I will forever remember that Taft was stuck in a bath. This fun story has great illustrations. Plus at the end there is history of rafts tubs and even a picture of one with four men in it.

I love the McGee books. They are so much fun. They rhyme perfectly and have great illustrations. This time McGee and Dee decide to take out the boat. And they just happen to make friends with a whale.

A fun reversal of fortune story. Seems much more adult even though it is geared for kids.

Have you ever tried to film a wildlife documentary when no animal acts as it should? It's not easy.

Because I rarely read book descriptions I was surprised that this was a graphic novel and not a picture book. But then again, it is a picture book. With older kids (K-2) you could read this at story time. It would be a little longer, but it could work. The Hippo and Red Panda no longer like the zoo. So they try various human jobs trying to find what works best for them. I enjoyed this book and I think you will to.

I have always loved the underpants books by Freedman. This time she combines two of the elements from other books, dinos and aliens, to have an underpants of a good time. Just beware, with both Aliens and Dinos on the loose, you may lose your undies.

This is not Wonder Woman as you know her. In fact, there is little to like about Diana in this origin story. She is a bratty kid who always wants to be the best and be worshiped and adored. Until, she meets a girl she can not win over with money, only with good deeds. In the ultimate act to garner attention, Diana lets out horrors that destroy her community, and her place in it.

Wonderfully done. A beautiful graphic novel. Except for the title page, Wonder Woman is not mentioned once. It a story of a girl growing up and finding love in the only place it is not readily offered. There are many historians who theorize that the Amazons were a lesbian race, and you can take from this book what you will. Love in general is the focus of this story. But if that holds you back, then that is your prerogative. I anxiously await the further adventures. I want to see redemption, but that may be a long time coming.

I wont lie, I bailed. I could just not get into this book. Maybe I needed to read #1 first.
