Frankie and Friends: The Lost Tooth by Christine Platt

One of the main things I like about Frankie and Friends: The Big Protest by Christine Platt is that things are presented in a kid friendly way. By using the journalistic approach (which is described) we are able to see how such things as “big news” is carried out. And this accessible language (with a glossary of the highlighted words) allows us as kids (aged six/seven to read to, eight/nine to read solo) and adults to have a neat read and learn about not only […]

BOOKS! BOOKS! And…. well that’s it. Only two books.

Two books that can be given to the child this Valentine’s Day: because we love books, teeth, vampires, and dinosaurs. Or, these are good if you are looking for something fun and few to read. I Love My Fangs! Well, actually, if I did have fangs, I would. You see, I am one of those odd people who never had “canine” teeth. I had teeth in that area but never those fangs I so admire in our hero young Dracula. And he really loves them, […]

When you prank the Tooth Fairy you get more than a quarter

Jennifer Hansen Rolli has some fun illustrations in her and Erin Danielle Russell’s How to Trick the Tooth Fairy. However, the actual story of playing tricks on people is not my thing.

But again, I have never been a prankster person. Therefore, when […]

The good news about Dory Fantasmagory: Head in the Clouds is I got it for free. This is another story where a child is not thinking and gets herself into trouble but does not seem to learn her lesson. This is usually due to the fact she is “so cute” or her teacher is unable to find a punishment Dory realizes is to curve her trouble-making and not “mean”, or her parents have a “modern” take on parenting, or in more than one case, her […]

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.
