I loved this one, and I'm not even a huge lizard person. I just really enjoy good books about pioneering women, and this fits the bill. Procter is an inspiring figure, and who knows what she would have done if her life had not been cut short by cancer?

I like the rhyming scheme, but I'm not sure that I would use it in storytime or structure a program around it.

I liked the story, the afterword, and the illustrations, but dialect doesn't always work for me and it didn't work for me here in some parts, where I had to really concentrate. I think, if I read it out loud, that might have been better. And, as usual, I am a white woman reviewing this so who knows what racist assumptions I am bringing with me about dialect that I haven't unpacked yet.

Loved it. I wonder how long I have to wait until the third one comes out! Hopefully not too long.

Gosh, I love this one.

I love this series. Beautiful illustrations and great rhymes make for good storytime reading.

This is so good in storytime. Kids love looking for all the different animals. It's easy to read aloud.

Super cute story about a little turtle that loves to pretend, and a class that gets in the spirit, and a teacher that doesn't mind getting into it either.

Not my favorite book ever, but a good introduction to what happened to the wolves in Yellowstone National Park and how they came back.

Nothing about this folktale really says "Chinese" to me, but it's a good story about sharing when you have enough.
