A simple story for the younger set. My biggest problem is that for the first half of the story, the little girl never looks happy. Picture books should be happy unless they are purposely sad for moral reasons.

I can not help but love this book series. Mr King is a cat, who tries to fix something he thinks is a problem, but makes a bigger one instead. This time he is after a caterpillar who is chewing the flowers. But his big machine makes the air to hard to breathe. So what should he do now? Hummmm.

The brains behind Snatchabook are at it again. Leo the mouse just wants time to read, but his parents insist that he go fight the big mean dragon. On his quest he meets a griffon, an orge, and of course a dragon. How does he tame these savage beasts? With a story as it should be.

Fuchsia is not fierce, until her parents send her to Camp Confidence. A cute but overly pink book. It was also so simplified that I’m not sure it will get its intended message of “believe in yourself” across.

How do you treat your cat? The way you want to be treated of course. Your cat may not like to do all the things you like to do, and may not like to be petted when you want to pet/him or her. And that is okay.

First off, some of the language. She learned him...got a good idea… there are a few others, that just do not read right. I get that it’s how a child might talk, but I see adults talking like this. I would not want to set this book in front of a kid and say, hey, this is okay. It also shows that if you don’t want to listen to your parents rules, to just leave. Esmeralda has no manners, so her parents send her to a deserted island to learn some. There she tries to teach a gorilla the manners, that she is lacking. At the end the parents are so impressed with the gorilla that they take him home, and Esmeralda stays behind on the island to be wild a free, and to do as she pleases. Overall, not a book I would recommend or put in my library collection.

First off beautiful illustrations, but if modern school children are not taught cursive, this book will not last long. It is a dying skill, and will soon be a lost language. I have had a few grandparents already say they can use cursive to send secret messages because no one under the age of ten could read it. Cleo, has an imagination and knows how to use it. Meeting a new friend makes her days active and fun. No more reason to be lonely.

Are we there yet? No we are on a journey. We are off to see what all we can see. We may be gone days, or even months. We will change, our world will change, and our view of the world will change.

A coffee table book for adrenaline junkies. I love a good roller coaster, but it takes a true enthusiast to turn this love into a gorgeous pictures. For each park mentioned, many coasters are listed and two or three are highlighted. The point out what makes them special, and sometimes even what makes them ordinary. I love that they even included a Q and A with a coster design company.

NO. How dare she make me wait for a book 2.Warning once you start this title, you will not be able to put it down. Let’s visit Chicago 300 years from now. The giant lakes have become marshes. The population is divided into five factions that have very little do to with each other. At 16 you must decide on the faction you want to live on for the rest of your life. To change factions from which your were born means treason to some people. To make it worse, just because you pick a faction, does not mean you will survive initiation. Enter Beatrice. She was born in Abnegation, the selfless faction. Everything is for the good of others. Beatrice feels unworthy of her faction, and sees her fears come true in her aptitude test where she is labeled Divergent. This is dangerous so she tells no one. On choosing day she selects a different faction and must learn to conquer her greatest fears. While 80% of this book is surviving initiation, it glimpses that society is falling apart. This book keeps you hooked from the start. If you liked Hunger Games you will like this.
