Tuck Me In! by Nathan W Pyle
My lunch time pastime is looking at old and new online reader copies. I swap back and forth as to which gets attention during that particular viewing. Recently the new ones were the lucky ones. I saw a thumbnail cover that had a moon and what I assumed was a beach on the cover. It said Tuck Me In!, and my first thought was (to be honest) that it looked boring as it was going to be just another bedtime story for babies and toddlers. […]
Hupo and the Wonder Thief by Billy Partridge
I enjoyed the book Hupo and the Wonder Thief by Billy Partridge. There is something about this dog-like critter (they say they are a dog-rabbit combo) and his quirky personality. Now, to boil it down, he is a lot. And I mean a lot. He might be physically smaller in size, but there is a big amount of wonder that fills him. He loves learning, exploring, being himself and sharing that with others. However, the city he lives in is not the most open to […]
Story Spinners: A Sisterly Tale of Danger, a Princess, and Her Crew of Lady Pirates by Cassandra Federman
I started a review once that said that I like sibling books and sister books in particular. Story Spinners: A Sisterly Tale of Danger, a Princess, and Her Crew of Lady Pirates written and illustrated by Cassandra Federman is one of those books. Currently available, this is a cute story about modern day sisters, with one having some old school ideas that get messy when the sisters unite to tell their “other sister” a bedtime story. Of course, there is more than that. The oldest […]
Choose Your Own Adventure: The Ghost on the Mountain (Dragonlarks) by Kyandreia Jones
I don’t know about you, but I used to enjoy the Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid/pre-teen. They were easy and even back then I liked that quick read. That mystery of where your choice would take you. Now they were not my main genre for reading and I moved onto other books, but I always held a small space in my heart for them. And as a bookseller I found them again, but again, I don’t need to read. But I found […]
Detective Duck V02 The Case of the Missing Tadpole by Henry Winkler
Fairy Door Diaries: Eliza and the Flower Fairies by Megan McDonald
One of the fun parts of my job is reading books before they come out. And reading books that are below my physical age because I can say I am “reviewing” it for work. Of course, I usually just say that I’m reading for fun as I’m not embarrassed to read a book for a six to ten-year-old. And the below two books are those kinds of books. The nice thing about Detective Duck V02 The Case of the Missing Tadpole is that you do […]
Wish You Were Here: Postcards from Franz Kafka by Bernadette Watts
Picture Day at Dino Play by Sean Julian
One day I was sitting at my desk, trying to remember what the next thing on my To-Do list was, as I had misplaced it (I’m thinking of adding “Find Last To-Do list you lost” to the new To-Do list), when I got an email from the wonderful contact I have from NorthSouth books. They were asking me to take a quick survey about their books/operations and as a thank you, I could have a book sent to me. Well, yes, I’m all about free […]
