A day in the life of one city girl intermixed with the naming of colors. Simple text and repetition make this great for storytime.

Crisp closeups and gorgeous panoramas capture the beauty of the Earth as the text gives gratitude to all there is. Would be a great intro for a class photography project or to celebrate the many facets of our great, green Earth.

Things that go: cars, tractors, airplanes, variety
A little red car says goodnight across town to all the other things that go. It was precious to see the car's eyes start to droop towards the end, but the overall illustrations of the car had slightly off putting angles. Otherwise, Dopirak aligns her text perfectly with the beat of the song.

A cute hide-and-seek concept, but seems to miss the mark if parents are juggling little ones, a book, and a flashlight. This is best used in regular light as you hold it up to the ceiling. I'll be looking for more from the series!

Familiar Experience: Tech overload,
Making his first friends and interacting with real, tangible objects, Blip finds out how fun the outside world is after it's disconnected from its mainframe. Nothing really new but nothing really bad. The illustrations are nice.

Beautiful photography and lovely, sprightly text document the variety of warbler birds in the wild. But this book felt like it could have been any bird so I wish there was more detail about what makes the warblers unique.

Age: Middle School
Nonfiction: History
Short snippets of LGBTQ people that positively influenced the perception of queer culture. I like that this is geared towards the younger, middle school crowd. However, the occasional references to current pop culture and technology will cause this to be fast outdated.

Age: High School
Travel: Mississippi-->Ohio
Special needs: Supporting character with downs syndrome
"After the sudden collapse of her family, Mim Malone is dragged from her home in northern Ohio to the "wastelands" of Mississippi, where she lives in a medicated milieu with her dad and new stepmom. Before the dust has a chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.
So she ditches her new life and hops aboard a northbound Greyhound bus to her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow travelers along the way. But when her thousand-mile journey takes a few turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons, redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane."
Loved the writing style and the narrator's voice (John Green-esque) but wasn't impressed with the ending.
