This book should be called, “Don’t read this book under any circumstances. Ever!” Is there a rating score lower than one? Sadly, Don’t Tell! by Tom Booth has no story, no action and most importantly has a questionable ending: It is okay to tell a secret someone has asked you to keep. While that is not a black and white issue as, yes, bad secretes should be told but those “good secrets” should be kept. But what kind of secret is a good secret […]
Tiny bubbles Make me happy
Bubbles. Who does not like bubbles? Kangaroo sure does! And in this cute (but has been done before) story, Kit Chase shows us how much Kangaroo loves blowing Bubbles. In fact, when she finds some new ones floating by, she follows them and finds Koala. Who is blowing bubbles, too, but does not see very friendly. In fact, is down right shy. Soon, he starts to play with Kangaroo (although while he’s still in the tree). Yet, when Kangaroo needs help from the big bubble […]
Cats, cats and more cats (Did I mention cats?)
Lisa Ann Scott and Heather Burns have created a new magical series. When Brooke saves a fairy from her cat, that fairy must grant her seven wishes. But everyone knows you should be specific in your wishes and be careful about what you wish for. When she wishes for 100 cats, little does Brooke realize that sometimes less is more! Too Many Cats book one in the Wish Fairy series is straight forward. Adults will realize right off how Brooke’s wish will go wrong. They […]
Party On, Princess!
I like knowing that if I recommend a book to a child there will be other books by the author. Or in this case, more in a series. Party Time Book One in the Puppy Princess series combines two things that will tickle the fancy of some readers: puppies and princesses. Party Time is the story of a young puppy princess who just does not want to be proper, behave and take baths. And especially does not want to wear pink ribbons in her fur. […]
Take the World by Storm
This was such a “Wow!” book for me. I did not know the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, though I am somewhat familiar with the style of her time. A style that she helped create. Again, in this day of looking for books to inspire girls to go out and try (especially when they are told they should not because of their economic status, it is “unlady like” or they are not “fill in the blank”) this is another to add to the list. However, some […]
Dancing Among the Stars
Inspired by the life of Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to travel in space, Mae Among the Stars is a fictionalized story of her childhood. Focusing on the highlights as well as her mother and fathers support, along with her own determination to dance in the stars, Roda Ahmend and Stasia Burrington created a new gem to read. The afterwards gives more of a broader view of who Jemison was and the time frame of when these things were happening. Beautifully illustrated, they are […]
