This is not a book for storytime. However, it is still important. Dealing with the death of a loved one is not easy. Adults can barely handle it, how can we expect children to do so. Yolanda has one simple question, Where is Mom? She knows her mother has died, but where did she go. A touching book that helps explain that mom is everywhere.

I usually like the Dear Dragon books, but I just don't care for this one. I don't know if it's the story or the illustrations, but it just doesn’t seem to live up to the books of the past.

Pig wants to know who is disturbing her sleep. Was it a bird, or owl, or both of them playing tricks. Even when upset Pig needs to remember her manners and to be nice. Picked for Illinois Reads 2016.

A child’s night time prayers are turned into a picture book. A fine a general boo. I do have a complaint with the layout of the words. The story uses too many bold words. Sometimes to this reader, the wrong words seem emphasized. I would suggest just leaving the “Thank You” to be bold and maintain a constant font and size for the rest of the words on a page.

This is an adult coloring book that is intended to tell a story. It is done incredibly well. Our little girl is having a birthday, but her parents can not be there. They left tons of presents, and the girl decides she has so many she wants to give them away. We join her on a bizarre ride through dreamland as she delivers presents. The story tells you it's her birthday, but it could also work for traditional gift giving holidays. Well illustrated, and I want to add this color book to my collection.

Kids have minds that wander. If you talk to teachers, they can tell you about the kids who can not sit still or pay attention. This books equates a kid’s wandering mind to the actions of a puppy. If you do not watch it closely it will bolt for the door. It reminds kids that like when dealing with a puppy, you need to stop and take three deep breaths and begin again. I like the message of this book but find many of the rhymes harsh. Or maybe it wasn’t intended to rhyme which is why occasionally it doesn’t. I think kids will like the illustrations because it looks like a Saturday morning cartoon.

Have you ever seen a hippo fly? No this is not the start of a bad knock knock joke, but a real question for Harvey. He wants to fly so bad, and his friends want to help. He takes advice from a bird, a hedgehog, and even an ostrich. But does he fly? Read yourself to find out.

Rosa wants to be a big help to her mama. When mama goes to the store she tugs grandpa on an adventure to put the laundry away. You can make anything an adventure, even catching a sock fish for dinner.

A gem found in the Federal Documents files. While dated this book is still an excellent resource to teach kids about natural disasters and how to be prepared for them.

No bad. It does what is supposed to do. and it looks like a coloring book (even though it is not). Overall a good resource for those trying to teach their kids about storms.
