I have never really been a fan of Pride and Prejudice. Ive seen multiple versions of the movie and loved them, but  I have never made it through the book.  And unfortunately I didn’t make it through this one either.  I really tried, but I just didn’t care.  I like the premise.  Elizabeth bennett wants to be a lawyer and practice with her dad, but she is a lady and lady’s done work.  Mystery abound, but it’s not entertaining enough to the reader/listerner (as I was reading an audiobook) to care enough to finish the story. 

 How can you write a book about john lennon, even a book for kids and not mention his death.  Not in the story or the biographical notes at the back.  It’s not like he died in his sleep.  This is a big part of his life and it is completely left out.  Not such a good book this time Little People Big World. 

 A simple book about colors that rhymes and has patterns.  Its fun to read and to say.  The illustrations are great and approachable.  All in all this is a great board book. 

This book is interesting because it gives the read a view into traditions of a indigenous peoples, in this case the Nation of Inniniwak.  It’s a different type of story about how heritage and traditions are passed from family member to family member, and how stars chose their family to become babies.  And lets not forget about the amazing illustrations also done by an indigenous person of the Tlingit Nation, also known as People of the Tides.

 The story is simple.  It’s a young pig telling the reader about their desire to go to the moon and what it will take to get there.  It reads and looks immature.  The pictures could have been done by a kid and there are times where it seems like the story is missing something.  Pig gathers supplies, okay tell me what supplies not just show it as an illustration.  

 This book is typical of its series, an introduction to a famous historical figure.  This time we look at Charles Darwin.  The only thing I don’t care for is that they focus so much on why the person is famous, and not other aspects of their life. Maybe something fun or memorable. 

 I love this series so much.  If you are going to reinvent a classic fairy tale this is totally how you do it.  I would love to see this entire series made into a show.  Hey Netflix, you listening! 

 This is an interesting way to discover how various birds nest.  It’s a parent reading to a child. The refrain “you’ll nest here with me” is used sporadically to tell a child that birds may be in the trees, seas, and sands, but you will be by me forever.  It was simple, and lovely.  The illustrations are a perfect match. 

 This book is set up like a class on unicorns for kids.  It’s a bunch of funny infographics with an all over theme.  For kids one and one it could be a very fun read, but I think it’s too convoluted or complicated for storytime. 

 This was really fun.  The book by itself.  However, I was lucky enough to be reading a library copy that contained someone's notes. They had a post- it note on over half the pages with comments or questions.  So not only did I really enjoy this book, I enjoyed the experience of reading it through someone else's eyes.
