This is an interesting story of a dog that didn’t give up. Grizzly was a large dog that got wobblers disease. He was paralyzed and and to learn to walk again. It’s a real life story of a family and a dog that fought hard for a running and playing friend. I love the sentiment in the story, but it is long and drawn out. It reads like a six year wrote it. However, the reader wants to know what happens in the end so they will keep reading. I love that they include pictures of the real Grizzly at the end.

What makes someone happy. Is it new friends playing ball, or perhaps a new kitten. I find these books do not always hold up against new easy reader stories coming out. And one thing I really miss with this reissue, is that inclusion of the story in Spanish.

What a wonderfully inclusive fairy tale. It is very obvious that Princess Caroline, and Prince Oskar have both heard the story of the Frog Princess. When they meet their own magical frog, a kiss from Caroline does not work. So Oskar sets out to make the two fall in love. It’s just a different two fell in love than was expected. When Oskar kisses Frog Alex, Prince Alex is released to live happily ever after. When I say this story is inclusive I mean it. Princess Caroline is not your usual princess. She is okay with not wanting a love interest. She is in love with herself and her life. Prince Oskar is open to friendship in all it’s form. Prince Alex is a nice guy, and also a POC. I love this book. It’s a little long, but a great choice for inclusive storytimes.

This is a story about a child who begins to show OCD traits. With help of brain doctors and new techniques, he will learn to combat his OCD, to shrink it away. I find the story is long, but simple enough to get it’s points across. My biggest complaint is the word layout on the pages. They have done double columns on multiple pages, and it just looks off.

Short, Simple, and Sweet. A cloud and a snowman make friends.

This book is long. A little girl is telling the reader all about her grandma. It is in a very childish voice and thought pattern. There are times the girl is annoyed because her grandma talks a lot, or changes her mind at the movies, or even that she burns dinner. And sometimes she's happy or wishes she was more like her grandmother. Overall, not a book I would add to my collection. I can't exactly put my finger on it, I just don’t like it that well.

Seems like a great study guide and practice.

Seems like it will be helpful to our patrons

This is a great beginning reader to help kids understand science basics such as material, shape, color, etc.

This is an interesting book that teaches the reader techniques to remember things. Plus it gives exercises to try out these techniques. What makes this book unique is that it is not just a list of things to memorize. There is a bit of a story. Ben likes to travel. Each trip requires ten items. But something always happens and his items end up missing. If I were you, I wouldn’t go on a trip with Ben. This is a fun book that is more play than work.
