Its time for bed and Howie needs a hug. He visits every family member but they are all too busy to give him a hug. A cute story for those looking for christen fiction and those not.

Howie is a cute and fluffy white dog. His little girl wants to have a tea party, but Howie doesn’t want to play the same way she does. This series of books do spotlight god and christen values but in this title I don’t like that its okay for a dog to misbehave because “god made him that way”.

I Love a good rhyming book. This is a great first reader about food, manners, and monsters. Goohlishly funn.

I am glad that the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comics are being reprinted in graphic novel format. It’s completely about nostalgia.

This series was not my cup of tea, but I also didn’t like Diary of a Wimpy Kid. That being said however, I know the perfect boys to hand these books too and I can see them going out of our teen department frequently.

One of my pet peeves with children's books is when the author tries to do a retelling or aims to fit the lyricism of a classic book and it misses. Hush Little Monster is a play on the song Hush Little Baby, but the words try to hard. The fluidity is not there and I find that annoying.

I'll be honest. David Catrow is my favorite illustrator. I love his colors, his dogs, skeletons, all of it. He has gone and put words to my favorite October song. So put the record on, and sing along to a bopping good read.

I never thought of birds having scowls until National Geographic and their friends the Angry Birds decided to point them out. This fun bird digest takes you through a selection of birds Audubon would be proud of. It tells the good and the bad and gives each bird a “rap sheet” (almost like they have been known for prison worthy behavior before).

This first Angry Birds NatGeo book will get kids more interested in real birds, but the future books in this new series are more promising for all ages. This title can be a little weighty (both physically and intellectually) for the younger kids, but just from the cover and the collaboration, kids at my library will make sure it is never on the shelf for very long.

Cool book, but way to complicated (or patience driven) for me. I tried the Spider and the dragon and almost threw away good money in frustration.
