There is nothing wrong with this book per say. It just didn’t float for this reader. The story starts out about how different the girls are, but that even though they are different they are still friends and alike in many ways. But then bedtime comes, and one girl is scared of the monsters that lurk everywhere. If the author shortened the story to just the bedtime battle, I would like the book much better. But with the build up in the beginning, the princess girl and the tomboy girl, it’s like the author is pointing out that the princess girl isn’t afraid while the tomboy is. And that the princess can save not only themselves but the others as well. I am sure that is not the author's attention, but why go through showing how different they are? Why not start just as the sleepover starts?

If you or your kids liked the Tiny Titans or Tiny Hellboy (etc) graphic, than be sure to pick up this brand new book by the same guys. And this is a new superhero named Encounter. He has a blue pup sidekick and even a robot bone. They will help those in need, and maybe even solve a mystery or two. This green and orange speckled alien, will be the new superhero your tikes can't stop stalking bout. Both fun and entertaining, this book is a great edition to the already popular series by Baltazar.

This was fun. The standard tongue twisters like Sally by the seashore and Peter Piker are there, but so are some new ones to this read. Still, unless I am going really slowly I can not say The Queen in Green Screamed. It doesn’t seem like it should be that hard. The illustrations are nice and using twister that don’t show up everywhere else was a nice added surprise.

In today's world every student should have this book as required reading. The author puts things simply, so it’s easy to understand. It pulls no punches and is honest when it says that sometimes bad things exist and we can do little about it, but it is the way in which it is written that works so well. Mixing illustrations as well as real pictures helps make the information seem real and not just another weird warning for adults. I am very serious when I say, not just one-to-one school but all schools should make this required reading before they give their students a device, I mean it. Parents, beat them to it, and get a copy to keep at home for your kids, and the neighbors.

I have been very impressed with this series as a whole, and this new title is perfect for the world we live in. It's about prejudice that can be seen at school, at the playground, at home. The author does a great job describing what is prejudice and other hot words that are thrown around. She makes them easy to understand, and easy to talk about. I also really like that she says it's something passed down, sometime unintentionally. This is a perfect book for any library, and it is sorely needed in our communities today.

From the beginning I thought this was a daddy daughter story. Then parts made me think it was a guy to his girl. The author tries to rhyme, and while most of the story does, it doesn't flow. The cadence is off. That could be the way it’s spaced out on the pages, or just the writing itself. The illustrations don’t help. I like that they are bright and colorful, but ehhhhh. Like mentioned earlier, the illustrations help confuse the reader one who this story is about.

A little boy has a magical trap door under his bed. It takes him to the land of dinosaurs. And there are lots of dinos to see. This was a nice book. The added info bits were a nice touch. I think this could be a simple but fun series .

This is a beautiful book. They put a lot of work not just in the shawls but in the pictures that show off the works. The instructions are well laid out and easy to follow. My problem is with the patterns themselves. I never thought i would need to work about sizing on a shawl, but this book may have proved me wrong. So many of the works, while beautiful are short. They don’t have the long fall i expect from a shawl that. For example the mermaid style shawl. It’s beautiful, but I don’t thing based on the pattern I would ever be able to wrap it around myself. I may be wrong, but that is my impression. A beautiful book, but not one this knitter would buy.

To find mommy you need to find the right legs when you are too small to see faces. A different look at an animal book, with a different view of the world. Not bad, but not memorable either.

A short and simple book for the youngest audience. It is in both English and Spanish.
