I don't get this book. It should be a simple counting book, but is more convoluted. The numbers are on a space flight but they are fighting. There is a simple rhyme to put numbers in pairs, and then “poof” the next illustration shows them getting along. Plus the poof is always a beaker, like some science experiment was done. I want to like this but it needs more or better thought out.

The illustrations in this book are amazing. 5* There is so much texture, and color spread that it pops off the page. Saying that, that same texture can make some of the pages hard to read. This is a story about heart. About saying and meaning nice things. That it makes others feel nice, and you feel nice as well. The message is sound, if not a little long, but the illustrations more than make up for that.

Q and Ray are not only friends, but sleuths solving cases in their town. This time a baseball has gone missing. Now Ray isn’t such a fan of baseball, but Q is a mega fan, so much so she has joined the school team. And it will take teamwork to get to the bottom of this case. This is a fun early age graphic novel great for those that are a little put off by the idea of a full chapter book.

This book was not only fun, it was very informative. In a small way it explains sarcasm, but it’s not just sarcasm. It’s how to tell connotation of what a person is saying. I think this book is helpful to everyone in general, but would be a great source for parents with very literal children, learning how to read social cues. It takes the concept and gives multiple examples of using that concept in everyday life.

This was such a fun book. Lucia Lacorte like to play games. She even started a gaming club. However, her actions when she wins, or win she loses leave much to be desired. After she refuses to play by the new rules all her friends leave her club. No she can only play with grandpa. He is such a bad sport. He gloats when he wins and throws a fit when he loses. A great story for kids an parents, and while this book centers around board games, it could pertain to any type of games including sports.

Hearts, and scales, and dragons oh my. What a wonderful story and a wonderful lesson. Take time to learn and know about someone/something before snapping to judgment. You just might find love. I have found love with this book. And I can see many teachers, and librarians using it for lessons, and boards, and crafts. Yeahhhh

A lovely book about looking at what you can do, and what you can't do. And that often times the cant goes away with a little practice.

A typical animal alphabet book turned on its head by the use of lesser known animals. Do you know what a Fossa, a chinchilla, or a exrus is? Then it’s time to find out. Read this book with fun illustrations, and fun sounding animals.

This book reminds me of my grandmother's cat Sam. Standoffish until he got what he wanted, but still a best friend. This is simple and short book perfect for the littlest ones bedtime.

A simple easy reader on all the things one can give thanks. It almost reminds me of the funny little Thanksgiving poems kids learn and pass around each year. But this isn’t so much funny, and has no jolly quip, just a simple message of thanks. The illustrations are not the greatest, they remind of things from the sixties, but they work and are appreciated.
