There comes a time in every hedgehogs life when you have to learn to forage for yourself. Herbie’s first adventure is a big one, on a cold snowy night.

Alien has one job, to keep the stars shining. But with no play and no friends, the stars go out. Alien must travel to earth and meet new people to help get the night sky shining again. Overall, a lovely picture book.

Goodnight moon takes on a entirely new meaning, when Max does his nightly rounds. He says goodnight to his box, his fish, and many others, but he can not find the moon to day good night. So searching he must go. I like the simple illustrations, and while not a cat person, Max is a fun little kitten sure to be enjoyed by many.

I am completely in love with this book. The little boy really wants to be a dinosaur, and he finds the perfect tutor. But once his dino tutor starts realizing that it is also fun to be a little boy, things just might change. I love the illustrations, and really want the dino reading page as framed art to hang at my desk. I also really like how the inside covers have the old 50’s style dinosaur pages, before you get to the story. This is a book I will be purchasing for the little ones I know, and hope that many libraries add to their dinosaur collection.

I can not help but love this series and I am glad that it has taken off with kids. My nephews are always excited when I have the new title to read. I really like that this titles covers.multiple types of racing including NASCAR style, Rally racing, and even drag strips. Good job.

I am in love. Every library needs a copy. It may be a little two long to read at most storytimes, it is perfect to illustrate why kids need a library card. The illustrations take everything over the top. Sometimes the rhymes are a little harsh, but it all comes together in the end.

What happens when Monkeys have better manners than the children who have come to see them? They just might get put in a cage. And they rightfully deserve it.

What a lovely books. Make sure to read it out loud. It gives it more oomph. I can see why so many people said “Read This”.

This is a book picked for Illinois Reads 2016. This program encourages people to read books by Illinois authors, and picks a wide range each year. Off the bat this is probably not a story I would have picked up, as the cover illustrations do not grab me. But I would have sorely missed out if not for this program. It’s a story about the passing of time, and how everything can find a new purpose no matter how tattered and torn. That a family can be traced in objects that start as one thing, and end as something else.

To believe or not to believe. Who is real? Santa? Harold? Is this all just some cheap trick made up so parents can hog all the presents. Well I’ll never tell, so you will have to read the book on your own to find out.
