Lisa Mantchev has created a book about the fears we must face when trying something new and following our dreams in Someday, Narwhal. Narwhal is in their bowl, but they would like to travel and explore, but they cannot read the street signs, they have no feet and they do not know they can do this on their own. They will just stay home where it is warm then. But with a little help from friends, Narwhal finds a way to have some grand adventures. […]
Pearls Before Swine Collections
I had not realized that author-illustrator Stephan Pastis was the same Stephan Pastis that did the Timmy Failure series. I have been a fan of Pearls Before Swine off and on for a few years now. Like any comic, sometimes it was funny and sometimes not so much. I feel for the Crocs but love Zebra, too. Pig and I share a lot of the same qualities. And who does not think like Rat from time-to-time? Or feel like Goat trying to keep our own […]
Neymar: A Soccer Dream Come True
Born in Brazil, Neymar da Silva Santos Joenior grew up imagining what it would be like to be a soccer player. As many kids who are fans of a sport, he would become the announcer, star and every player on the team as he played in his grandfather’s house.

Right Now I’m going to tell you about a book I read……
I am stealing the publisher description with this book: Right Now by Jessica Olien is “a lyrical and touching ode to the importance of individuality, respect, and self-love.” The end. The main issue with this book that I have is: This has been done before. Yes, it is for the younger crowd, therefore, we can grab them early. They can grow with the other books later one. When they start reading this could be added to that stack of read-alone titles. However, the market is […]
Penguins Don’t Wear Sweaters!
Based on the true story of penguins who have been caught in the middle of an oil spill, Penguins Don’t Wear Sweaters! is an interesting story about when humans cause damage to the penguin’s environment and well-meaning humans try to help by knitting sweaters for them. However, this causes other issues to occur. As the author, Marikka Tamura, informed us with their title, penguins don’t wear sweaters and for a good reason. The illustrations of Daniel Rieley are clever, colorful and read right along with […]
Pop Goes the Bubble
One quiet afternoon, a young boy is blowing bubbles. And what was to be a nice, simple, quiet game turns into a chase to the end! Our young hero will chase that bubble to the ends of the earth if he has too, so he can pop every single last bubble he has blown. And yes, that trip does take him to places around the globe and allows him to see things he never imagined. Our hero, Dewey, will not stop until he has gotten […]
