Two brothers build a tree house and spend a summer going on adventures and having a great time. But time moves on and brothers grow up. But on a night of a power outage, the brothers rediscover fun in their own tree house. This is a heartwarming picture book.

A wonderfully illustrated graphic novel with an imaginative story.

If you have any knowledge of Uncle Johns Bathroom Readers then you know they are full of useless trivia and gross out accounts of human nature. And they are completely addictive. This reader designed for kids has a variety of topics that each have a mini, a short, and a bit longer components that make it easy reading for those with the shortest attention span. Plus with current references kids will find it fun and relevant to their age.

The Fetish Box has been broken into and Mary has been “broken in”. Part two ends in a better spot then part one, but I cannot get there soon enough. If I was you I would wait till they compile all the parts into one binding.

Johnny Dalton has had no easy breaks in life. He was a prostitute who experienced police brutality sending him out west for a better life. This “better” life included kidnapping by ruthless criminals who expect Johnny to cater to all their whims in and out of the bedroom. They send him into town for supplies where he meets, befriends, and falls for the sheriff. To get his happily ever after he will have to escape his captors and convince the sheriff he is a good guy.

A boy’s sea side adventure gets bigger then planned when he is pulled under the water to the home of the sea bots. He has a fun day, which is also fun for the reader.

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.

I have always loved Kipling’s stories about how animals evolved to what they are now. Once in a creative writing class as a kid I wrote my own about why snakes do not have feet. But, no matter how hard I try and I cannot compare to the master. I love this graphic take on his stories. The illustrations are great, they layout nice, and I love the way they introduce the characters.

They should never have split this book in three pieces the first book ends just before the good stuff, the second book was too short, and then there is really nothing left for the last part. It was just a conclusion, a short unsatisfying one at that. I think if all there parts were bound in one book, I would have liked part 3 better.

Dylan the Dog has lots of things to do today: play with a ball, wake people up, and chase butterflies. However, the most important thing that MUST be done is finding the big fat cat that lives next door. If I did not know any better I would think this was my dog. It’s cute and would not be a bad edition to any library collection.
