Lichtenstein’s art is used to show off the alphabet. This book is put together by Bob Adelman, but I think I would have preferred if Lichtenstien had purposefully written an alphabet book.

This book is based of the animated Disney character Genie of the Lamp. Just like in the movie he contorts himself to different animals, things, and events. It’s a fun book, and an easy cash grab for Disney.

Mercer Mayer is best known for Little Critter. But did you know he also wrote about Little Monster? This first book is a simple look at Little Monster’s home and life. Great for fans and newbies alike.

You can never have too much Scrooge McDuck. Even if he thinks the best surprises are money. But he will learn. This is a great easy reader that stands the test of time.

This is a serialized version of the first episode of Ducktales when the boys come to stay with Scrooge. We are introduced to the cast, and little Webby takes on the Beagle Boys and saves the day. I love this show, but the translation to story was not well done.

This book is a typical say hello -say goodnight to animals books. The illustrations are reminiscent of Karma Wilson. What makes this book special is the tactile flocked animals on each page.

Some books are timeless. For this book, the story itself, and the illustrations are timeless, but the wording to tell the story dates itself. And feels lacking because of age.

I like the concept of this book, and I like the artwork. It has the ability to leave the reader with a warm feeling inside, but what else would you expect from Hallmark. They are pulling them in early. The author tries to rhyme, and doesn’t do a bad job, but isn’t always successful, but to this reader the cadence is most important. Once you figure out the cadence, the story flows better, but there are times when the cadence drops and puts a twist in the tongue.

This easy reader is a perfect Sesame Street story. Ernie wants to win the paint set Mr. Hooper’s store is giving away. His picture of a rubber ducky is good, but his cousins picture of a tiger is better. Maybe he could tell everyone he painted the tiger? Will Ernie tell the truth? It’s Sesame Street, what do you think?

This story was VERY VERY VERY long. It’s about a troll who want to know why they can not go outside in the daylight. He goes on a grand adventure meeting various trolls from fairytales and fables in search of his answer. The illustrations scream 80’s, but are so well done, and so vibrant for a muted palette. An interesting book for an adult, but probably a snooze for most modern kids.
