A disjointed read, but that is the appeal for distracted readers and listeners. Very funny, built up ending.
"Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Buckets and buckets of tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa . . . oh, boy. You're in red-hot trouble" (Goodreads feature review).

"As the inhabitants of Redwall Abbey bask in the glorious Summer of the Late Rose, all is quiet and peaceful. But things are not as they seem. Cluny the Scourge, the evil one-eyed rat warlord, is hell-bent on destroying the tranquility as he prepares to fight a bloody battle for the ownership of Redwall.
What can the peace-loving mice do to defend themselves against Cluny and his army of rats? If only they had the lost sword of Martin the Warrior, they might have a chance. But the legendary weapon has long been forgotten -- except, that is, by the bumbling young mouse apprentice Matthias (formerly Redwall's most awkward novice) who, in the course of his quest, forges strong ties with various local animals and becomes the unlikeliest of heroes" (Goodreads feature review).
A bit boring for me but a great introduction to fantasy for older kids.

Mr. Morris Lessmore has always enjoyed books. "His life was a book of his own writing, one orderly page after another." After an unforeseen disaster strikes, Morris is at a loss for words--even the words of his book have been lost. Without much else to do, Morris begins to wander until he decides to look up one day. There, fluttering up through the skies is a "festive squadron of flying books." Upon following the books to an extraordinary library, Morris finds purpose in caring for the books. Even greater, is how the books begin to care for him.
Fantastic, emotionally-rich pictures with an expertly crafted story allow the love of books to emanate without cheesiness, pompousness, or boredom. A great book to discuss further with children.

Ten Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break if You Want to Survive the School Bus
John Grandits, Michael Allen Austin
A longer story about the rules of the bus as told by the narrator's older brother. A fun read with a well written story
A fable-esque story about the value of thoughtfulness. When Willoughby is given 10 wishes by a magical lion sitting upon a rock, he wishes for everything a boy can dream of. But if his last wish is not the most wonderful thing of all, the lion will be stuck on the rock forever.
Shrouded in mystery, the audience can guess what Willoughby's final wish was. Accompanied with line artwork and gold paint (to represent his wishes).

On the way to the Peach-Pickin' Festival, Little Buddy Earl has a hankerin for yodeling. "But what's the use of that?" his family wonders. Little do they know that every time he yodels, the crops they pass grow to enormous sizes. Can he help out his Cranky Uncle Frankie and Aunt Evelina Josephina's "sorry-lookin'" peach tree?
A very, very fun book just begging to be read aloud with a high-falutin' Southern accent. Unfortunately, the grimy, vague pictures detract from the story. I was unaware the first time around that the crops were growing every time he yodeled. Too bad, cause the story is a fun one.
