3 stars I read the second book in the series before this one, but it feel pretty solitary about them both. Interesting story. I enjoyed the epistolary style, but I could see how it may not resonate with young children. The story is really driven by the letters so it may be a bit confusing….

2 stars This is the first book I have read in the Polk Street Kids series. Overall, a good story with a nice morale at the end. Not a lot happens, but it was an interesting way to incorporate fiction and non-fiction. Some awkwardness in events that were a little confusing such as Beast telling…

4 stars Such a well-written and enjoyable book. I love this story. It is written in such a simple way, but feels perfectly complete. A fun read about outstanding those who want to do you harm.

3 stars A cute little story about how to make getting ready for bed fun. I enjoyed the rhyming and silly misadventures the T-Rex gets into.Fun read with a nice story.

3 stars This is an adaption of an episode from the TV series. A cute story with a very nice ending. I liked the moral at the end of the story about trying your hardest and doing the best you can. Simple story that is a bit repetitive, but still a good read.

3 stars I made the mistake of picking up a book with a dog on the cover. I almost stopped reading after the first chapter when the dog gets his by a car. As soon as Kat starts talking about how great her dog is on the first page, I thought, “Oh no, it’s going…

3 stars Found this is the Little Free Lending Library by my house and, as a big fan of superheroes and picture books, I picked it up to give it a read. This is a fun story about mixed-up super powers. The illustrations are cool, because of the superhero mashups. I ended up bringing this…

2 stars Thoughts on Rapunzel’s Royal Wedding: Kind of interesting, because it is basically what was happening at the actual wedding during Rapunzel’s Wedding Day while Maximus and Pascal were trying to get the rings back. Cute story, but not much happened. It was just basically what Rapunzel had to do to get ready for her wedding…
