This was a fun beginning chapter book. IT has lots of full color pictures. The rag tag group of pirates love bananas and monkeys, but they can get into trouble when they don’t use the brain in their head. See what trouble they get into by picking up this adventure. You’ll have a laugh and an adventure all in one.

Astro is a little more present in this title which is a good thing. Astro and his friends Ben and Eva visit their grandpa’s farm. They learn the difference between a farm animals and other animals and go on an pig chase. Not bad, but more advanced easy reader. Still not a favorite.

Lots of fun ideas to incorporate Minecraft in to science and engineering lessons. Plus some basic primers for those of us who have never played. I can see kids and adults alike using this book for new projects and adventures.

A lovely book about animals that are trying to get a little one to stop trying. The illustrations are lovely and so is the story.

Way way way too long. I didn’t make it to the end. I was board and the illustrations were not interesting enough to keep my attention through the slough of words on the previous page.

This is a simple non-fiction book about dogs for the youngest readers. Not too long, not to complicated. Just right for bedtime or story time.

The words were missing on my copy of this book. Only one page had words and they didn’t make sense. I'm happy to find out that this is not supposed to be a wordless book, because the story is a little complicated for that. And I don’t think the art can make the book stand on it’s own feet.

The lessons in this book are well laid out and well planed. The piggy is enjoying his bright sunshiny day when a fly starts buzzing close and being annoying. He thinks about swatting but, but no he's a pacifist, he thinks about this and thinks about that. He looks at the down side of any action he wants to take before he takes it. I am really impressed how it was done because it does not fell preachy, it feels real. I am a little tired of the the pages in the back telling parents how this book can help. Not all book need that.

Mac is a ship’s cat. And it is up to him to protect his master Sammy from the great sea beast that comes aboard their ship. Simple, but endearing. A cat in a human world.

This book is part counting book, part seek and fine. There is not much to the story and it has no rhyme or reason. The point is to practice counting and use your eyes to find hidden things. It’s successful and a book I could see checking out quite often.
