4 stars Another great collection of stories about Paddington bear. From photography to holiday shopping, Paddington is sure to entertain with his silly adventures. A nice read with wonderful sketches of Paddington and all of his misadventures. Sure to delight and warm the heart.

3 stars I remember loving this book growing up and rereading it multiple times. I found my old copy while cleaning out my mother’s house and thought I’d give it another re-read. Overall, I liked the book. I love all of the weird twists and turns it takes. The basis around the wishing tree is…

4 stars I read The Harvard Lampoon’s, Nightlight, a few years ago and thought it was worth a few laughs so when I found this in the clearance section, I thought it was worth a try. Unlike Twilight, I actually like The Hunger Games so I wasn’t sure how this would go. However, I freaking…

3 stars Good read. This is the first Wishbone book I have read, but I enjoyed the TV series as a kid. The dual plot system works well in the book, jumping between the Treasure Island story and the barn story. Both are full of adventure. There is a decent bit of violence (as would…

2 stars I found this book in the Little Free Lending Library. I watched a few episodes of the show when I was younger, so I thought I’d pick it up for a quick read. It was an okay book. It is actually based on two different episodes of Zoey 101, which is a little…

3 stars Good book, quick read. Growing up, I was obsessed with Harry Potter (let’s be real, I still am). I am sure I read this book a few times growing up, but I didn’t remember much from it, so when I came across my old copy of it, I figured it was time for…

5 stars This book is absolutely beautiful. I have read the original book a handful of times and loved it. I did not think that I could possibly love it more. But then the illustrated edition came out and it is spectacular. The same amazing story that captured my imagination as a kid, now with…

3 stars Definitely a weird book. The blurb on the cover told me it would be, “Harry Potter meets Lemony Snicket in a high-tech setting.” This was mostly true, but the only comparison to Harry Potter this book can claim is that it has some magical elements: mythical creatures, magic wands, spells. But even the…

4 stars A very nice continuation of the Paddington stories. I love that this collection is themed as Paddington tries to help the Brown family and all the mayhem that ensues from building a magazine rack to going to do laundry. Humorous stories that will make the reader fall in love with Paddington all over…

3 stars A cool book that is as educational and as it is entertaining. A great way to learn about quicksand. The information is simple and easy to understand while still incorporating a fun story. A nice way to learn. And I really liked the ending.
