 I really enjoyed this book.  Can a donkey in a party hat fool everyone at unicorn school into believing she is a unicorn?  I bet she can.  This book was lots of fun and the illustrations were a wild party.  I wish the last page was just a tad different.  Instead of changing the name of the school, maybe something like everyone can be a unicorn if they want it.  The lesson in the book is inclusion.  That lesson comes over well, and the ending does work, I just wish it was a tad different.

 “Mistakes happen, but creative thinking can turn blunders into wonders.” And what a wonder this book is.  It uses word play and found objects to make images, and make the word play fit the illustrations.  This would be a hoot at story time, and a fun make and take to let kids use found objects to make their own puns or illustrations.  All in all this is a great read that I would put on display over and over again.

 This is such a perfect book.  Patrick loves his sister's pair of purple polka dot tights.  Loves them!  He wears them, he plays with them, he holds rescue operations.  They are much more than a pair of tights to him.  His parents are completely accepting.  This is just Patrick being Patrick.  And I loved every single page.  Shout out to the illustrator who helped bring this wonderful story to life.

DID NOT FINISH

 This is officially a DNF for me.  I lasted 4 hours. I think it’s because it's an audiobook.  I have restarted it twice and I like it while I’m in it, but once I walk away or take a break I can barely remember what happened.  The switching narrators and timelines didn’t help anything.  I liked the story line so i think that tells me to pick this up in print or digital and leave the audiobook for someone else. 

If you like to have a little creativity in your yard, and something to really attract winged life forms then this is the book for you. This book comes with patterns and ideas to make these fun homes. Many designs are not for the novice wood worker, but even those who have not intention of actually making these habitats, will find this an interesting book to flip through.

Mike Norton has challenged himself to a 24 hour comic event every year. This title is a compilation of years 2009 through 2011. The illustrations are fun and I just love the pug (maybe because my parents have one). How ever, the titles are bound together and while they do have a theme, they do not flow as well together as I think they should. Overall, not bad, but VERY adult. This is not a title to pick up for your kids.

Most people dream of getting a promotion, but dread getting a new boss. Vanessa Virture gets both and she gets to go to work events with the geeky Rory as well. While his attraction to here is obvious, she is completely oblivious. Over all it is an okay title, but I find all the drinking unnecessary. I also found the entire story too predictable and drawn out. People who really like this author, will probably like this book, but I don’t like a “heroin” who lives to party.

A cat’s day is very different from a dog’s day. But they can be picked up and perked up as well. Fun pictures and easy vocabulary make this a great book to check out for little cat lovers everywhere.
