I love using this one in storytime. The illustrations are so cute, and it works really well in anything ocean-themed.

This was a good collection of animal poems. I really liked it!

I pretty much agree exactly with the Forever Young Adult review. Most stories are good, some are okay, one or two didn't make sense to me at all. You get a good taste of each author and it might give you some ideas about new authors to read full - length books of.

I used it at Storytime last week and it was a hit! Animal noses and beeping are right up their alley.

Since I spent most of the movie yelling "I LOVE YOU MILLIE" I had a feeling I would like this book. And I did, very much, because Millie is the best. And yet, I also found myself drawn to prickly Callie, who definitely has some issues, but you sort of start to understand her. I don't think I could be as patient with her as Millie is, but I did appreciate Millie's ability to understand and forgive.

Also, I still love Hannah too.

A heart-pounding story of a rescue on the high seas that made me not want to go near a boat for a while.

My favorite from this year's list, in terms of illustrations. I just love everything about this one. It's my favorite style of art in books.

This is a decent one about the process of working through things. You try try try again when things don't work.

Sometimes I feel like this is how I react to things: wow everything! Love the bright colorful illustrations.

A quick overview of a man who created the written version of the Cherokee language. Not my favorite illustrations, but I did like learning about this man.
