4 stars Oh my goodness, these books are too freaking cute. So pun-tastic. I love the theme of friendship that runs through the entire book. And the illustrations are simple yet fun. This tiny graphic novel is broken down into three little comics that are perfect for beginning graphic novel enthusiasts. The book also contains…

4 stars   This is an adorable book about sharing. While I don’t think children should always be required to share treats with their friends, I like the progression of the book and the points Gerald makes (Piggie loves ice cream, Piggie will like this flavor, what if Piggie is sad right now- this will…

4 stars I received this book through The Reading Room/Bookstr in exchange for an honest review. I requested this book because I liked the cover and the idea of a witch who is dyslexic. I was blown away when I finally read it. This is the first book I have read in either of the…

3 stars I feel horribly betrayed by this book. I read the third book in this series (found it in the lending library) and enjoyed it, so when I saw the first book as an audiobook at the library, I figured it would be a good read. It all started well enough. Fudge is his…

3 stars The second volume finishes up the story of Arrietty. Since this was taken directly from the movie, I knew what was going to happen, but I still enjoyed reading it. It is nice to see stills of the artwork from the movie, especially the scenery. Beautiful. This book is just stills taken from…
