This is an interesting concept on a book about temper tantrums. Temper is like a bad pet that you must learn to control. What everyone else does may not work for you, but you can find someway to control your "pet". Interesting. Not bad, and some pretty neat illustrations.

This book was not bad, just not what I was expecting. It is full of Hiku's, one for each day in December up to Christmas. As a reader I guess I would have enjoyed it more if each day's Hiku built onto each other to make a big complete story.

The illustration are fun and lively.

This is just the creep, crawly, make you cringe type of books that I know boys in my library (and some girls too) will love. It is about animal defense mechanisms, and I love that they use animals that are not normally talked about in these books. Instead of hearing about the Poison Dart Frog, they have a hook toed frog that could scratch your eyes out, or a slime eel that will make you feel like you were in Ghostbusters movies.

I loved this book. It was not just Red Riding Hood, but it was more than just a girl at play. A mom wants her Super girl to go outside and play rather than stay cooped up in the house. Our Super girl is super brave and not only ventures into the dark forest, but also stands up to the wolf, and makes a new friend. Overall, a wonderful story with great illustrations.

I really enjoyed this book. Max the dogs is given the job of finding the garden thief who has been stealing all the yummy things to eat. He is sure he knows who the thief is and goes chasing him about the farm. The only problem I have with this title, is that it feels unfinished. The readers know that Max has been chasing the wrong villein, but Max never finds out. It seems too open ended for me.

(Review for parts 1-5) I will admit before I have read a Opal Carew book and so disliked it that I did not Finnish it. However I take each book at its own merits, but I wanted to be honest. I am enjoying this book and was irked that I didn't realize there was 6 parts so I am still waiting to finish it. I have enjoyed the variety of scenes in the books and I love the break down in the parts. I could read the book cover to cover, but I love it being broken down for me, so I do not have to decide where to end for the night. Storm (aka Rafe) is a business suited rock guitarist. Melanie used to be his personal assistant, but left her job to pursue her art. Now that they no longer work together, things are allowed to get hot and heated between the two, but will Storm be able to live with what he and Melanie both want out of a relationship?

As I said, I am enjoying the the book and am desperate to finish it, but there are times when I think the caliber in writing could be better. Some word choices and phrasing seem highschoolish, overused. But overall, it is much better than the first book I ever tried to read by this author.

There was nothing wrong with this book. It had interesting ideas, great pictures, etc. I just feel it is like a paper version of Pinterest.
