The Crucible: (Penguin Orange Collection)
The Crucible: (Penguin Orange Collection)

Review:This is certainly an interesting story and a poignant look at the way mass hysteria can shape a culture. Though it was written during the Communist witch hunt in America and written about Puritan times, it certainly can be applied to modern times. It’s interesting to read through this and see that though the times may change, humans are rather unchangeable. Read more

Quantum Physics for Babies (Baby University)
Quantum Physics for Babies (Baby University)

Review:Illustrations left a lot to be desired, even with it being a baby book. With the explanation of atoms, neutrons, and protons, he uses the same illustrations, and instead of pointing out what each one is, he only matches the color of the word to the color of it in the drawing. Was just left disappointed all in all, and sent it back, along with the two others we purchased from this author. Great idea, subpar execution. (And it cost me about the price of one of the three books to send them back!!... Read more

A Story of Survival in WW2 Holland - The Hidden Village

Review:This was the first time I ever heard of an underground hidden community in the woods where resisters and jews lived during WW2. It was compelling reading, and though it was a fictitious story, it represented what the people did endure as the years passed and they were forced to leave their families and hide away during the day in underground huts, coming out at night. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in history or the WW2 period. Read more

National Geographic Kids Beginner's World Atlas
National Geographic Kids Beginner's World Atlas

Review:This is a beautiful atlas, and my 3 year old is obsessed with it. However, Mexico and the Central America countries are just glossed over on the broad North America page. Would have been nice to have a page on the Mexican states and one close up of the Central American countries. There is a page that shows the states/territories of Australia, but as another review mentioned New Zeeland and Oceania are missing as well. Read more
