My only complaint is that there was not enough Gina!

I'm not sure what to think of this book. It's a little sad, it's a little creepy, and it's a Halloween story. I'm not really sure if it would work at a preschool story time. I do think it would work well as a book to help kids deal with a pet's death at any time of year. I also really enjoy Rohmann's illustrations.

I liked this book about planting mangrove trees in Eritrea. It has two narrative lines--a poem and prose text that explains further information. I liked the end pages which had photographs of Dr. Sato and also had references and where you could find current information about his work. I also really enjoyed the paper and fabric collage illustrations.

I think my favorite thing about this book were the illustrations and the fact that each butterfly was labeled.

I like the illustrations in this book, less keen on the story.

Normally I don't comment a lot on the Easy Readers that I read (I would definitely have my 300 goal met if I did!) but I felt the need to comment on this one. If there was ever a Disney Princess book that justified the Facebook group "Disney Gave Me Unrealistic Expectations of Love" then this book might be it.
