Freddie is back with his friends in a new book about controlling you’re not motions this time we’re talking about bugging out or making a big deal out of something small they are a great lessons to be had by all with fun and colorful illustrations it’s a little long so probably not for story time but great for classroom or at home. 

 What a wonderful story. A look at a true life event of Albert Einstein and a singer name Marion. This event is little known but is a great way to learn about segregation for various people.  The illustrations perfectly fit the book and it belongs on the shelf right next to all the Little People Big World and Who Is .. etc. This book is sure to be read for years to come both in libraries in class and at home. 

 Who has time for the existential crisis of a cat. Not me. Can’t get into this book the topic is boring and the illustrations don’t keep me interested. Apparently this book is not for me maybe for someone but not me. 

 You better already have patience when you pick up this book. It is overly long. It follows the typical pattern found in a Boys Town book.  It presents a problem, tells you how to cope with the problem,  and gives three examples of what could happen and what one could do. The lesson is fine, it works, but the story is way way way too long. I realize the books about practicing patience and waiting for the next thing but you have so many antsy pants in story time. I just don’t think this one would work. It could work for a classroom setting or at home but in general get a better editor or change up your formula. 

 This book is told in diary entries of a girl 12 going on 13 over twenty years when the towers fell.  The book is a bit long and overly drawn out, but I love how true to life it is/was.  It’s a fictionalized biography of the author.  It had a lot of heart.  While not as funny as Dork Diaries, or Wimpy Kid, I think many readers who like those series will find a lovely story within these pages. 

 This was so much fun.  Thank you Abrahams and Middle Grade Magic for giving me a chance to read this book. I want a copy for my private shelve.  The rhymes and the cadence rock.  The author knew what they were doing with puns and the story and it’s a joy to read.  This will be awesome for story time!.  Its right up there with Punk Farm.  Totally Awesome READ! 

 OMG!  This book is almost perfect.  The reader follows one family though a year in a short rhyming word adventure.  The illustrations are lovely and lively while the story is blissfully blimey.  In other words, pick up this book.  It’s sure to make someone smile. 

 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.  Shannon Hale has done it again and hats off to Leuyen Phan for such fun illustrations.  And be sure to pay attention to the end papers as they are part of the story.  This book is so fun.  You can be a kitty or a unicorn or you could be a kitty corn.  LOVE IT!!! 

 Not everyone is good at everything.  Some people can not catch popcorn, and some can not do cartwheels (that’s me), and some can not draw octopuses.  But art is in the eye of the beholder.  And after Arlo makes a friend, he learns to trust and believe in himself.  I love how all skin colors are represented in this book.  It was a fun read and the illustrator did a great job getting the point across. 

 This is a cute story about a dog who wants to make sure his master has a very good day.  He goes wandering off, traipsing across Venice to see his favorite people and make sure all is set for later.  This book was fun and the illustrations are a great complement.
