Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm pretty sure a friendship like these two have is what every little kid really wants. This book shows kids that first impressions are not always correct, and you are capable of creating your own magic. Of course, a bunch of worms never … Continue reading Ivy and Bean
A Library Book for Bear
A Library Book for Bear by Bonny Becker My rating: 3 of 5 stars I must admit, I am still slightly confused as to why Bear felt that a book about pickles was something he needed in his life, but okay. It was a cute story that shows children that there are great things out … Continue reading A Library Book for Bear
The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure
The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure by Doreen Cronin My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read the first book in the J.J. Tully series before reading this, so I did have some background on the characters before I started. I found that this book provides enough background that the reader does not have to … Continue reading The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure
Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw
Wade and the Scorpion's Claw by Tony Abbott My rating: 2 of 5 stars So, this book was kind of difficult to understand because I have not actually read The Copernicus Legacy series. Turns out my library doesn't even have that series, but for some reason, they have The Copernicus Archives. If you can figure … Continue reading Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw
The Hypochondriac’s Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have
The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have by Dennis DiClaudio My rating: 2 of 5 stars Oh my, there are some gruesome diseases in here. There are also some that are just plain scary, not that I started thinking I had them, but just knowing things like that exist is worrisome. … Continue reading The Hypochondriac’s Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have
Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz
Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz by Patrick Carman My rating: 4 of 5 stars The world Patrick Carman created for this series is really cute. The illustrations help bring the story to life since Fizzies are not normal everyday creatures. The juxtaposition between good and bad candy companies is great, especially since Floyd seems … Continue reading Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery
The Chocolate Fudge Mystery by David A. Adler My rating: 2 of 5 stars Totally reading this series out of order, but here we go. This is another one of those books that is great for its target audience, but doesn't really work for those older. My main issue with this book is the fact … Continue reading The Chocolate Fudge Mystery
Peter & Ernesto: The Lost Sloths
Peter & Ernesto: The Lost Sloths by Graham Annable My rating: 3 of 5 stars I've never enjoyed the travels of sloths as much as I did while reading this book. Not that I've ever really thought about sloth travels, but here we are. It was fun seeing how the sloths dealt with animals and … Continue reading Peter & Ernesto: The Lost Sloths
The League of Unexceptional Children
The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty Daneshvari My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I was with the kids for a while on this one, wondering if someone was just messing with them. It seems so weird to say that you want people that are as average as possible. In a … Continue reading The League of Unexceptional Children
Fowl Language: Winging It
Fowl Language: Winging It by Brian Gordon My rating: 3 of 5 stars Fowl Language will never stop cracking me up. In some ways, it makes me want to spend more time around kids to see if life is actually like Brian Gordon describes it, but most of the time, I'm glad I don't have … Continue reading Fowl Language: Winging It
