A new graphic novel series about a different kind of superhero. These are the superheroes of the future. No one knows who they are, or how to get in contact with them. You can only try, and hope that your case is one they will take on. When you read the blurb about this book, the “superheroes” are actually a military experiment that escaped. But nowhere in this volume is that mentioned. It doesn’t need to be, as I am sure that will come up in later issues, but it does make the book harder to follow. Right now they are solving the case of a murdered high school student. It has cool artwork and an interesting story. I want to continue the series.

I’m trying to decide if this is a comic strip somewhere. It is a collection of strips about Simone and her friend Morris (who I think is is slug). They live in a monster’s universe. She is Boo to Morris’ Sully. The strips are cute and all age friendly. There is no real flow to the collection as it seems to frequently step between summer and winter, but it works. Can’t wait to see the next one.

I liked this book way more than I was expecting. Bill has a beak ache. He goes to his friends for advice but none of it works. The artwork in this book was amazing. At first I didn’t like the water color blob bird, but as you add the other animals, the blob becomes amazing, like the owl and the zebra.

I liked this book. I think the title needs shorted to just be Up, or Upsy Daisy. It is a look at various ways babies are carried. It has nice artwork, a nice story, and is visually pleasing.

When I opened this book, I knew I had read it before. Last year in fact. But it was titled You are Two. Not much has changed in the book, or in my review. Interesting art and story that is just not my thing.

This is a very beautiful and interesting book of knitting patterns. These patterns match historical people and what they might have worn modernized for today’s woman. The patterns look gorgeous, and the layout of the book is fantastic. Overall I want to give this book 4 stars, but I have to knock it down to 3.

Dover Publications is probably ready to revoke my galley privileges because I tend to harp on the same problems I see throughout their books. The pictures in this book are gorgeous, and I would love them, if I was reading Vogue. They are high quality artistic pictures. That being said they are too dark to show off the sweaters well. Let me pick on specific pages. Pages 27, 33, 34, 36, and 37 the reader has no idea of what that sweater looks like. The sweater is either black or dark blue and you see nothing. On page 37 you can almost see a row of buttons down the back which makes me really want to see what this sweater looks like. If you like floating heads behind a bright blue fence, check out pages 119, 128, 129. I bet this is an awesome sweater, but the black yarn mixes with the black background. Lastly, I love the sweater on pages 149-159. Or at least I think I do. But I can barely see it. Plus I would have loved to see the entire look that was created. I was just as interested in what appears to be a blue plaid lined skirt as I was in the sweater.

This book is just a little bit away from dynamite. I love that Dover had fancy photos done, but they are too artistic and make the projects invisible. Like Goldilocks, I am looking for something that is just right.

I can not help but hear Meg Ryan in her You’ve Got Mail story voice reading these lines in my head. The only way to describe this book is as a “literary” picture book. The language is involved, and wordy. It is hard to keep track of the story because it moves from one scene to another without really connecting anything. I enjoyed reading the book but I can not say I enjoyed the story. Honestly I can not remember the story, because I could not follow the plot. The illustrations are excellent, but I see this more as a class project to be dissected in college than to be shared at bedtime with little children.

I am glad to see more books filling a STEM role. This is the perfect mix of simple science projects for the younger set. Some would need adult supervision but most could be done on their own. A nice add for any kid.

Not a fan of this book. I was hyped by the cover but the story is too long. Plus with discussion questions after each “chapter”. Not for me.

At first I thought this was a global warming story. If it is, then that needs to be made more clear. A fog has settled across the land. People from all over see it. Will it ever go away? The illustrations are lovely, but I am still trying to find the point of the story.
