I actually found the plot of this one generally easier to follow than the first. Still looking forward to the Netflix show.

I liked it, but it made me feel like I need to reread the series to really remember who all the characters are and to get the easter eggs.

I enjoyed this book, although not as much as her previous series.

Eugenie Clark is definitely an admirable woman. This is a good start for kids who are curious about how to become a scientist who studies animals.

I really liked this one. It made me smile: the glittery cover, the way Sophie is an expert but never sees the real unicorn, how she has made everyone else into a unicorn. I'm not sure there really needed to be a point to it, it's just cute!

NO ONE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A SAD BOOK.

But it was so good. I just shouldn't have been flipping through it at work to review it.

I relate to this dog hardcore. Lobsters can be scary.

I love elephants, and I love the illustrations in this book. Children will love learning a bit more about elephants.

Not my favorite of the Chickadee nominees this year, but it was pretty good.

I enjoyed this one quite a lot. It's the story of an island after a tsunami destroys most of the people who live there. It's about Mau, who starts to lead the nation, and Daphne, the 'ghost-girl' who helps him. It's sort of like what building a nation from scratch would be, especially if there was a language barrier. I liked it a lot.
