorable. It stayed with the ABC style-story, but also added so much more. Bad Kitty learns an important lesson about the true meaning of Christmas in this super cute, heartwarming book. Absolutely adorable. As always, hilarious pictures…

4 stars Another fantastic Paddington adventure. This is such a fun series. I love reading about all of Paddington’s shenanigans. In this book, the Browns go to France and unsurprisingly, things do not go as expected. From rough roads to the Tour de France, Paddington is always sure to delight. A fun story that proves…

4 stars A simple, fun story about a young boy getting ready for school in the morning and equating each task to Superman saving the day. Great book. The illustrations are gorgeous. They alternate between the boy’s morning tasks and Superman’s epic adventures. This book is very fun and engaging. At the end, the book…

4 stars Loved it! This is such an adorable, yet empowering book. It equates everyday school-time tasks (mediating friendship fights, facing fears, accomplishing difficult assignments) with being a hero. The pictures are amazing, alternating between a little girl’s day at school and Wonder Woman’s battle with Circe. Beautiful illustrations. There is also a “Be a…
