I love how the author took the standard nursery rhyme and made it a complete story. This little piggy when to the beach, this little piggy brought food, etc. It works wonderfully, and the illustrations make it pop.
I like this story of a dog who is not owned by a boy, and a boy who is not owned by a dog. They are found friends with a common love of surfing. It's a simple story with a great message.
I have really been enjoying this series. The books are bright and colorful and focus on a lesson. In this book Max does not like bugs but his class will be cleaning up the park, and there are sure t0 be all kinds of bugs. But maybe a little bunny rabbit can help convince Max that the outside and even bugs are okay.
It’s time to play Doctor. Zaza has to make sure all of her stuffed friends are in good health.
A child’s birthday with their stuffy. Who will be the present?
Daddy works night on the train from London. Harry sleeps nights. How their days differ as each waits for the other is the focus of this story. I like the story because it focuses on the happy. However I wish it had an answer to the question why. Why does daddy work nights, etc.
I really wanted to like this book. I really did. It is massively overlong. Each page is a jumble of words. The author does a decent job to get it to rhyme, but loses the cadence frequently. Plus the sheer number of words on the page. Maybe if pages and illustrations were added to help space things out. It reads as one long run on sentence. Some kids work hard to order a gallon on slime. When it comes it, it’s ingredients to make the slime, but they don’t read the instructions. So slime takes over the house. I like the idea, but it’s not executed well.
I am in love with this funny book. This would be a hit at Storytime. Jack is a thief. He likes to crack safes. But it will take a duck and a firecracker to crack the toughest bank ever. It rhymes, it has a lovely cadence. It works. On all levels.
This story tries to hard. Emma’s dilemma is that she got an F on the english grammar test. She doesn't know her nouns from her pronouns. The book sets out to teach this lesson. I say the story tries to hard because it goes out of it’s way to rhyme and have a cadence, but uses upper level vocabulary, and still doesn’t always succeed. I like the effort and would love to see the next book in the series. This could go somewhere, this one just fell flat.
Davy so wants to go to the beach. But to get his family and all their stuff there is just too much. Maybe the family can take a vacation. They just have to find the right place. This story has a wonderful old school feel to it. It has amazing watercolor illustrations that are a perfect compliment to the tale of the bunny tails.
