This was a wonderful read.  There is a history lesson and a great story.  How did Crayola crayons come to be.  How did they choose the colors.  How did they get them to sell.  It’s a marvel to hear about a man who chose to search for a way to bring color to kids worlds.

I liked this book, but didn’t think it had the magic of the first one.  Unicorn is used to all eyes on him.  But now people have moved on and Unicorn will do annoying things to get the attention back.

I think I am one of the few people who did not really care for this book.  The illustrations are great, heck they are amazing. But the story is lacking.  The word play is catchy but some of the concepts might be hard for those with a limited vocabulary.  I like the idea of the book, but not the completed vision.

The story started out slow and a bit dull.  Red Reading hood already knew what to do when encountering a wolf, because she read about it.  But when the Wolf asks for a surprise, he doesn't know what to , but aquences to his request.  The ending is what really made this book sing.

This book works really well.  It stands out from other books for it’s simplicity of story and it’s simplicity of illustration.

I have not read a single book in this series.  I can not see why they are so popular.  The cadence is spot on, the rhymes steady, the illustrations cheerful and eye catching.  In this story it’s up to the elf not to get caught and spring any traps set for santa.  It's a super fun and super quick story.

 Very cute, with great illustrations.  Owl and Rabbit take issues with each other's houses and try to outdo the other, until it all falls down.  A lesson in not need to “keep up with the Jone’s” and how to get along with the neighbors. 

 This book is interesting.  I’m not quite sure if it is supposed to be showing off evolution or just the life cycle of a tadpole.  It could work for either. I really love the rhyming pattern and sound words like Bloop.  They would be great fun at story time.  However, the cadence is all over the place and causes the story to act as a tongue twister. 

 I wish the cadence was better.  The story was nice and simple, and would work really well at story time.  What really makes the book stand out are the illustrations, which are soft but powerful and fun at the same time. 

 AHHHHHHHH!!! How perfect is this book?  I can clearly see what all the fuss is about.  You may be born with a label, but all that matters is to be who you are, not who the label is.  LOVE everything about this.
