Personal rating of 5 out of 5 stars
5 stars I’ll start off by saying I have not watched the film yet. I saw a recommendation for it, but don’t have Apple TV+. The library had a copy of the graphic novel so I thought I’d read it to see if the film was worth pursuing. After reading the graphic novel adaptation, I…

5 stars The grossest Captain Underpants adventure so far. Even in audio format, the descriptions are stomach churning, complete with disgusting sound effects. Absolutely hilarious and very entertaining. This far into the series and I am solidly enjoying the audio format. I loved these books as a kid and wasn’t sure how well they’d translate…

5 stars An absolutely gorgeous novella packed with heart. There are sad books that are written solely to make the reader sad and that’s fine. This is not one of those books.

Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton 5 stars An absolutely stunning book about the first day of kindergarten. I really liked the emphasis on confidence and enjoying the experience. Understandably many children’s books on this topic focus on the more negative aspects of fear, worry, and anxiety. This was a fresh perspective of tackling the day as…

5 stars A fantastic read, start to finish. I didn’t really know what to expect going in to this, but I am always interested in fairy tale retellings. This one has the unique premise of telling the “real” story of Hansel and Gretel by reworking multiple Grimm stories such as “Faithful Johannes”, “The Seven Ravens”,…
