I really like how this book was laid out. Both graphically and the way the information was presented. Just in the section on flight they break down gravity, if Superman’s cape is like a set of wings, and even how Superman is like, but different from a maple seed. The book is a little bit long, but things are broken up so nicely that the reader can stop and start when they want/need. Topics covered include flight, sight, speed, strength. I think this is a great book to get kids interested in STEM science, while appealing to their desire to be superheroes.

This is a translated book that originally was published in Germany in 2014. It is simple, and sweet. Smart and neat.

This book was not what I was expecting, in a good way. A confessed meat eater has put together a book for kids about vegetarianism and why people do and do not eat meat. At no time are sides taken. Originally, especially when she talks about killing a chicken in the beginning, I thought this would be a rant on the dangers of meat. But it is not. Instead it is a well thought out answer to questions for anyone thinking about what we eat and why. She explains many concepts such as vegan diets, or veggie diets that allow fish. They go over over social, religious, and even financial reasons why various diets exist. This is an excellent book on nutrition and food philosophies that should be in libraries.

As a military brat I have experienced moving more time than most. Sometimes you can feel like it is the end of the world. That you will never have fun again. But sometimes you are just stubborn. Milo will not go outside. He will not explore his new world. He only lets Georgie go out if she ties a string around herself to not get lost. But Milo will one day have to come to terms with moving. A fun book for young and old a like.

Getting over the loss of a pet can be hard. Sometimes you do not want to replace that pet, feeling like a traitor for loving something new.

This book is awesome. It’s a rhyming book about getting ready for school. One of the things i think makes this book special is the biracial family. It is not mentioned in the book, because it doesn’t need to be, but that being said, kids need to see more of it. Kids need books that speak to the life they live, and the life of their friends. It does not need to be overt, just normalized, and this book is a perfect example. More please.

A new book in the Rainbow Fish collection. This one highlights being a good sport. It's good to know that you are not always the winner. But just because you are the loser does not mean you get to be a bad sport about it.

I think Sloppy and my dog are kindred spirits. Dewdrop does not want to give Sloppy a hug. She will give anyone else but Sloppy a hug. After showing how helpful he can be Sloppy gets his hug, and Dewdrop remembers why she didn’t want to hug him in the first place. I want more of these books. Lots more of these books. I love this dragon. His expression, his heart, his illustration. He would be cute as a stuffie to carry around. And Dew Drop is no slouch either. Add This book to your collection, and please make more.!
