I do not know what I expected from this book, but it was not a book on money. The founding of coins for trading to be exact. Why would you trade a cow for an apple? A cow is much more valuable. But the herder only wants one apple. How do you make this trade? By instead trading coins and making everything have a coin price. This was a very interesting book. In the end it goes more indepth about the invention of coins. I liked it, and the illustrations.

I am officially in love with this book. It is a simple explanation of anxiety. What I like about this book is that it may be written for kids who have anxiety, but it can be read with kids who do not, to better understand their friends and classmates. They use the coolest bird pictures to illustrate various points. I think one of my favorites is the pelican screeching.

I am not going to lie. At first this rebirth or “new” batman was hard to follow. But it picked up and started making sense by the end. We are introduced (or at least think we are introduced) to two new superheroes Gotham and Gotham Girl. They want to protect Gotham and help Batman. Batman also has another new cohort Mr. Thomas. He is not a replacement Robin, he is something new. And besides a yellow batsuit, it has not been revealed yet what. We also get a shout out from the Justice League. Overall not bad. We shall see what comes.

Now time for complaints. Why Gotham Girl, why not Gotham Woman. Plus the cheerleader skirt. And worst of all the high heel boots. I am tired of these cliches. You all can do better. Why I’m at it, the yellow writing in the blue box is impossible to read. On my galley it was already blurry, and the color changes just made it worse.

This is not the Green Arrow of old, and not the green arrow of the TV show. And I like that. Some characters are still alive while others may fight for the wrong side, but it works. I want the next volume please.

I am so behind on my supermen reading that this was a little hard to follow. At first. Why are there so many supermen. A red one and a black one. Then when it switches over to the story of son of Supermen, which Superman is that? The stories around the son are interesting. The entire book just seems to be a way to launch a Superboy run.

As someone who watches the Flash on TV I wasn't sure I would be able to pick up the story line. But it actually helped. This story does not go with the TV show, but rather the TV show after the timeline has been changed. It's was easy to follow and the story is interesting. I quite enjoyed it. I also really like that it didn't not have the divisions all the other rebirth titles have that causes the story to skip around. I enjoyed that as wall.

I can not tell you exactly why, but I did not feel a need to finish this book. It’s like it starts in the middle of the story. Plus the multiple supermen, etc. just not my thing. I will look the heroes in their own stories, just not as Justice league.

I'm not sure what this book is supposed to be. Is it a kids picture boo or a picture book for an adult? Mrs. White Rabbit (her hubby works for the Queen of Hearts) keeps a diary written in the form of a letter. She is busy and the kids are okay. The best part of the book are the wonderful illustrations, but I would have a hard time placing the book in a library collection and actually having it check out.

This goes in the DNF pile. I tried. I read the first two chapters (it only has 5) and can just not get into it. Our princesses has been stolen and is being imprisoned and forced to marry a skeleton like creature to give him control of her kingdom. She keeps waiting for her bumbling prince to arrive with a powerful sword that she can use to save herself. I like the idea of a princess who does not want to marry for the good of the kingdom. Someone who wants to fight alongside the knights. I like the feminist wannabe that is this princess. But at the same time she is a whiny, waiting for something to happen next girl. I just don't care for it. Plus it seems like you start in the middle of the story. But after checking, this is book one. So why is there so much missing.

This is an excellent book. It attempts, through pictures, to show child labor here and across the world. For example the child on the left likes bricks. Building bricks to let their imaginations soar. But for the child on the right who spends his day carrying bricks, they are heavy back breaking work. Trying to show a child that there are some places where children do not get play can be a hard concept to grasp. But this book does a fantastic job of illustrating this concept. It's simple, it's true, and it's needed.
