I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a way to teach kids about storms and damage, but in a fun an uplifting way. No scare tactics or dire warnings. Just a crab looking for the perfect home.

This nonfiction book is presented in a fun a friendly way. I love that they mainly use graphics instead of real pictures. (Seriously, who wants to see real pictures of poop). It’s all about microbes in your body and in your world. It discusses good and bad microbes, and how the reader can have a healthier future. I like that it has a glossary, and an index.

A very interesting book. I like that it specifically focuses on artificial eyes, and the various types, past, present, and future. Well written and full on information, which reads like a Hi-Lo chapter book.

Thorfinn want to make a feast for the visiting King and Queen, but viking hate fish. His dad sends him and the worst ship's crew ever to visit an uncle who will teach him everything he knows about fish. Along the way there will be storms, Scots, and sea monsters. And maybe, just maybe they will be able to treat the King and Queen to something unexpected. A early chapter book, but one without staying appeal.

This is a very weird book. It is a mix of fiction and nonfiction that takes a bit of getting used to because it’s not a standard flow. The dog is always correcting the wolf about something, and then you have that something explained by the dog, and sometimes by an omniscient being. It feels as long as it is and while the illustrations and concept are interesting, it’s not interesting enough to keep most of the readers it is geared towards in the reading mood.

I really like how this book is broken down. It's a doodle book, so libraries, do not purchase intending for it not to be written in. Each page gives some example of a fairy, or a part of a fairy, such as hair, or wings, or an expression, and shows the reader how to draw it. The facing page (or sometimes even the same page) is a place for the reader to do their own practice.. A well done book for future fantasy artists.

Everyone needs to go to school. Cows need to learn to chew their cud, and make cow patties. But one very special cow makes for very special lessons.

Zoomer and his family are getting ready for Christmas when they are visited by aliens. Only Zoomer’s tricycle will make the ship fly again.
