A lot of fun and honestly, better than the Agatha Christie mysteries. This book had so much attitude and I loved it! I got major Miss Fisher vibes and I can't wait to continue the series!

I don't know why, but I just feel like I would enjoy this series so much more as an anime. 🤷‍♀️

2021 really is the year of finding amazing manga series! This is an automatic new favourite that I will be 100% buying a copy of! The characters were so much fun and I loved their conversations and adventures. I can't wait for volume 2!

I definitely enjoyed the second half more than the first half. I know that a lot of people have loved this book and I think had I been in any other mood, I would've been able to appreciate it fully, so this is absolutely a me, not you, scenario. I didn't vibe with this book for the most part but, I liked that the main characters weren't perfect and they had their flaws, it made them so much more relatable. Don't let this gorgeous, bright cover distract you - this is a very heavy book that tackles A LOT of difficult topics, please take a look at the trigger warnings before picking it up!

First off, I just wanted to start by saying that I'm usually more of a visual reader than a physical one, but the texture of those pages? 💯💯💯 I couldn't get enough, it was so nice to flip the pages!! I absolutely adored the illustrations in this book and I loved all of the little pages showing different forms of water, so cute! I also really liked the inclusions of the Water Cycle illustration at the end, as well as the facts! I think this book is such a fun talking point about water and I definitely recommend it! 

What I've loved so much about reading these books to write these reviews, is how iferent each illustrations style has been! This was different to the others but I still really enjoyed it! I especially loved the full-page illustrations! My favourites were the treehouse page and the pages where they were looking at the moon! I love how creative this book was and I think it would be perfect for any father/son (or daughter!) duos out there! 

Okay, so this is definitely the longest book I'll be reviewing today but it's also my favourite! I loved how informative and easy to read this was, and I thought Laura Fanelli did an amazing job with the illustrations! I can't pick just one favourite page because they all stood out to me, but if I had to pick just three I would recommend taking a look at How The Amazon Rainforest Works (pages 14 & 15), How Polar Sea Ice Is Formed (pages 22 & 23) and How Coral Reefs Get Bleached (pages 46 & 47). I think this is a fantastic resource for kids (and adults) and if you pick up any of the books from this blog post, I hope you read this one!

 A super cute, quick read! This was adorable and I absolutely loved the font and the illustrations!
