I love this series. This particular book is told though letter to the parents like the Plantzilla books. And of course the illustrations are the best part of the story.
I like this series. Henry is a book nerd and puts his skills to their best uses.
It's a great way to talk about new neighbors moving in, but the book has no staying power.
It should surprise no-one that follows me that I am a fan of David Catrow. And its books like this that are why. When you take the illustrations of Catrow and add it to the words of Lasky you get a dynamite book. A unusual take on the emperor's cloths, and a great one at that.
I love a kid that can keep himself busy. Even if that kid is a dog. And the amount of fun this dog has would make anyone else jealous.
this is a fun book for Halloween. Really fun was the Monsterator at the end that lets you make your own monster.
For all future astronauts needing a step up. These brain games are sometimes easy, and sometimes very hard, but they help kids begin to understand the types of things they will need to know as a future scientist. I really enjoyed the book, even the puzzles that made me think a little too hard. Definitely going on the Holiday list for kids I know.
I so wanted to like this book. Unfortunately I can not. I was looking forward to a book about a girl who didn’t want to be a princess in the first place, but no this girl wants to be a princess. She wants to wear a nice dress, have servants who do things for her, etc. That is until she realizes that princesses can not bake cookies with mom, or ride bikes with their best friend. Ughhh. So the wrong message to send. It should have been more Kate Middleton, and that Princesses can do those things, instead of they can’t. At first I loved the illustrations, until the one with mom in heels and an apron, telling her daughter she can't make cookies because she’s a princess.
The cover of this book made me think it was going to be a comedy book about tricks you could pull on your co-workers. Instead I found a helpful manual on how to get along with people, and to live with, or confront problems in an organization. Helpful, and I can see my library adding it, but please change the cover to something more serious.
