One not so little pug named Pig, is a greedy pup. It is Halloween and all he wants to do is to not only get the treats but to get the right treats. And then Pig wants to eat the treats! And if you are stingy with treats, you will smell more than his feet in Pig the Monster (Pig the Pug) by Aaron Blabey. Of course, Pig earns that a dog should not eat a lot of chocolate (after all it can make you, […]

What do you need more? A good book or a good hug? How about a book ABOUT a hug?

I Need a Hug by Aaron Blabey

I Need a Hug is a year-round reading book, but also a great book for the upcoming holiday of President’s Day! (Oh wait, wrong kind of snake). Kidding aside, it is a sweet Valentine’s Day book. That “prickly thing” (a porcupine) wants a hug! Just a little cuddle! But all the other characters (Joe and Ken and such) rhyme their very strong No! Along with running away. Quickly! But at the end they are all just as quickly coming back! Do they want a hug […]

Bad Guys in Intergalactic Gas is the fifth book in the Bad Guys series. And the first one I read. And of course, it is about…. farts.

Just be Yourself… unless you can be a Unicorn, then be a Unicorn.

So obviously we all want to be unicorns. Unicorns are special and magical and made of glitter and sparkles. I got this book for Little Squishie, who is a magical sparkle unicorn of a child. She is the most Herself person I know, and even though she is only 3 years old, I never want her to lose that sense of herself as special and magical. I’m not sure about this book though. The more we read it, the less I like the message. The […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
