4 stars A great little book about making (big) friends. This is another wonderful addition to the Elephant and Piggie series. Fun, simple story with nice illustrations. I love all of the facial expressions and creative dialogue. This is a very fun book to reading along with young readers, having each person pick a different…

4 stars For Mike Maihack’s first graphic novel, this one is actually pretty amazing. Cleopatra is transported into a futuristic academy on another planet and has to partake in Indian-Jones-style missions to prepare her for her role as messiah of the galaxy. Oh, and there’s an organization run by cats. What’s not to love? Great…

3 stars A cute Curious George story. I liked this story because it is rare to find a Curious George story where he is not rewarded for making a mess. In this one, he actually helps his friends and doesn’t get into trouble. The story itself wasn’t all that interesting, but the illustrations were cute…

3 stars Finally! A Curious George book where George doesn’t make a mess of everything (besides cluttering up the fire station a bit). I usually don’t like Curious George books very much, because George is usually inadvertently rewarded for messing things up. It drives me nuts. Thankfully, this is actually a pretty good Curious George…

2 stars A cute enough story. Growing up, I never liked Curious George. It always bugged me that George does naughty things (usually unknowingly), but then never gets in trouble (or worse yet, is rewarded). At least use the situation as a teaching moment. No wonder George is always messing things up. Nobody bothers to…

3 stars This is a really hard review to write. Overall, I liked the book, but it is kind of hard to put into words what I did and did not like. I found the book interesting enough. The story was unique in it’s overall arch, although it utilized a lot of not-so-creative story concepts…

4 stars Definitely weird, but I liked it. A few weeks ago, I watched Jack and the Cuckoo-clock Heart on Netflix and enjoyed it. I then downloaded the corresponding album by Dionysos and fell in love. So of course I had to track down a copy of the book to make my obsession complete. Overall,…

4 stars Another silly, fun, creative adventure, starring Gerald and Piggie. Such a great series and this book is no exception. I love the creativity in this one especially. Nice illustrations, fun dialogue. This is such a great series to read with children or for older children to read to younger siblings. Good beginning reading….

3 stars This is a cute idea for a book. I like how it expands on the Elephant and Piggie universe. The story itself is funny, but I wouldn’t say it’s as good as the actual Elephant and Piggie books. The concept was too circular and it doesn’t really go anywhere. But it is still…
