This is one of those books were reviewing a digital galley does not work. This is a sound book. As you read about various musical instruments you are supposed to press an icon to hear that instruments sound. In the galley there are no sounds. And unfortunately without the sound, this story really has no feet to stand on.

A lovely book about being the new dino in school. The illustrations are bright and vivid and wonderfully pop from the pages.

Space, the final frontier. But getting there is a technological marvel. For those of us who never get to be astronauts, its fun to dream, and to draw our adventures in the great expanse. Draw 50 Outer Space is a great teaching book for the technical look of space. So many draw space books focus on aliens stars and other planets, but in this one you will find various astronauts, shuttles, satellites, and tools. A short book, but a great class.

This is a fun book. Every parent has experienced the loss of a beloved Stuffie. This mom had the smarts to have a backup. Just in case the real bunny gets lost. But Max knows the difference. This story is told from the perspective of the backup bunny, and he laments being stuck in the sock drawer with the caroling Christmas socks. Adorable, and lovable for all. This is a real story, not a backup one

The most wonderful and different version of Twinkle Twinkle I have ever read. This one involves cats. Twinkle twinkle is a star and her feline friends are trying to find a way to visit. But balloon, and dogs, and even some cake can not help the cats get to twinkle. The upside we learn why cats “sing” at night. The illustrations are brights, colorful, and it's of fun. A new book that deserves to earn.classic standing.

When I read the first book of this series I didn’t like it because I was taking a “coat” as an article of clothing. Now after book 3 a a duh moment, I remember that a “coat” can also be skin, or fur. So no complaints. A book that would work well for young kids story time.

A lesson in personification and examples at a park to go along, make up this story of a girl getting ready for a class assignment. This book does a great job of illustrating personification, and the graphics are interesting and entertaining.

As a librarian I find it hard to classify a library, because each is very different. This book has been updated for a modern library, and while it tries to stay simple for the reader, it touches on things not all libraries have, as well as skipping things. Plus the way it reads makes it sound like every library has those things, when they don’t. Not all libraries have 3D Printers or robot clubs. Some are barely able to provide story time. And the picture they provide is more school set, than public set.

Such a heartwarming beginning chapter book. One of the best i have read for this age group in a while. Louie and Ralphie are the brothers Ratso. They help to clean up an abandoned property to create an arcade. They also learn some lessons about spreading rumors and being nice. Such a lovely read for a boy or a girl.

This is probably the book I needed when I was a Child. Charlotte is a chatterbox. She likes to talk, laugh, and tell jokes. But when you do that during class, you miss things, like when you need to bring stuff for show and tell. Plus your friends don’t like forgetting to eat their lunch, or not getting their work done be cause you are too busy talking. A nice lesson with fabulous fairy illustrations.
