 Love it.  Princess Pearl is just one of a set of Doctors who fly around on Zog.  However the uncle the King does not think princesses can be doctors.  That is until he needs her lifesaveing medicine.  I love this book.  The message, the rhymes, the cadence, and the illustrations.  It all works. 

 This book tries to rhyme and tries to have a cadence, but none of it works.  And the story is lackadaisical.  It’s about everyone being sad that Santa isn’t coming but he is coming.  It’s also about a poor boy who knows he is too poor for Santa to bring toys and gifts.  It's about how everyday people can be santa.  The message is there, but it’s convoluted and not well laid out. 
slow-paced

 Giving this an interesting because I am not quite sure what to make of it.  Cowboys are sad they will miss christmas and don’t have the traditions they used to have when they are kids.  So they try recreating them with what they have on the trail.  The ending is what has me confused.  I liked the book, but feel like I missed something. 
fast-paced

 This was a fun book about where and when you can wear underwear. Putin it on Veggies just ups the funny factor. 
funny lighthearted medium-paced

 This is the Go the F*** to sleep book that you could actually read to your child.  The illustrations are not my favorite but for a parody book they work.  The rhymes can be harsh, but i don’t care.  This is meant to make adults laugh, and it does that quite well. 
adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

 The gotcha at the end is just one thing that makes this book so much fun.  The cadence when you read it just shouts with joy.  The illustrations are fun.  This is just a perfect snow day read.

I feel about this book the way I do it’s companion about the Red Panda.  It would be hard to do for story time, but could be a great puppet show if you could get enough hands in.  The story is much better read directly on a lap, or to yourself.  Saying that it is wonderful, and colorful, and a pleasure to read.

 This was a fun letter hunt adventure.  The rhymes were nice, the cadence fun, and the illustrations put it on top to be a book that could be read at storytime over and over again.

 Not my favorite of the Silly Dilly books, but it is still fun.  
dark funny fast-paced

Lots of rhyming fun with mythical and scary screamers. Everything from Beauty's beast to gargoyles, and sphinxes.  This was a great read and Grimly’s illustrations were the icing on this literary cake.
