52 Family Friendly Experiments from Around the House (Lab Series)
52 Family Friendly Experiments from Around the House (Lab Series)

Review:This book is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to introduce children to fun science experiments. My 3 year old daughter loves this book. So far her favorite one was the "Rock Candy" experiment. She loved checking on them daily, and of course getting to eat it at the end. This book has really easy to follow directs and awesome pictures. I also like that a lot of the ingredients are items you can already find in your house. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

Coyote Peterson’s Brave Adventures - Wild Animals in a Wild World

Review:This book is really well-written, but I bought it for my 9 year old son who loves Coyote Peterson's YouTube channel and it's not something he can easily read alone. It's probably written more toward maybe a 12 year old's capabilities, but again--very well written and great animal adventures. Read more

I Stink! (Kate and Jim Mcmullan)

Review:My nephew is obsessed with "trash trucks" so this book was absolutely perfect for him. Though he can't read, he can recite the whole book to me because he memorized it based on the pages and he's only 2 1/2! Kate McMullan is a great author especially for boys! Read more

Diary of a Worm
Diary of a Worm

Review:Some of the content provides examples that I would not want to pass on to any child. Here's just one example of the main character worm's narrative: "My older sister thinks she's so pretty. I told her that no matter how much time she spends looking in the mirror, her face will always look just like her rear end."

How about this one? (Only girls are depicted in the picture on the page associated with this quote: ""I snuck up on some kids in the park. They didn't hear me coming. I wiggled r... Read more

Sharks and Other Sea Monsters - Encyclopedia Prehistorica
Sharks and Other Sea Monsters - Encyclopedia Prehistorica

Review:LOVE LOVE LOVE Sabuda's books - my only caution is that you give them to a child when they are a little older and can take care of the lovely cut out pages that pop up - they are all very detailed and are a genuine keepsake for a home library. Best to have mom around when viewing if under 10.
Great resource - try the America The Beautiful as well! Read more

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - The Original Screenplay

Review:I love Potter's universe and Rowling's writing. I personally am having a time with reading a screenplay. I will enjoy the book when its released. The story is as always great fun, just the screenplay style is not my preference. Read more

Roaring Rockets (Amazing Machines)
Roaring Rockets (Amazing Machines)

Review:I really like the book because it has some interesting twists that keeps my son engaged. It's a fun story to read and talk about together. I like the storyline and the amount of text on each page keeps my 2-year old engaged. The only reason why I didn't give the book 5-starts is because of the characters in the book - I think they could have been made much cooler. Read more
