2 stars For me, this book was just okay. I liked the idea behind it and the structure was interesting, but I prefer stories that are thorough and fleshed out. Many of these just felt like creepy descriptions rather than complete stories. I will say, I was expecting something entirely different based on the whimsical,…

3 stars 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. The wording is often vague so I think it is suited for more advanced readers than very young ones….

4 stars This is definitely an Awwww book, one of those books you can’t read without saying “awwww”, at least in your head. It’s a very cute story about two pirates who are horrible at being pirates. Lots of silly word play and clever ideas. This is a very good book. A funny story, sure to…

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…
