3 stars   This book is categorized as Ready-to-Go (pre-pre-level one) and utilizes sight words, word families, and rhythm, rhyme, and repetition. It is a good book for very basic readers. The book tells a very simple story (most of the story is told in picture form with minimal words). The book mostly consists of…

3 stars Good book, similar in style to Ninjago: Ninja, Go!. The book is broken down into sections dedicated to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Each section discusses the hero and his or her powers along with a corresponding villain, then goes on with a brief battle scene (Lego violence only). The book incorporates various media…

2 stars This was an okay read. I think it was kind of doomed from the start. This is a level 1 book (Beginning to Read), but Star Wars itself is a pretty complex story. This book does its best to simplify the story, but it comes out choppy and difficult to read. You really…

5 stars This is an amazing, yet simple, book. At its base it’s a story of Rosie cooking with her grandmother. But the book covers so much more than that. In the first part of the book, Rosie makes soup with her grandmother while talking about a fight with her best friend, Bailey. In the…

4 stars Overall, a good read.I liked the storylines of this book better than the second one (but not as much as the first one). It seemed less random than book two. It is still plenty random, but just the right amount. It has all of the weirdness Lumberjane fans know and love. The thing…

4 stars Apparently I have spent my entire life thinking Little House on the Prairie was the first book in the series (it’s not, this one is) and not knowing that this book is set in Wisconsin (where I have lived for all 27 years of my life). I’ve heard of the series, but never…

4 stars I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the first one, but it was still an entertaining graphic novel. I love all of the characters (Ripley is my favorite for obvious reasons) and was excited to see Jen become a bigger part of the team. Great artwork with hilarious moments (I lost…

3 stars Growing up, I loved the Bailey School Kids series. It was a fun way to mix mystical elements into reality. In this one, the school gets a new janitor who may or not be Santa Claus. Fun story with interesting events. I’ll admit the kids are kind of jerks in this one (playing…

3 stars An adorable book that perfectly sums up what people love about Clifford. He makes mistakes sometimes, but his intentions are always good. A very nice story about Clifford doing his best to help out. Funny pictures and a cute story.

3 stars A cute book about the love between a girl and her dog, flaws and all. This is a simple book that runs through some of Clifford’s oops moments. The illustrations are very funny and there is a nice message through the book that it’s okay to make mistakes, as long as your intentions…
