Simple but elegant. A great way to explain to kids that being sad is okay. This book could be helpful to a kid who has depression or a friend trying to understand.

This story is way to long. It wants to be a non-fiction book about the life cycle of a polar bear. But it’s only half a life cycle. It does hit on how climate change is endangering the polar bear but it’s format takes too long to get to the point of the story. That part of the problem. It wants to be a story, but is more fact than fun.

I love this story. Narcissa is a very pretty bunny. And she knows it. She points out to all the other animals how not pretty they appear. That is until she meets a magic frog. Who makes her regret her actions. I love how this story ended. It’s an open ending that would make for a great classroom discussion about how we treat other people.

Hofbert has never seen spring and he is awaiting its arrival. He looks high and low and meets great new people. But when will spring arrive. The illustration in this book are nice, and the story okay, but nothing special.

While it is a book written from an episode of the show, i still fully enjoy it. I wish they would bring Darkwing Duck back.

This book has a lot of amazing information in it, however, probably due to the type of digital galley I am viewing I do not like the layout. Many of the large pictures are cut in half, and smaller pictures, the reader can tell where the shadow was cut off along the top or side. I will say everything looks realistic and yummy and I can not wait to try it at home. Overall, great information, but not the best execution.

I like the lesson in this book, but I hate a bratty kid. And the illustrations that use a pig (known to eat anything) as the picky eater, just doesn’t work for me. I know kids and parents who need a book like this, and I am happy the parents finally took a stand and said eat or don’t eat. It’s just a “how I was raised thing”. The author did a fine job, but the topic annoys me.

This is a fun little cross stitch book, but not really improper. The designs are simple, and some are a bit snarky. All of these could easily be done by a beginner.

This book is all about traditional quilts in traditional patterns and fabrics. Then after the quilt design there is normally how to make a pillow, and how to make something else, like a bee or a flower. Overall not a bad book, but more for beginners.

This is a look at quilting traditions in the south. It is full of historic quilts, why they are significant, and how the pattern plays up the south. I have always wanted to make a pine burr quilt. I’ve seen them and it’s the one pattern I have never tried. There is just something about mixing origami that I am just not sure I can do. A great book for any quilters collection, but remember, it’s a history book, not a pattern book.
