3 stars Good introduction to the Wonder Woman movie. This book basically gives Wonder Woman’s backstory, from her birth, childhood, and training sessions to meeting Steve Trevor and leaving Themyscira. Not a whole lot going on plot-wise, it really is just an introduction to the Wonder Woman story. But it is still an interesting book,…

3 stars A good introduction to the DC Super Hero Girls series. This book basically takes you though who’s who and what’s what at Super Hero High. There is no plot or story in this one, it is just an introduction. I have not watched the show, but I’m assuming it is the same stuff…

2 stars I understand this is a Step 2 book, but the writing leaves much to be desired. I think you’d have to have seen the Cars 3 movie before reading this book to have any idea of what is going on. The book basically focuses on who each character is, giving a brief description…

2 stars I think there is some useful information in this book. But there is a lot of other stuff going on as well and much of it is outdated. Guiliano’s basic premise is that French women don’t get fat, because they eat slowly and appreciate their food. They don’t mindlessly binge. They don’t deny…

3 stars A simple, humorous book about how to break overwhelming tasks into manageable chunks. No, there is nothing overly insightful in the book. It is all pretty obvious stuff, but sometimes you just need someone to tell you to do it in order to do it. This book can help with that. Written in…

5 stars Loved it! An awesome graphic novel filled with adventure, hilarity, and PUNS! Well-written and very intriguing with great artwork. This is an amazing graphic novel. My only complaint was the various typos in the Lumberjanes Field Manual pages, but they are pretty minor and not all that important to the overall story. The…

3 stars A good adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline in graphic novel form. There was nothing wrong with this book. It was good. It follows the story with interesting illustrations. What hurts this graphic novel most is that the film adaptation (which has entirely different artwork) came out a year after this book. Because of…

4 stars I love the “Old Lady” series and this one was no exception. I especially liked this one, because of all of the interesting animal facts told within the rhymes. A great way to incorporate learning into a silly, fun story that kids will want to read again and again. There are also little…

3 stars A cute little book about the power of sisterly love. This is a good book for fans of the My Little Pony show. The story is basically the same as the episode, “The Gift of Maud Pie”, and the pictures are pulled right from the show. A good easy-reader that is entertaining and…

4 stars What starts out as a simple story about honesty, turns into an adorable tale of friendship. Very cute book. I really enjoyed the ending. As with the other Elephant and Piggie books, the text is simple, the pictures are cute, and it is fun to read together with different voices. This one has…
