Otis makes a new friend who is better at the quiet game than anyone else.

I picked this book up because I am a military brat. I went to a few military run schools, but no actual military schools (but some seemed pretty close).


Sam is also a military brat. But she has this little problem: she can not turn down a dare. Even when it is to enter the Denmark Military as one of the first female students. It’s hard work, and dangerous, but Sam has the memory of one brother pushing her, and the other brother pushing her away. Home life is not any better. It will take guts and determination to get to the end of the semester, and only Sam will be able to determine if it is worth it.


This book is a little G.I. Jane, a little Skulls, and a little any teen romance novel. Even though romance is forbidden. I like that the author focuses on Sam’s struggle, and not just Sam’s struggle with boys. Many characters are typical, and some so predictable it’s boring. Overall it’s a nice read, not too weighty, but not so fluffy. I am glad it’s a stand alone, as I would not read any sequels.

This is a very powerful picture book. One every needed in today's society. We follow a family from their warn torn country to seeking a new life as a refugee. The concepts are broad to make the topic understandable, but it is done in such a beautiful way. When you have to explain the news to your kids, books like this are important steps to helping them understand. What makes this book that much better are the whimsical illustrations that perfectly help set the tone and the story.

Finally a teacher who is more like a kid, and a class of students more like teachers. You need to get up on time, sit still, etc. Love the book and the illustrations.

Grumpy cat gives me the blahs. There is nothing new or unique here. Just grumpy being grumpy and insulting. At least Garfield was entertaining and made you laugh

So this book lost me. It is a wordless picture book and you go from location to location, but there never seems to be a reason for these locations. The illustrations are okay, and I think it could work as a seek and find book, but just as a regular wordless picture book, I think it fails.

I really like how Pink Panther was brought back. Some silent strips, some with thoughts. It still has that wonderful Tom and Jerry fell that has been cleaned out of most books. I also enjoy the side cartoon like the anteater. He was my favorite growing up. We need more books with anteaters I think.

This is a great book to introduce children who they are and who others are/may be. It explains cisgender and how not only we look at ourselves, but how we look at others. A very important book for any library collection.

1st off, Dover get a new photographer. The shadows are huge!!! Then they are cut off as you try to get the biggest picture possible into the space. The rest of the layout is fine, and so are pictures without a white background. I know this is the second time I posted this about one of your books, and I will continue to do so until it’s fixed. I read a lot of craft books and this is an automatic turnoff. Next title please.

On to the book itself. The instructions are fine, and the projects look fun. That being said, I would never pay for this book based on the first graphic I see when I open it.

So my dads dogs have a squeaky chicken, and it was Carson the dog’s, favorite surprise. But now him and mom are on a long road trip. Carson knows there is a surprise at the end, and at each stop he wonders if this could be it? The surprise turns out to be perfect, just like this book.
