Beautiful book. I want one of these houses, unfortunately even the smallest tree house cost more than my real house. But it's lovely to dream.

This is an adorable way to introduce even the youngest kids to graphic novels. And it was wonderful. Narwhal and Jellyfish start off believing each other is an imaginary friend. Fun is had in every page, and now all kids will want to be a unicorn of the sea.

Angleberger never disappoints. This is a great early chapter book that boys will want to pick. That is a hard crowd to please and this book will hit the sweet spot.

The fun never stops when you remove the head of a dumb cop and replace it with a smart dog. Now Dog Man is the talk of the police department. He can stop corrupt robots, invisible cats, and other terrors with hilarity. If only the police chief could keep him off the couch and make him stop licking. A great and fun graphic novel for beginning chapter reader. Unlike Captain Underpants, or Ricky Ricotta these books are fully colored, and included my favorite Flip-O-Rama.

A satirical look at why you should not be friends with a unicorn. It is a coloring book, and the pictures are much more kiddish to color (i.e. simple), but still fun if that is what you desire. I can see this as a gift in Holiday stockings come December.

I thought it was interesting that two different books on the origin of Winnie-the-Pooh came out around the same time. They are both similar, but at the same time, very different. Finding Winnie is written by the great granddaughter of Harry Colebourn. Harry was an vet in the military during WWI and Winnie became their mascot. The book tells a familiar story, but what makes it unique is its perspective: Lindsay telling her son Cole about her grandfather's bear. The end includes pictures of Lindsay and Cole, as well as journal entries of her grandfather and pictures of Harry and Winnie together. A wonderful story and still worth the read, even if you read the other book.

A wonderful true story of how Winnie the Pooh came to be. It was all at the hands of a military vet named Harry Colebourn. The story and illustrations are great, but the best part is the real pictures on the inside covers. Selected for Illinois Reads 2016.

This is two stories in one. There is the non-fiction part that tells who the designer is, what George helped with, etc. These are all really interesting. What I particularly like is that this could be used as a book for Storytime. The second story is a rhyme that builds on itself as you turn the pages. A history lesson and story time rolled into one does not happen often, but this time it works. An Illinois Reads 2016 selection.

Everyone I know calls this book...Who Pooped On My Head. I love it. My nephews love it. It can be hard to find anymore, but I bet your local library can get their hands on it. Read It. Its a must. Ruth Ann, Its all your fault.

I like this book for its message of acceptance of others and other cultures. Who knew a Hippo could do that? Harvey did. Harvey wants to have his friend Crissy over for lunch. He is so excited he even cleans his room, and helps Mom with the chores.
