Review:I have a seven-year-old daughter who adores these books. She reads them on her own, and she only needs a little help while making her way through them. I actually like tha tpart of it though because it means that th ebook is challenging her. She truly enjoys the series. Read more

Review:I love these American Girl writers. We had a book for Girls that my daughter just loved and honestly, consulted in times of need with middle school relationships, girl drama, etc.
We have an open policy in our house that any question will be met with an honest, thoughtful answer and privacy will be maintained. You will never be mocked, lied to or made fun of for your questions. But even I know that kids sometimes want answers without having to ask Mom or Dad. Even older siblings can be da... Read more
Review:Lovely, haunting, poetic book -- for adults.
But, for a child, nostalgia for "the way we all used to play outdoors in an abandoned lot, decades ago" doesn't make a very interesting topic. Certainly there have been no repeat requests for this book at story hour. And mine is not a child who shuns the haunting, the subtle, the poetic. Read more
Review:"Library Lion" is a wonderful story for children as young as two through primary grades. Meant to be read aloud, this story has an engaging plot, wonderful pictures, and many interesting details with great vocabulary about the library and how to appropriately use it. I can be read using different voices for the Librarian and her assistant.My grandchildren all LOVE the story, and ask for it by name whenever I visit. Read more
Review:The book deals with a boy who witnessed his father murdered by an Epic (a person with superpowers). Said Epic became the dictator of Chicago. The whole world is controlled by Epics, none of which seems to be good.
The book is an interesting twist on superhero stories. Instead of the superheroes protecting civilians, the super powered people take over.
Besides the book having already a great hook, the book is a really fun read. The book follows a group of civilians who try to take d... Read more
Review:This book has three really short, engaging little stories in it, that all follow the same pattern. There are three different baby-caregiver pairs (in other words, it's not just a mommy and a baby three times), and and the characters have different skin tones. But the text is really difficult to read. The multi-colored font used on the cover is used through the whole book - which sounds like a good idea, until you're trying to figure out where the letters end and the similarly-colored backgrounds...

Review:My grandson loves these Olivier Dunrea books so I had to get a set for my new granddaughter too. There's not much reading per page which is great with little ones who like to help turn the pages and these gooslings are so cute, who could resist! Read more
Review:I read this book as a assignment for reading class and I loved it, the overall plot was very sad but relieving toward the end. I recommend the book to any one that has a liking in YA (young adult) books. I did like that it had such a complex plot to it, when I turned the page I didn't know if it would be sad or happy. If you are someone sensitive to sadder stories and don't sit well with death (especially young children) I don't record their book to you. Other than that it was a book worthy of 5... Read more
