This book is quite hard to follow. It starts off with a grandfather wiping his tea pot which is actually a wishing pot. The pot is stolen by his grandson who wishes for a bike. He has a bike, but it is too big, he wants a smaller newer bike. Then there is the parable of wishing for shoes and seeing a guy with no feet to have shoes on. Then getting crayons and coloring your own bike and making it new again. This book is just all over the place. The only nice thing are the illustrations. Not great, but nice.

Dear Kay Thompson’s estate,

STOP commissioning new Eloise books. They suck. The last one was racist and this one keeps making fun of accents by saying “bawth” instead of bath or bathe. They also do it with “rawther” and other words. It’s annoying. Stop ruining a childhood favorite.

Signed the original lovers of Eloise

I think this may be the last Star Scouts book. At least it reads like it is. It is time to integrate the Star Scouts. No longer will there be separate troops for the oxygen breathers and the either breathers. They must learn to work together to make the organization a better unit and to better help all species. This book takes a look at how friendships change. When people make new friends, or try to introduce someone new to the group. Some end up feeling left out. I enjoyed this book, and if it is the last one, it ends on the perfect note.

If you have not read book one, this title can get a bit confusing. Trust me. I enjoyed it, and read it as a standalone. People are disappearing from earth and others have been enslaved by aliens. The two must both fight to see the continuance of the human race. A fun book, but I really need to read book one. I look forward to seeing the next book in the series.

This is just weird. I used to love paper dolls when I was younger, but they are lost on this current generation. First complaint, paper dolls always start with the doll in it’s underthings. I wish Kate and Megan were a little more covered up. It’s like the artist figured under their clothes they are a little slutty. They emphasize the breasts and are really short. The outfits for the paper dolls are outfits the Kate and Megan have really warn, but it’s weird how they have separate heads to cut out instead of just hairstyles and hats. This is really just for a fan to collect.

Paper cutting can be a beautiful art as this book shows. For how short it is, it has beautiful projects almost anyone can do. Some are easier than others. I goes through various concepts, the type of paper, ways to cut, and concepts like folding and layering.

Bunny’s mama is going on a business trip, and Bunny wants to go too. But Bunny will have to stay home and have his own staycation. With the help of Papa they take trips to the beach, the arctic, and even go on a safari all from the comforts of home. And they have a special trip planned when Mama walks through the door. This book is great for showing imagination at work. That you can create adventures right from you own bathroom or kitchen. Lots of fun, and the illustrator does a great job keeping things fun, but also showing great emotion and heart.

A fun book about breaking out of shyness. I enjoy how the author used the verb “pop” for action sounds when the snails hide in their shells. It’s a book long time picture book readers have seen a hundred times. Nothing is fresh or new, but the story is nice and will be enjoyable to kids.

This book is about differences being okay. Lucy is a lightning bug who does light up. She is the best at everything else, but no bioluminescent. Lucy does become a hero in the end when she uses her uniqueness as a tool to help others. This story is typical, and so are the illustrations. Nothing special. But it does make me miss lightning bugs. I haven't seen any in years.

This is a primer meant for kids, but good for anyone on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This book attempts to explain how it works, why it’s useful, why it’s harmful, and concerns the public has about going to digital currency. I think the block chain portion of this book needs it own book, but overall it is a great way to learn about an emerging technology.
