Scorpion Mountain (The Brotherband Chronicles)
Scorpion Mountain (The Brotherband Chronicles)

Review:Ok I enjoyed the ranger apprentice series and went looking for a new book by john flanagan and I found the brother band chronicles. This series over laps,in my opinion with the ranger apprentice making it at times confusing. For instance this book gave a reference to Horace and I first thought king but then I remembered this book is set farther back than book 12 of the ranger apprentice. Overall great series but I liked the ranger apprentice better and wish more would be made. Read more

Big Girl Panties
Big Girl Panties

Review:We are early in the potty training game, but what I like about this book is:
-- I think she's learning the days of the week (via the "days of the week" underwear page)
-- She is getting motivated to wear panties. She pretty much just has accidents, but I guess that will become our starting point and she'll learn that it's better to use potty than wet herself
-- Most of all, this book is getting my daughter to think of herself as a "big girl" -- before, she would say she wasn't a big gir... Read more

Potty Book for Girls, The (Hannah & Henry Series)

Review:I purchased this book & another book (Too Big for Diapers (Ernie of seasame Street). This book was just too long of a story for my just turned two year old girl. She just wasn't interested in hearing the story, thus the book is like new on the shelf. But the Too Big for Diapers book was a big hit--she likes Ernie so that was the first thing. The story is short & too the point and the pictures of Ernie are big & bright. But this book is a long story & pastel pictures of a li... Read more

Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It

Review:In Kindle format the text is very small. There is a typo and I'm not fond of the part where the kid dives into 3 ft of water. That seems like something the author should have flagged. The info about the brain is great but it should be formatted to showcase the illustrations. Read more

Skeleton Key (Alex Rider)
Skeleton Key (Alex Rider)

Review:Gr. 9 Student Review:

“Skeleton Key” is the third book in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. It is a spy novel that follows British teenager Alex going on yet another mission. It is obviously meant for a younger audience since the main character is a 14 year old boy. Surprisingly, for a young adult novel, there were some moments where I didn’t think Alex was going to make it out alive. Overall, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Unlike other kids’ films and novels where a happy ending is... Read more

Al Capone Shines My Shoes (Tales from Alcatraz)
Al Capone Shines My Shoes (Tales from Alcatraz)

Review:Al Capone Shines My Shoes, by Gennifer Choldenko, is the second book in the series. The first book is called Al Capone Does My Shirts and was mostly for character development. My rating for Al Capone Shines My Shoes is 4 stars. The reason for this is that there is not as much action as I would like in a book like this. There are only short bursts of intense action and suspense. I really loved the book because of the characters that are very realistic and you can relate to. In addition, the book ... Read more
